Brown fabrics+some decoration+good mood=
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Today is the last day of autumn... I always devide every season with 3 months ). And tomorrow evening we can start first advent candle. I prepared already sweets for my daugther, left them in every from 24 boxes of "Adventskalender" - maybe somebody knows how to translate this word? And of course Santa, the main figure of Christmas:

This is my favourite chart from Christiane Dahlbeck. They are all magic for me - so simple, but at the same time with a small secret :)

I think you can leave nearly everything as decoration on christmas tree. And for children it's lots of fun :). My doughter is crazy about teddys:

This time with shoes and stockings. His brother is on the way to the Nethelands now, to his new place of living :)

I liked a lot to make these mushrooms. The pattern I found in a very nice german book - "Advent in winterwald".
It's a pity that this autumn I had no time to go to wood and find some...



Ok, something I found. The last picture - is my next plan ))):

We have first snow today! And it's oktober... Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. But with good cloth there is no bad weather, or?

Me too! And I want to unpack my X-mas tree, decorate everything, to leave candles, to make cookies :). Mmmh....)))

I always liked crossstitching, I thing I was 8 years old when my grandma have bought a book with charts for me. I still have it! And then later when I finished school and was in the University, my aunt presented to me a nice chart from Dimensions. Since this time it's my lovely hobby (after Tilda of course) ;). Here are my hearts, all plots are from wonderful books of Christiane Dahlbeck:

Yes... Christmas is coming...Tea time is coming! Shops are getting soooo nice and people start to buy pullowers, handcloves, warm shoes. Let's see how much snow will have this winter in Lindau. My snowmen are already prepared ;)
