Is your Advent wreath / Advent calendar ready yet?

Dear users, dear authors,
Have you already finished your Advent decorations / Advent wreath / Advent calendar, or are you still working on them?

I really stocked up on decorations last year, so everything’s ready there. For the wreath, I’ll probably use fresh materials, and I’ve already taken care of the Advent calendar—I ordered it from Lacritza again, just like last year, and it was great.

I don’t start thinking about my Advent or Christmas decorations until mid-November at the earliest—before then, I just don’t have the headspace or the energy for it. I also have two important birthdays coming up: my younger brother’s on October 18—he’ll be turning 70—and then my dear sister’s on November 13. After that, I’ll slowly start thinking about my Christmas decorations and so on—never before then.
I have plenty of sewn and embroidered items lying around, so there won’t be any shortage of those :-)

Love, Inge

I’ve already been busily gathering Advent decorations outside. I like the natural look. I’ll add some fresh greenery later. There won’t be much fuss. Of course, I’ll hang up my quilts. I already—or only, depending on how you look at it—sewed myself a new garland in March. I didn’t finish it last year.
   There won’t be an Advent calendar. I’d rather use that money to buy something I really need.
However, I’ve made it a point to crochet a snowflake every day and hang it up right away. I didn’t manage to do that last year either. So I’m continuing with that...
I’m currently working on the Christmas gifts.
Warm regards, Marita
