finished
Tuesday, December 23, 2008Well, I finished the advent calendar last weekend. And, am I ever happy. It was a big pain to make them all at once. But once I started, I just couldn't stop. I learned/relearned a few things about myself as I went along.
-I don't like small, fiddly projects. Bring on the sweaters.
-I stink at embroidery. Especially freehand.
-I love a challenge. And can't quit until I reach my goal.
-I don't like busy. Not busy as in moving around, I like that. Busy, as in busy to the eye. I find this very busy. And trust me, with three kids, there are a lot of busy things around me. But for some reason, this is super busy. I had to move it out of the kitchen where I saw it all of the time. So, if you are considering making this, think about that. Scale down the colors. Fewer would be nice. All white---ahhh.
The kids have loved it. In the morning, Libby is the first to get her treat. (I usually filled it with a small chocolate.) Charlie usually always forgets. And, Andrew usually eats his and Charlie's. And then a fight begins. Oh, happy holidays!
