Surrounded by Trees

Before Christmas Jude wrote and videoed about her stitched Christmas pieces.  
I thought I might be able to make some in time for gifts as well....silly me!
It's January and I've barely got started.

When trees are involved, I can never resist.  
You might notice a hint of a few dangling roots.....

Simply had to cut into a brand new scarf to include some spirals....

Some trees are sparkling Christmas trees, others are boldly striped.....
but as is my wont, the brown ones are my favourite.

    I was a late starter too, but loving the trees, epsecially your forest (I love your brown ones too).
    The dangly bits look great. I like that suggestion of roots.

    There will have to be rocks somewhere too, oh and perhaps some water.

    Penny, you're the best! My favourite is the striped one!! Of course, the aqua and brown colour scheme is yummy as well. Yes, do add a bit of water and rocks, but keep the trees standing tall and proud. As if you wouldn't!!!! Giggle!

    i want to wander lost in that forest for a spell. i wouldn't go too far. just deep enough to enjoy the solitude and the loving embrace of so many lovely trees...

    back to stitching on my own trees, though...

    Penny I have been visitin via Katie's side bar for awhile.

    Your trees invoke childhood memories of winter conifers. Colors of the hour before dark.
    Thankyou
