SO! Our television has been a pain in the butt the past few months. It’s only 4 years old and is one of dem fancy LCD thingamabobs. Alas. There must be some crossed wires or loose….thingies inside. It WORKS, but sometimes it takes a lot of switch-pushing for it to come on. It’s like it doesn’t want to make a power connection? ANYWAY. It’s been out for about two days, now and you sure can tell. I finished up a custom order zippidy-doo fast and started in on decking these mighty halls.
I don’t know what’s up with all the adjectives and adverbs I’m throwing in, tonight, but I’m just gonna keep on keepin’ on…
My son went back to school on Monday after a whole NINE days off. GAH! Since then, I have:
-made about 30 of these
-completed and hung our advent garland
wrapping paper, washi tape, a scallop punch, number stamps, and the cuuutest mini clothespins!
-cleared my craft explosion from the dining room table and transferred it to the breakfast room table
-put up the tree! well, technically, my dad did that. BUT! I strung the lights on it and hung a few ornaments. in time, it’ll all get done.
-snapped a Christmas card photo & settled on a design. (I’m most excited about this one.)
-did some Photoshop cross-stitching. I’m going to call it shop-stitching, from now on. Little X’s where the stitches go.
and what have you done?
Such cute decorations! I love the photoshop stitching.
thank you! I really like doing it. much faster than real cross-stitching.
Here’s what I’m working on…http://flic.kr/p/8WwSPn I’m trying the basket weave for a throw for a friend…
that’s NICE! What a great friend! :)
I like the idea of the advent garland.Keep on keeping on :)
it’s decorative and functional!
I love the “cross stitch” sign!!

thank you! I’m also shop-stitching the “merry christmas” on our cards, this year. :D
thanks for posting this idea! so cute
thanks! I’m glad you like it!
Superb inmforation here, ol’e chap; keep burning the midnight oil.
I finished all my craft fair junk…which felt pretty wonderful.
But I haven’t done anything nearly as fantastic as you have.
that’s a big feat!! I had two local people contact me about them, but it wasn’t enough time to make product. Plus, I’m still a little intimidated by them!
Wow I love your decorations. I have been pretty lazy lately. Tree’s up but that’s about it!
that’s a BIG something! if it weren’t for my dad, I don’t think our tree would be up yet.
I love your advent calendar. I bought one this year because I didn’t think I had time to make something but this would have been a fun easy option. I am definately keeping that in mind for next year.
I was surprised at how quick it was! the wrapping paper had 1″ grid lines on the back, so that was very helpful. the washi tape up the sides was also super easy. I think coming up with ideas of what to put in them took longer than actually making the thing!
Everything is adorable !
thank you!
I’m also one of Alli’s December sponsors, glad to see I’m in such good company!
yes! hello! :)
the advent garland is darling. i have made a wreath, thats about it :)
I’ve yet to make a holiday wreath! I want to make one using the branches we trimmed from our tree.
I *heart* your little ornaments! So darling!
My week has not been incredibly productive, unfortunately. After a rough start to the week I have found myself rather uninterested.
I have a box of Christmas cards that need addressing and notes, so I better hop to it!
I need to finish up my cards, this week….which is almost over! I just want to get it out of the way.
