advent calendar
December 3rd, 2007
I actually had this done early–one whole day early, but I’ve been too busy sewing to post. I had a couple different ideas, but spent too much time thinking about them and not actually making them. This is from some old martha stewart magazine and with two little babies in the house we are flush with baby socks (though not all in red and green, so I picked up some second hand ones). I even had some mini clothespins on hand! I picked up a bunch of little vintage ornaments to go in each sock. This is my favorite.
If you don’t have a calendar yet (this is usually the position I am in) I think this is a nice little grown up one you can download and print.
that looks so great! cute ribbon, and cute snowman!
I absolutely love that advent calendar! Such a variety of cute, colorful little socks.
what an adorable idea! that martha really has some fun ideas. i love how you hung them in sort of Christmas tree fashion.
Hee hee, what fun. There is something so incredibly joyful about Advent Calendars.
that is such a brilliant idea, love it : )
What a fabulous idea – it’s absolutely gorgeous!
Brilliant!
oh love it! i have hundreds of baby socks! thanks!!
Wow – what a fantastic idea and even better that you hung them in a gestural tree line! And against the blue? Awesome!
Great blog – can’t wait to hear more!

Hello – I just fund your blog and I am so glad I did. I am enjoying looking at your archives. I love the advent calendar. I was wondering how you put the numbers on the socks.
