It's that time of year................

 

to bring home the perfect tree for Christmas!

I cross stitched this in early September as an  early finish before the holidays. 
 Not from a vintage book, which I usually love to stitch, but this pretty design was very easy and quick to cross stitch and can be found in last year's Dec. 2019 issue of Just Cross Stitch Magazine.

  14 count Lt. blue aida was used for this piece. 
Instead of framing this piece, I decided to use it for 
a wood serving tray.

I just love the old red truck motif that has been gaining in popularity. Such a wistful, cozy feeling to see it! Lovely work.
