I saw E.T. the Extra Terrestrial on Mark and Erika’s tree.
He’s a crocheted finger puppet from when my kids were young.
I have a fondness for this creature. Sewed a Halloween Costume in the 80’s and posed with a wax likeness out the Wax Museum on my recent Berlin trip.

Halloween Costume 1983 Mark and Matthew in Grafenwoehr Germany
there’s a post of E.T. In Zagreb last Spring
The finger puppet has weathered the years. ET was a special character.
This is great, Ruth! Lots of happy memories! I love ornaments that have special meaning.
I’ve always loved E.T. He was such a sweet, innocent little alien.
Such wonderful photos- you practice what you suggest- Say, “yoga”.
I have mentioned this on this blog before, but my mom made the same ET Halloween costume for me when I was about 10 years old – and it was my absolute FAVORITE!
I am going to look and see if I still have that pattern. I wonder if we sewed it the same year. About 1983-84
She would have sewed it around that time…
