some vintage cross stitching for a new project

Since my trip to Brittany at the end of the summer, I have been working slowly and patiently on a large cross stitched project, inspired by "la magie de Noel" of Veronique Enginger.

(My Mom bought me the book while I was visiting!)
The author is the designer behind a lot of embroideries by les brodeuses parisiennes, I previously embroidered one of her designs on my beach bag:

You might have seen a few elements of the project on my Instagram, it is taking a while but it is very relaxing  to work on it at night, after a long day at work. Of course it is all read and green, the total opposite of my vision for this Christmas,  as I am dreaming of Champagne Christmas!
So it will not be displayed in the living room, there is always need for some Christmas red in other parts of the house.

I hope to have it finished on time to be the perfect advent calendar, there are still 9 days...

Happy stitching!
