A Christmas project


Here is another completed project as further proof that I really haven't been idle!



I had a special request to create an
advent calendar for #1 grandson

This was created using a pre-printed panel.  

Today your quote is from Frank Outlaw....

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

    Thanks for the tips.
    Yes, the quote is a reminder, it's easy to get careless.

  6. I love Christmas advent calendars. My mother always made them for us girls..no boys in my family. A panel would make it easy to embellish. Marisol Mouse is too adorable but I can't knit a pattern...only simple scarves and such. Great quote that we all should put to use.

    I LOVE that quilt! Are those pockets? They have to be pockets - it would not make sense for them to open. This is a beautiful idea - thanks for sharing that.

  11. This is amazing! I made advent calendars for all of our littles a few years ago. I thought it was quite a project but nothing as elaborate as yours. Beautiful!
