While I did use the Roasted Chestnut and the DMC colors called for in the pattern, I used a different red and green. I just couldn't stitch pine trees in "Desert Mesquite" when I had a perfectly good skein of "Pine" sitting in my stash drawer! And I didn't have "Ruby Slippers" red so I used Buckeye Scarlet. I haven't yet decided whether to finish this as a pillow or a flat ornament, but I do think I will use that pretty plaid fabric in the pic.
I also got around to pillowifying the autumn leaf piece that I didn't manage to finish before Thanksgiving. This is the October Leaves pattern from Vanessa Ann's 1992 "Holidays in Cross-Stitch" book. The finishing fabric was sent to me in an exchange...I had just enough to make this little pillow for the basket of smalls that sits on my kitchen table.
