If you like Christmas tree, if you like stitching Christmas tree, you must know Elisa's Christmas tree tradition. Every year she designs a different tree and graciously offers it on her site. 

My favorite one....Christmas tree 2008 I stitched in ...2008 :)

This year's tree or trees...are on Elisa's site : Elisa's Christmas tree

Thank you Elisa for your kindness and generosity.

I decided to start knitting since the cold suddenly appeared. A long long scarf with with textured yarn. It is knitted diagonally.  I am not done yet as I want it long long long....

Work in progress :)

I love this advent calendar. 

I would do it with more Christmas looking papers. But I love the idea!

The tutorial is here

Voila!  

Simple hung by a rustic cord, my pumpkin banner is done.

I made the "pumpkins 5cts" banner 4 years ago. Here

The month of October went by way too quickly. However I find a little time to finish a project I started in September...well it is not quite finished yet as I still have to sew the back. Hopefully it will be done before Thanksgiving.

This is a pattern I bought a couple of years ago and never took the time to complete...I love the result!. Instead of outlining with a blanket stitch I made several drawstring cords of different thickness to outline the design. It gives a lot of structure and contrast. What do you think?
