Crafter's ADD has kicked in again! When I work on a penny rug, it seems as though I always cut too many pennies. I have been putting them in this box in my sewing room for a couple of years and finally decided to get them out and use them up. I think that I am just going to make pillows out of all of these, sometime this winter when I finally finish them. Oh and of course, while I had all the wool out and laying all over my sewing room, I had to cut a new one out also. This is the start of the boys bedspreads.

I managed to finish this the other night and it left here via the post office this afternoon. Wonder where it is going? Worked on this a little bit more... And started yet another one.
