I was reading Penny's blog post just now...
...about hibernating critters...
...and how us humans behave a bit differently at this time of year...
Well, I suppose I am inclined to stay a-bed for a little while longer in the mornings...
...but what I've noticed for quite some years now...
...is that as soon as I feel winter coming in...
...I want to stitch red!
I have two pieces on the go at the minute...
...the larger one is a chart by Black Phoebe Designs...
...called "World Tree".
I couldn't resist it! :-)
The smaller one is based on a piece of Slovakian embroidery...
...and also has stags on, but more stylized.
I don't know what exactly it is about this red cross-stitching thingy...
...but it makes me feel all comfy, cosy and contented.
Hope you can find something that makes you feel the same...
