FINITO!

I've mentioned before that I'm a "project person". Lately I've been a little obsessed with a couple of tedious, time consuming projects.


About a week ago I finished this one: a Christmas advent calendar. It really was a lot of fun.... besides my sewing machine eating it. Seriously! Finally at the very end I borrowed my mom's machine when mine wasn't sewing more than an inch or two at a time without MAJOR problems. I should've done that sooner! Anyway, it's not perfect by any means (so don't look too closely!), but I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

I love how it turned out. I have been thinking of making the same advent calendar (pottery barn kids totally inspired me) but just never started. So good work starting and finishing the project, it looks great!

It's even cuter in person. I couldn't face hanging up my old one after seeing how good yours looks.

This is so cute! I love all of the images for each day. You'll have to teach a class or give us the pattern so we can make ourselves one too!
