advent sew-along: week 3


How is your advent calendar coming along?  I am just barely keeping pace with my own assignments (seriously - I finished my ornaments in the wee-est of the wee hours of the morning today).   However, it is very satisfying to have a few ornaments to stuff into those little pockets.


I started my ornaments out with four gifts (I love how it looks like there are presents under the tree on the Inchmark advent), a stocking, the star, a dove, and a baby Jesus, laying in the manger.   The baby Jesus ornament was always my very favorite on the tree growing up.

Ready for some beautiful inspiration?  This is an advent-in-progress by Katie at So Happy.


It seriously makes me want to scrap my advent and start over, copying her step by step.  I love everything about the tree.   Oh, well ... no time to start over now.  Must plug along.

You can also gather some ornament inspiration from Flickr user, Angela Allen.  I like her colors and use of buttons on the ornaments.


 Ready for this week's assignment?
  • Sew on all 24 buttons
  • Make 8 more ornaments
Piece of cake, right?  There is still time to catch up and join the fun!  Don't forget to share your progress in the Homemade by You flickr group.   I want to see more - especially those of you who are doing nativity advents.  :)
