Advent stocking garland completed! After a late one at the sewing machine last night, then an hour finishing up this afternoon while Audrey danced around my work room to
playground radio, they are all done and installed. I listed the materials used & inspiration for these
here and
here - but they are basically linen and four different colours of felted wool blanket. I only had limited amounts of the felt, so the colours & distribution thereof were dictated by that.
Now the only question is what to put in them. We'll be filling each one the night before since there's a four year old here that won't be able to refrain from checking them all out on December 1. I'll be drawing heavily on the lists of ideas over at
little birds,
Kiddley and
Kid's Craft Weekly. Also, I noticed that Manda has a great list growing on her blog
today (thankyou!), and via that
this great list of ideas, too.
Oh, and since I didn't start this blogging every day business until the 6th day of November, I'm going to carry on for a little while longer into next month.
Happy advent, everyone!
