Advent Calendar Sew Along

I don't know if you've heard, but Jill (from Homemade by Jill) is having a sew along. She will be making an advent calendar for the holidays, using this as her inspiration.

I've decided to join in on the fun.  I have my backing cut out, my pockets stitched and sewn on,  and my tree attached to the base.  I just cut out the first few decorations today.  I'm pretty excited about it.  It'll be nice to have a holiday activity for Clark to participate in.

The tree still needs a skirt, but I'll get to that sooner or later.  I'm not sure what guided my color choices...apparently I didn't feel any need to stick to red and green.
