Well, I'm trying to make the best of this rainy day. Watching a movie (Novitiate, it's fantastic) and working on a cross-stitch project that's a Christmas gift for a friend (she's a grad student who works with octopuses). Trying to decide if I should fill in the center part with the lighter purple or the darker purple--what do y'all think?

(For any real crafters out there, I know my stitches are suuuper messy... but it's only my second cross-stitch project ever and my friend will like it anyway because she's a sweetheart!)
