..........................♥.............................

did I ever told you, that I just loooooove the Christmas? :-) Today, I watched our short family Christmas videos, when Natalka was 3 years old and Nelinka 7 months old and a year later. Ooooh, they were so sweet. I have to admit I had a tears of happiness in my eyes....

I am looking forward so much for Christmas and I am working at our Christmas decorations.

The pattern of this Christmas tree is ready :-)

I really enjoyed creating these trees. It is funny, that all trees were made under same design, I only use another yarn, different embellishment and every single one looks different and it is unique. I just love it :-)

The pattern of this cute deer appliqué is ready in my patterns store :-)

Some pictures from last month. Colors of the Autumn :-)
