The reason we may not send cards this year...


On a whim I started a project mid-november that I just completed today, mid-december. It's an advent calendar and every square is hand-stitched. It was a lot of fun to work on and I'm thrilled it's finally done and hung in time for, well, half of the month. :-) In the meantime I finally feel ready for Christmas to begin!

Wow! That looks difficult. But the candy canes hanging out of each pocket look good. Mmmm...candy canes.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! If I were to do it again I'd start earlier and probably stitch the squares on to the fabric by hand instead of machine stitching, but I was really out of time. But if I could pull this one off you must know anyone can. Let me know if you give it a go!
