And today is November 30... That means I completed NaBloPoMo!!! I can't believe I found something to say every. single. day! Thanks for reading, and hopefully this will prompt me to continue posting more often... Just maybe not every day!

Our Advent Calendar
I made this Advent calendar just as I was beginning to learn to sew- For some reason I thought sewing all the little pockets on by machine would be really complicated, so it is all hand-stitched! Even around the edges of the tree itself. I embroidered or embellished each little pocket by hand. It's inspired (read: blatantly copied) from the Telluride Advent Calendar from Pottery Barn (pictured here). The girls LOVE it and can't wait to start checking the pockets tomorrow morning (after I iron it a bit and find a sturdier way to hang it)!

Way to go on completing the NaBloPoMo! I love the advent hanging too. I think if I start sewing one now, it just might be ready for next year. =)
ReplyDeleteI love your Advent calendar! How cool to hear it's all hand-stitched. That must be so nice to hang it up to showcase all your work. Those pockets are so adorable. Have fun filling it!
