Ready to get started on that Advent calendar

This, I guess, can be seen as a sequel to yesterday’s post of Extreme Christmas Enthusiasm and also to this post about how I’m going to make an Advent calendar for my host sisters.

Today, it’s grey outside. And cold. And rainy. And not pretty or autumn-y at all. So with soaked jeans and shoes filled with rain water I walked to the crafts store (yes, the one that already has their Christmas decoration up) right from the bus stop as I got back from uni in Maastricht and bought some of the materials I’m going to need.

I only bought a small amount, just in case I prove too clumsy to even attempt to get started on this whole project. If I actually get something together, I’ll go back and get more felt and stuff.

This is so exciting! I’m gonna go watch last night’s Daily Show while I’m finishing a load of laundry and then I’ll get right on it. Cross your fingers that I don’t end up bleeding or glued to the desk or anything!
