So, some crafty updates! I’m wonderfully close to being done with the stole - but there’s no use in taking more pictures yet, so no pics there. I’m about 12 rows from being through with Clue 5, and then it’s on to a single round of Clue 6 and the edging, and I’m all done! I expect another 6-10 days of work… at work. So, by November 7th, I should be darned close to finished, if not already there, except for blocking and such! :) Here’s hoping, anyway.

But here’s something I can give a picture of - it’s my 2006 Advent Calendar! For those of you who don’t know me, I adore advent calendars. Especially ones that are unique in some way, or else give prizes! I picked this up at Quilt With Class last month, and am now getting around to sewing it all up! It’s more work than it looks, but is altogether rather easy. All the little numbered spots will be made into pockets, all ornaments (see all the outside ornaments dangling from the tree - those are finished pockets. The red ones inside the tree are what I have left to do.)

Shouldn’t take me long to do - just have to buckle down and get to it. The pockets are a pain in the ass - I should’ve gone the easy route and pinked all the edges - easier than folding them all in and stitching all the edges down. Ah well. Too late now!
