I finally bit the bullet yesterday and bought some buttons to truly complete my finished objects. I hate sewing things up, so I’ve only done one item so far, 2 more to go.
This yarn is from Starfish, she was my pal in the Favourite Colour swap I did in the middle of the year. I found the perfect button to match, please don’t look too closely at the seaming at the shoulder.
Most major intersections in our area have people who brave the traffic to sell items. I love driving through and seeing what they have. Items for sale range from beautiful roses, cases of fruit, whips made from recycled tires, hats, bags, sunglasses, and mobile phone chargers. But my favourite stuff is the craft. They sell a variety of beaded items and I’m getting a nice collection of flowers in my office, they also have tractors made out of wood and tin which I have my eye on.
I bought my Christmas tree on Sunday, from a guy on the side of the road.
It sits on a box in the corner of our living room, with presents underneath. It’s not very big, but I like it a lot. 
All of the decorations are wired on, the craftspersonship is superb, and I smile every time I look at it.
That button is just right. I think your sweater looks great!
A lot of work went into your Christmas tree. It’s very nice. Do vendors come up to the cars to sell items or are they set up on the side of the road? It must be hard for traffic to get through.
Love the tree… easy to water…doesn’t shed needles…what more could you ask for?
Your sweater came out great! I don’t like sewing things up either.
Beautiful tree.
That button matches your sweater perfectly. And don’t worry about the finishing on your sweater. Practice makes perfect so once you do it a couple more times you’ll be finishing like a pro!
That’s funny, they do that here in Colombia too! Right now everyone seems to be selling christmas things – wrapping paper, gift tags, little santas, but you can also get fruit and cell phone accessories. They come right up to the cars!
And your seaming is fine, looks worse to you because it’s your work!
What a lovely Christmas tree and well done on a FINISH. That sweater looks gorgeous. Happy Christmas to you and Gorgeous Man.
I love the Christmas tree and the sweater.
Good to hear that you were able to finish the curtains.
What a great Christmas tree. Glad teh concert went well and that you finished up the curtains. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
That beaded tree is wonderful, as is your fabulous sweater!
That Christmas tree is absolutely adorable and the sweater is awesome. Nice work!
The sweater is so beautiful…I love the color of the yarn. And what a fun little tree. I grew up in Taiwan and we always bought stuff on the side of the road. Kind of miss that!
That may be the cutest darn christmas tree I’ve ever seen!
