Advent Calendar

Last week during one of my daily craft blog surf's, I saw this post from Homemade By Jill about a darling felt advent calendar. I went to the blog she had referenced, and instantly fell in love with THIS idea. I put it in my Tutorials to Try link list, hoping that I'd have time to do it before December.

Well, seems like this week I've had nothing BUT time! So I got busy on it. I'm not done yet, but here is a little sneak peak on what I've accomplished so far.




I am too impatient to do all of the intricate hand stitching that was done in the original, so I have just been using regular old craft glue to keep it together. It's not nearly as cute as hers, but it gets the job done. I may have to stitch the pockets on, though, because for some reason the glue is not doing it's job there.

Well, I'm still plugging away at it, so stay tuned for the big reveal!
