Stitching Wool Pennies...

Since we turned our clocks back,
I'm not sure how much I love that it gets 
dark out at about 5 o'clock !

One thing I am sure about,
is I need something to keep my hands busy,
or I just want to curl up like a cat
and fall asleep (way to early),
on these cold, dark evenings.

I dyed some houndstooth wool last year
in a rich caramel brown.

I need to have this completed by next week.
It will be a tree skirt for a small 
European Christmas Tree.

Have a lovely weekend my friends !
