Advent Calendars

Only 35/34 days to go, the difference depends when you read this blog whether Sunday or Monday. I am sure it was only a few days ago that the number of days was 100+ and now where has the time gone. 

For those that read my blog regularly you will know that not much crafting has been done of late as I have been having a big sort of stock and a change of direction, however this weekend I did make 1 advent calendar for an order for a fur babies in our lives,  now my machine has died making an awful noise. This one is for a dog using Christmas dog fabric for the pockets, light bulbs for the main backed with burgundy.


2 events for me this week:
Thursday 24th 7pm to 9.30pm
Pamper Evening
Jolly Farmer
Binsted Lane
Blacknest
Nr alton 
Hampshire

Saturday 26th 10 am to 3.30pm
Christmas Fair
Priorsfield School
Godalming
Surrey

If anyone is in the are please drop by and say hello to Jill (Christmas Pie Crafts) and myself we would love to see you.

So many virtual craft fairs this year, something different but perhaps the new way to go:

CRAFTfest runs the weekend of the 26th and 27th November


&

Handmade with Passion runs from now until end of January

    Love the idea of a doggie advent! What fun. I had a fab school event this week - hope yours are just as good. Love the idea of these online craft fairs - am going to have a browse of them. Thanks for all your links - so much to discover :-)

    Someone looks to be busy :) The advent calendar is really cute! I love the handmade ones so much more than the card with choccies that you get from the supermarkets. These ones you can put what you want in them ;)

    What a cute Advent Calendar! I always wanted to make one of those but never did. With a grandchild on the way, I think I'm going to do one for next year tho.
    You sound so busy. :) I am so behind this Handmade Monday.
