My Advent Challenge - knit a tree a day
and add a little #HandKnitChristmas to our celebrations! 

We were just at a "9 Lessons and Carols" service,
and I loved being able to join in singing the Carols!

Look at that cute striped tree! I need to make more of those!


add lights for a little bit of sparkle!



I think our dining room is going to be
particularly festive this year!

 Special thanks to my Sister who made our table decoration!

 My Blog friend Claire at KnitandPurlGarden has completed her Rowan Nordic Garland.....go visit her blog and say hi!

Not everything in life is pretty and sparkly, but I love to add a little bit of knitting and colour to my life and share it with you! 

 Lackie and Daisy join me in wishing you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

During "the Holiday" I will be starting something new...just because I want to!  You can never have too many WIPs!

 Thank you for visiting Life LackaDaisiCal! 

So until next time, Happy Knitting Everyone!

 Anne :)

      Kristen, thank you! I wish you could pop over too! Your house looks fabulous all decorated for Christmas. Does it make you sad to take it down? It does me.....I think I might leave this Garland up for a while :)
