Hi all!
This year I was hoping to stitch all of the 24 designs which make up JBW Designs' Advent Calendar.
And I have! I've now finished the final date, number 24, Santa, not that it's particularly clear being white on white...

Started - 14th August 2020

Total stitching time - 2 hours 15 minutes
... along with an additional simple one for Christmas Day, because there were 25 buttons in the pack and I couldn't leave the last one out!

Each one is supposed to have a special charm, but since they were very specific, and therefore expensive, I bought a variety of teeny ones and added one of them to each day instead. I also added beads to some of them (when I remembered!) for an additional bit of bling.
Here they all are together:
With hindsight, I wish I'd paid more attention to the thread colours and actually looked at them before I started stitching. I would have definitely cut out some of the colours and worked with a much smaller palette, but it's all done and too late now; in fact it was too late after I'd stitched the first half dozen or so!
Once these final two have been FFOd they'll all be ready for hanging on 1st December - yay!
Take care,

Congratulations Rachel!! You did an awesome job on this piece. The charms look great on their square also.
So exciting, they look great! This will really be an exciting December this year for you, such fun!
These are so cute! I love the little tree and the wreath swag but they are all cute.
Good job finishing all of them in time! They are really cute with their little charms.
