I have to admit that these photos were taken in summer but given that Scotland is in a state of perpetual winter, I doubt you would have noticed!

I know what you're thinking, Autumn was a long time ago! Yes it was but I haven't finished my autumn embroidery project yet so let's forget that it's now January. This is the penultimate pattern for the Autumn Stitching Club. I've enjoyed it, but I will be glad to see it finished. I feel like I've been embroidering forever! This week's pattern is a cute little smiley acorn.
I hope your week's been
