This was a project I started last year with high hopes and got way too frustrated to finish it. I made two of them (one for me and one for Tessa). After sewing the pockets on I mailed them to Tessa to have her put the numbers on and she ended up have to take all the pockets off to do the numbers! So neither of us ever finished them. I packed mine away in the Christmas stuff and there it was waiting for me this year.
Looking at it with fresh eyes was much better and I finished it up just in time to start using it this year. But you know how you make stuff and you have a vision for it but it doesn't quite look as good a you think? That is how I feel about this, but dang-it I am using it anyway too much work was put into it and the kids think it is tons-o-fun =)
Next time I will just buy one from Pottery Barn...
**I dedicate this post to Heather because she wanted to see it! While her kids are getting a parade every night for their advent calendar mine are getting candy canes--HA HA!

I'll post my advent house/ calendar thingy and I'll list what Im doing for the days...
I want it to be more spiritual but fun.... Help me with that part.
Are you crazy? it is super cute! Good work, but I do know those projects where they look like something in your head and just don't seem to end up that way.
I can see how much work that was! good job for finishing! love it!
It's just beautiful! Love it! Even if I do think you are crazy! Love You :)
You are amazing TAYA!!!!! I wish I could be one tenth of you!
That is really cute! But I totally know how you start doing something and it looks sooo great in your head, then horrible on paper or whatever. Hence, I haven't done a creative project in forever! Ok, and also because 3 kids sucks all the energy out of me. And why am I looking at blogs when I should be paying attention to them?????
You are so crafty! I love it!! Way cute. I need to do something like that...
