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 started cutting wool pennies...
lots of wool pennies !
I dyed some houndstooth wool last year
in a rich caramel brown.
Can you tell what this will become ?
This will keep my hands busy for
a few nights...
There is something comforting about
Blanket Stitching wool pennies...
I actually like the repetition of it...
Layering the pennies and stitching each one
into place...
Wool Pennies stacked three high...
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 !
Rose
Most darling!!!

I was just thinking of the joy of sitting and stitching pennies. Yours is just beautiful. I love seeing your work.
ReplyDeleteI love this little tree skirt. Looks like your using same color floss for all your pennies? Thanks for sharing your work.
ReplyDeleteterrific tree skirt, I have trouble with the time change every year, I just want to go to bed t 6:00, then I'm up at midnight ready to go! I find the blanket stitch to be a zen practice, very relaxing Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for all those pennies...you give me inspiration. Perfect for a wooly tree. Question...when I do my pennies I always start with sewing the pennies first then adding them to the mat...am I doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving :)

Love the colors - I just started a Christmas project, too. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask if you cut your pennies by hand with scissors or ?
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I like to buy them already cut. However, that limits you. Just wondering. I looks wonderful and it is inspiring, not that I need anymore inspiration. Lost count of all my bucket lists. ;o)
