Knotted Autumn Leaves

 There certainly are a lot of buttonhole stitch variations out there!  Week 39 of TAST was the Knotted Buttonhole and since all the leaves here are turning colour and falling I thought that stitching a couple of autumn leaves was appropriate. It's a very easy variation of the regular buttonhole stitch and Sharon's written instructions and pictures were great.
 We went for a fall photo jaunt to the marsh at Buffalo Pound Lake.  Stopped along the way at this wonderful old barn which thankfully wasn't posted with a no trespassing sign.  We are always on the lookout for old buildings to see if we can spot any owls.  HubbyWubby took a wonderful picture of a Great Horned Owl perched inside but it flew away just when I got there.  Took this picture of the barn though!!
 Reeds at the marsh.  We haven't had any rain for a good month now so the water is low.
 Seeing a flock of about 50 Trumpeter Swans at the marsh was thrilling and definitely memorable.  They certainly were loud too!

    Love the swans and the marsh, and of course your buttonhole leaves too! I'm so far behind now on TAST, I don't know if I'll ever catch up. I seem to have lost my stitching Mojo...
