My embroidered advent calendar for 2024 – Day 3
Day 3 of my advent calender 🙂
My embroidered advent calendar for 2024 – Day 2
Have a great start to the week with number 2 of my advent calendar ❤
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. ❤
Advent, the 4th candle is lit
Is today really already the 4th Advent and in a few days Christmas?
I had so much planned, all the things I wanted to do. But then unfortunately a nasty cold came in between. Fortunately, the C-test is negative.
Last year a cold was just that. A cold. This year I’ve already had 4 tests and each time the wait with : do I have it or not?
Actually, I wanted to make a new picture with my Advent wreath and candles every Sunday. As I said, the stupid cold came in between. But today at least the wreath with 4 glowing candles 🙂
Last year I had Hanna knit me beautiful sweaters, because when I knit myself, it just doesn’t look nice and even. She even embroidered maritime motifs on my last sweater.

That gave me the idea to have something made for the Christmas season. An embroidered Advent calendar.
Even if I can not embroider myself, I love the designs of V. Enginger. They are so cute and retro. I even have some of her books.
Hanna and I picked some designs for my Advent calendar from the books.
I waited almost a year for it. First, because there are quite a few parts and second, because Christmas was soooo far away. 😀
What do you say? Aren’t they just adorable?
Originally I wanted to make little bags out of all the embroidery. But when I picked up all the pieces, I noticed that some motifs are very large.
When I sew a little bag from it, you can no longer see the motif completely.
I’ll have to figure out the best way to do that. Maybe sew little bags and then sew the motif on the fabric.
Could look interesting, depending on what color the fabric has. Maybe red or green or even tartan I can imagine.
Stay healthy and safe ❤ ❤ ❤
Oh man, it is already the first Advent
This year so much has happened in the world, but at the same time so little in my life.
This stupid virus has turned my life upside down.
I miss the fact that I can’t date anymore, that I can only talk to friends on the phone, or that you can’t hug them anymore when you see them (6 feet apart of course).
After spring I hoped it would be over soon, I even gave up my vacation on my beach, just to see that the numbers are rising again.
Today is the 1st Advent.
For me this time is very important because my family has always done a lot together from the 1st Advent to Christmas: baking cookies with mom, making presents for family and friends, singing Christmas carols together, going to the Christmas decorated church. During the Advent season, our home always smelled heavenly of cookies and fir branches, which my mother had in many vases.
Knowing that the situation will certainly not improve this year makes me a little depressed today.
I haven’t sewn anything for ages. My sewing class closed again 2 months or so ago because of Corona.
But slowly I have to start with the gifts I have planned. I won’t be able to deliver the gifts myself this year, but there is still the post office, so I can send the presents.
Stay safe all of you ❤ ❤ ❤
December 21st – My Advent calendar
이때에 가이사 아구스도가 영을 내려 천하로 다 호적하라 하였으니
Today the Christmas Gospel in Korean.
Today I wanted to show something I had made myself, I had painted it, finished it, and now I wanted to put it on the table.
My disappointment was great because it didn’t look as I had planned. I have to do it again and change it.
Therefore today only the cars which would have been part of the project.
December 5th – My advent calendar
Aconteció en aquellos días que se promulgó un edicto de parte de Augusto
César, que todo el mundo fuera empadronado
Today I’m coming with Spanish.
December 4th – My advent calendar
In quel tempo uscì un decreto da parte di Cesare Augusto, che ordinava il censimento
di tutto l’impero
Today the christmas gospel in italian. The language whose country was part of the Roman Empire. The land that Emperor Augustus served. And the language so similar to Latain.
I’ve just seen that I forgot to put a candle in the car while taking a photo.
Maybe because I was looking for this car for so long and now I don’t want to light a candle there so that nothing can happen to the porcelain 🙂
December 3rd – My advent calendar
En ce temps-là, l’empereur Auguste donna l’ordre de recenser tous les habitants de l’empire romain.
I searched the Internet for the Gospel of Christmas in Aramaic. The language Jesus used.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything. Therefore today the beginning of the Christmas Gospel in French
