Christmas in May?

 I was planning to continue working on the Cherished Envelope today, but I need my mellor. (A mellor is a handy-dandy tool used in goldwork.) My mellor is missing.

I have cleaned off my worktable, dumped out all my tote bags in the area, looked in project bags and boxes, moved furniture around--in short, spent the morning and a chunk of the afternoon looking for one little piece of metal.

It's been awhile since I used it, and I can't remember the last time I did--so I have a terrible feeling that I may have misplaced it on one of my trips.

So, I'm going to order a replacement, which means that it will turn up n the most obvious place as soon as the new one arrives.

Meanwhile, I trimmed a tree.

This was the 2024 Thistle Threads ornament which was supposed to go on the tree last year. RST showed up instead, so I didn't get it finished by Christmas 2024. I'm leaving the date on it anyway, since it was designed for last year. That way, in case there's a 2025 ornament, I won't be confused by having two 2025 ornaments at some point in the future.

Apparently we're going to binge the new Reacher series this afternoon, so I need to find something idiot-proof to stitch. Maybe I'll knit a dishcloth instead of stitching today.
