We also worked on an advent calendar that Mark's Grandma had and given me a copy of. It's a nativity advent and it's way cute! There are 24 tiny figures (Mary, Joseph, Jesus, stars, sheep, wisemen, etc) and a cute backdrop to put one on each day. I don't have a picture of it because I left the original that Elaine and I were copying up in UT and forgot to take a picture before we left... I've had a few different people help me on that one. Danielle painted the figures (I struggle with that stuff - so THANK YOU!). With the fabric has been Meggie, my Mom and now my other Mom. For something I figured I could throw together with just the scraps in my mom's sewing room, this has sure turned into quite the project! Elaine and I were able to make real progress though and were almost done when camping called. Can't ignore the call to camp! There are rules you know :-)

Projects
Mom-in-law and I started a few projects while we were up visiting. One of them is this cross stitch of the Nativity. It's 30 inches high and 60 inches long (that's 5 feet for those who struggle with conversions). I'm certain it will take me YEARS! to finish, but I'm excited to be see the end result!
