Advent Calendar
My friend Janet made me this amazing Christmas advent calender. She sewed everything on by hand. I can't even imagine how much time she put into this. But she had a lot of time on her hands after having back surgery, this is just one of the many projects she worked on during her recovery. Each of the little pictures is actually stuffed and 3 dimensional. There are also sequins and beads all over it which make it absolutely dazzling. Instead of putting candy in the pockets, she suggested putting a scripture in each pocket, so all through the month of December, before Christmas, they will have read the entire nativity story. Maybe after they read the scripture I can give them a candy. This is probably the nicest, fanciest thing that a friend has ever made for me. (But of course, members of my family have made me plenty of nice and fancy things. Much thanks!!)

Wow. That is so cool! The detail that went into that is amazing. Janet did a good job, and you are so lucky to have such a heirloom. Wow!
Beautiful! Her work is outstanding. I bet you can't wait until Christmas!
