Advent Calendar!!

It's done!!
I am finally done with my Advent Calendar and seriously- just in the nick of time!
I sewed my last ornament last night and couldn't be happier with how it turned out!!

Ornaments

Here are a couple of my favs
Soldier
Angel (inspired by an angel ornament we had on our tree growing up)

Ok I really love them all



 I had a hard time making my ornaments small so if there is a next time making one of these- I will make my tree a bit bigger- but overall- it works!!
It took A LOT of time and work, but I am so glad I did it and think it will make many fun Christmas memories for my children!
Thanks again Jill for the great idea!!

  2. I love it!! I have a felt nativity advent I made our first Christmas married and this is making me wish I had sewn it instead of just used glue like my mom did...

  3. That Tin Soldier is awesome! I might have to steal that and swap out one of my less favorites of mine. . .
