So it's crunch time! I'm getting the pockets embroidered right now for the ornaments to live in before their time comes... phew. slowly but surely...

14.5 down, 9.5 to go!

Tune in next week for a post on the whole shebang.
I'm pretty excited about getting the calendar portion together.
Let's just hope it's finished by December 1st!

  1. Meg, these are so great! I am beginning our own Jesse Tree ornaments this week. I know I'm behind with my timing, but I still have to decide whether we're going to do them with Advent or just start with December 1st and do the O Antiphons like you are doing. Great work!

  2. Thanks, Amanda! I chose to begin on December 1st for two reasons. One, it meant I could use the same ornaments in the same order, on the same days each year. Two (and I'm not going to pretend less important), it gave me more time to complete the project this year! Still have to get the whole thing together... hoping, of course, to have it finished by the 1st. :)
