Countdown to Christmas – DIY Advent Calendar Adventure – Part 1

Advent calendars make the countdown to Christmas so much fun—24 little moments of joy! This year, I’m making six of them, one for each of my favorite people. They’re going to be cute, festive, and filled with small surprises picked just for them. (The photo below shows one of my very recently finished sets of 24 bags with tags.)

Want to make your own? Watch this video for a look at the basic supplies you’ll need to get started.

In upcoming videos, I’ll share ideas for decorating, fun gift fillers, and tips for pulling it all together. Need more inspiration?

Years ago, most households had several regular magazine subscriptions. They are more rare today, but this magazine is definitely a “keeper” for quilters!

This edition of Better Homes & Gardens American Patchwork & Quilting has multiple projects, including patterns and instructions. Enjoy, LochwoodAcres!

This week, we are giving away Apliquick’s Curved Tip Serrated Snip! These handcrafted 5″ snips feature micro-serrated curved blades for precise thread cutting. The curved handles use spring action for easy operation, and the curved tips easily fit under a presser foot. This came to us “unboxed” but Judy will wrap it carefully for shipping.

This week’s lucky winner, Susan S, will get a Meori 2-cup Reusable Carrier! This portable drink carrier has a very sturdy base and holds large and small drinks firmly in place.

The inner materials of the cup carrier are waterproof PEVA, making all spills easy to wipe clean. Ditch disposable cup carriers and take this when picking up take-out, or taking drinks from home to office, sporting events and outdoor get-togethers.

Click here to see our other meori products and all our great organizers and totes, including yazzii folders and boxes.

Version 1.0.0

The last book in our Great Book Giveaway is extra special – WELCOME TO THE NORTH POLE! This book has been out-of-print for a little over two years. Judy found this last copy when she was doing a stock count of all our books. The random number selector is going to make our winner, Maribeth Smith, very happy!

I updated the instructions with additional photos and added the pattern for Dinner @ Santa’s table runner in the EBook version, WELCOME BACK TO THE NORTH POLE. You can shop for that version by clicking here.
