Count Down to Christmas

Saturday, I delivered a filled 'Wonky' Houses (my name for this pattern) Advent Calendar, to my granddaughter, Gale. Needless to say, most of the gifts didn't fit into the house pockets but that didn't matter. I wrote notes for those and put them in the pockets. A bag full of numbered presents to match the house numbers accompanied the wall hanging. Of course, the gift bag was put in her mom's studio to prevent peeking!!! Gale was very excited.

Count Down To Christmas

Let the countdown begin - TUESDAY! Today, you search, among all the Christmas decorations, for that special piece to hang on December 1st. Well, maybe it's not a quilted piece but a special candle or whatever. In any case, I found a few interesting sites about this with some historical and religious context, as well as fun.

• British Christmas Traditions  / Advent Calendars  (this site has lots of information just click on the links to the left)
• Free Printable Christmas Calendar (this is a cute one) 
• Wikipedia on Advent Calendar
• All Free Christmas Crafts - calendars to make
• Advent Calendars on Pinterest and another HERE
• Christmas Countdown 
• Why Christmas - Traditional 
• Make Your Own
• Sew Main Street  
• Tip Junkie tutorials

Here's my Granddaughter's Wonky Houses Countdown to Christmas!

Several of my readers were working on their own Wonky Houses. I wonder if you ever got them done? My sister, Joan, has been working on one this past week. Maybe she will share it with me when it's done then I'll share it with you.

Enjoy!
