Happy weekend / 4th Sunday of Advent: Is everything ready for Christmas?

Dear community,
I wish you a lovely weekend with plenty of time for crafting. Are you finished with your preparations for Christmas?

Dear Joesfa, I hope you have a wonderful fourth Advent weekend, too

No, I’m nowhere near done with all the gifts and preparations. 

I’m working on a pair of felt shoes—but I’m already on the second one. 


Then I still need to spruce up this stocking a bit


The gift certificates are all done


I still need to sew a few bookmarks, but I still have 4 days until the big day

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend with plenty of time for crafts, friends, or even a good book

 

Thanks, Josefa—I wish you and everyone else here a wonderful 4th Sunday of Advent, too.
All the preparations are done, and we can look forward to Christmas with a sense of calm.

Love, Inge

Thank you—I wish the same for all of you!
Yes, I’m pretty much done with everything. Next week I just need to pick up a few fresh items for raclette, then I’ll have everything, and it’s always pretty laid-back out here on the outskirts of town.
Today I’m going to check out the Roman tomb—I live barely 100 meters away from it and have never been inside; that’s just not right.
And the Advent calendar had the final stage of the Mystery Cal—I’ll finish crocheting that today, too. Other than that, I’m still working on a shawl, also from the Advent calendar, and on the side, I’m starting on my first Easter project—you can never start too early. 🤣 I think this is the first time I’ve had three different projects on my needles at once.
And then I happened to stop by the bookstore yesterday… so I’m definitely not going to be bored anytime soon.

I’m in the same boat as Petra—I still have quite a few things in my sewing workshop that need to be finished. If only new ideas didn’t keep popping up. And the gifts aren’t wrapped yet, either. But no rush—we still have a little time left.

I wish everyone a cozy Christmas weekend.
Warm regards, Ina

It’s just the two of us anyway, so our preparations are pretty minimal.
