Last week was my advent bunting, I wanted something this year. My friend was selling some fabric scraps and they were just what I needed. I made 7 pockets and added names to both and then attached it to ribbon. Can't wait to use it. Will add chocolate, candy canes and little toys. I also have some little pegs that I need to add numbers to so I can swap them about for caleb to find the correct day.
My next make was santas magic key. I crocheted santas key and made it up as I went along. I added a loop of ribbon so it can hang on the door and some ribbon to tie the key on. This took about a week as I did a bit then left it.
My last make is a elf on a shelf :-).
I had seen a few of my friends add these to their Pinterest pages and thought I'd give it a go. I started off with a blank doll and just added bits to it. I plan on putting it into a box that is pretty with a letter to caleb. The idea is it will make them believe the elf has been sent to keep an eye on them and that santa is listening . Sounds a bit harsh but. Think caleb will like the fun of it and I will hide it each day and make it into a game. I will wrap it up and address it caleb so make it realistic that santa has sent him.
I have one more on going and this is a Christmas Eve box. In it will be a film, book, new mug with hot chocolate , santas key, chocolate coins , christmas socks and pjs . I will try and do this each year to make it special :-) .
Hope you like .
