Last night I hauled my husband off the couch when I got home from the studio to put up these blasted Christmas Advent Stockings that I have been working on FOREVER. See a post in July here and another in November here.
Unfortunately I did not plan this project very well - I ran out of space cross stitching the numbers on, I ran out of ribbon, now I have ran out of fabric and missing 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13!!!
So some are finished off without love and in mismatched I-thought-I-found-the-right- fabric from a op shop - oh well.
The kids loved them this morning and they are an excellent bribe to get pesty children off to sleep.
Here is a link to other advent making ideas for kids - much less elaborate than mine.

Best not to follow any of my advice.
Ps did you spy my Italian oven just sitting there - hoping that I may be cooking in this for Christmas lunch - my first attempt at a Pav.

My oven is broken at the moment and I would love an oven like that! I think the stockings look gorgeous!
