Knit some small christmas booties to hang on your tree – fill with treats for an added surprise.
Knit these traditional bauble shaped ornaments. They won’t break when you drop them!
knit these ‘Smitten’ holiday garland mittens – a bit late for advent this year – but would still look great filled with treasures and hung on your tree.
Knit your christmas tree star this year
Knit some pine tree sachets this year – hang them on your tree for that fresh from the forest smell.

Its the 2nd of December and the kids have realised there is no advent calendar what should I do? A quick bit of research turned up these ideas – will be whipping up something later tonight.
I love this one from the long thread - but with all that embroidery its not a rush job project.
These knitted wee hats might have to be started for next advent.
These paper booties from delia are a possibility.
From Shim and sons – this one is lovely and simple – might be good for a last minute project.
This advent from between the lines is right up my alley. strips of white paper sewn together – perfecto!
Punch out window calendar – I love this idea – but not a quick fix I am afraid – maybe if the kids are prepared to wait an extra day or two?
Allsorts felt pocket calendar is very cute – maybe next year?
Chalkboard advent calendars tags – cute idea.
Buckets – this is a wild idea.
Felt advent calendar from the purl bee – so pretty.
Little paper cones - I love this idea too
Maya’s little houses countdown calendar is pretty awesome.
Martha’s matchbox countdown is a worthy contender.
Dee’s little boxes are cute – but might have to wait till next time.
I like this calendar tree from Paige – looks simple enough – but cute too.

These caroling dolls make a cute decoration for the holidays or a toy for your child. I used repurposed materials that give the carolers that vintage feel. This decoration can be kept up all winter!
