My Advent Stitchy Box So Far

While I was at the Simply Stitching retreat sponsored by Pastime Pieces back in October, I purchased Marlene's curated Advent Stitchy Box. Because I was going to be away at the beginning of December, I entrusted it to Barb to open each day's treat. She then sent me a photo of what was contained in each envelope for the 9 days I was away (more about my trip later).

Day 1 - Mitten-shaped floss drops

Day 2 - Hand-dyed floss - CC Old Blue Jeans

Day 3 - A cozy cross-stitch pattern

Day 4 - hand-dyed floss for the pattern from Day 3

Day 5 - a cozy pair of socks

Day 6 - a pack of #26 Pony tapestry needles with painted white eyes.

Day 7 - the three DMC floss colours to complete the pattern from Day 3 and the backing fabric for the project.

Day 8 - a wooden box with matches and a striker

Day 9 - the pattern and perforated paper that goes with Day 8's box.

Day 10 - A scented soy wax candle - I opened it at Barb's when I dropped in to pick up the box.

Day 11 - A wee bottle of Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue

13 more to go!

Marlene has really done a good job making up these boxes. I've seen some others and this one definitely is right up there with the best ones.
