My embroidered advent calendar for 2024 – Day 1

A few years ago I discovered a blog where someone had sewn a beautiful Advent calendar.
I actually wanted to sew it last year, but my sewing machine broke down.
The only store in the area that repairs my brand had so many orders that the machine couldn’t be repaired until this year.

I knew more or less what I wanted my calendar to look like and then looked for embroidery files on the Internet.
And I found them. I wanted to have a different embroidery every day.
But I misjudged the time!!!
I had expected a relaxed 3, maximum 4 days, but it took me 25-30 hours to complete the whole calendar.
It had to be finished on Saturday because I was giving it away. It was therefore very stressful.
The calendar was finished on Saturday night at 1am 😀

Here is day 1

I will post the link to the blog of the calendar on the last day.
So it will be a little surprise when you see the whole thing.
And also write a tutorial on how I sewed it.
Maybe someone will like it as much as I did and want to make this calendar too. ❤

A Relaxing Fall at the Beach

I’ve already written in previous posts that I love the sea. It’s the place where I feel at home, where, when I smell the sea on arrival, I feel happy.

This time we didn’t go there in the summer, but in the fall.
That was perhaps even better. I had a surgery a few weeks ago and had to take it easy. No sport, no overexertion, no swimming. That was forbidden according to the doctor. I don’t know if I would have stuck to it if we’d had the best weather. 😀

We slept in without having to listen to the stupid wake-up call, went for walks and of course spent a lot of time on the beach

I wasn’t allowed to lift much. So, I left my camera equipment at home this time. I took the photos with my mobile.

Discovering Hidden Gems in Fall

I’m not a big fan of fall or winter. My favorite season is summer. But in fall, I like the bright colors of the leaves, the grass, the fall flowers. I didn’t take the photos here with my camera, but with my mobile.

We actually just wanted to go for a walk in the small forest. But then I saw the colors everywhere. And we passed an magical pond. It looked as if no one had been there for years.
Not true, of course. We came across other tourists on our walk 😀 . This pond was like something out of a fairy tale.
