My Advent calendar

[wiseheart]

What do you think?



There are small treats in the backpacks of the Christmas Elves. The calendar will serve us this year, each Elf individually pinned up on my bedroom wall, and next year I'll give it away to a family with small children. Several of my colleagues have grandchildren, so I can pick one easily.

Wishing you all a quiet time of rest and reflexion before Christmas.

Love it!

Thanks, I quite like them myself, although it's a bit alarming how they've conquered every square inch of available wall in my bedroom. *g*

What a great take on the basic advent calendar.

Thank you, but I can't claim the idea as my own. I found it in the advent special of a DIY and crafts magazine, complete with pattern. Took me the whole summer to make the two full sets, though.

How charming! There's something about the red caps -- the jaunty tilt to the side -- that makes them seem full of good cheer. Best to you and Mum as you begin to count down the days next week!

Thank you. All the best to you and the Beloved, too.

These are fabulous, I love the idea! What kind of treats are you using?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Various sorts of individually wrapped candy and toffee, as the little guys are really, well, little. About the size of a child's palm, or not much larger.

Lovely! And impressive work - there are so many.

48 altogether, as I made a batch for my goddaughter's little son, too.

I think they are adorable. Thanks for sharing the image with us.
