One thing's for sure. It's difficult to maintain the pace on a project like this when you're traveling and your focus is on so much else. I took very little with me, knowing that it was unlikely that I would get to do anything involved, like card-making. So, my primary work was knitting.
I worked on knitted Christmas bells, and on knitting a Christmas gift. A little each day - sometimes in the car, especially on the interstate, sometimes in the hotel room at night as we unwound from the day watching the NCAA tournament. I have the feeling that if I have to take this project on the road again between now and Christmas (and it's likely I will, at least once), knitting will be the way to go.
I did write a haiku as well. Last night, after we got home, before bed. While I think that it's more of a Thanksgiving haiku than Christmas, I think it could be used at either holiday.
the family gathers
the turkey roasts and pies bake
giving thanks for love
As wonderful as vacation is, it's always good to get home, to sleep in my own bed, to cuddle and play with my kitties, to get back into the routine. Perhaps some card-making today ...
