Advent!



December 1st! So now I can get out my decorations.  And the Advent Calendar made it by the skin of my teeth. My makeshift day marker (modelling foam painted with gold acrylic) dried just in time.

Another finish for me this weekend is another round on my 1797 Revisited and if I am counting correctly then the next round is the last complete one!


I had nearly enough ultramarine fabric for this round so I have been able to get on with cutting and basting some of these while a batch of fabric dyes. However...

...today is the 1st of the month - BOM day, so decks have been cleared and my box of fabrics found all ready for the off later this afternoon following a visit to a Christmas market.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

  1. Oh well done! Your “buckle” looks really special!
    Lovely that your calendar was finished in time!
    Nice to see another round of 1797!
    It’s chilly but dry and sunny, and we were out for a country walk yesterday, so, yes, it’s a super weekend!
