There are (obviously) still spaces to ask questions on the question/topic meme, if you would like to do so!

I finished my quilt front on Xmas Day morning. I had been meant to go and see the family, but my brother and sister in law were really ill, so we decided I should go on Boxing Day instead. Which is what I did.
So Xmas Day, I finished my quilt front, then mooched about the house doing normal things, honestly. I sorted through a bunch of crochet and perle threads of mum's, and consequently felt guilty about it. Especially because the one thing I sorted was a bag in which mum had put various threads and supplies for a sewing project she wanted to do, but never got to. I keep telling myself not to feel bad, because it's not like she can do anything with the things now, but it never quite works.
Then I started an abstract embroidery on some dark brown evenweave with some of the crochet thread. Because I can, and because that one book I've got coming is, in part, about using anything as thread, as long as you have the right base to work with.
I also rewatched Aoife's stream of A Short Hike, which she did back at the beginning of the year. I forgot that a certain part of it would make me cry (and then I listened to the soundtrack, and the associated track made me cry before I even realised which one it was). Whoops. But I did enjoy the rest of the game. I think one day I might play it for myself, partly because Aoife didn't do all the sidequests, nor uncover all the dialogue, and I know there's more to it than the basic plot.
And then I did go and visit rellies on Boxing Day, and completely ruined the day for myself by having excessive anxiety over whether I'd locked the front door or not. My anxiety has been out of control lately, but it was the worst it's been in a while then. I mean, I had locked the door, everything was fine, but wheeeehhhhh brains.
I played some Mario Kart with my nephew, and he explained some Fortnite stuff to me (I don't get why that game appeals to him, but it's just not my sort of thing). I (likely) bored my sister in law by bringing her up to date with my health shenanigans. And I came home with more stuff than I brought, as she gave me some food (including leftovers from the meal we had), and also some books that I had completely forgotten I'd ever lent to my brother. So that was nice. They also gave me some money, which I immediately spent most of on a book I wanted (not the sashiko one, though, that's still waiting for my birthday, because I went and got it from the library again).
It was an okay day, except for the excessive anxiety.

I don't think I have anything else to add, and my stomach is yelling at me that we're hungry, so I guess I should go and get some food!
