Slow Stitched Advent Calendar 3 - A Kooky Kinda Christmas

[@sharonb8859]

Oh Tori! You've done a wonderful job on this tree! The pom pom trim and the star are perfect for it, as are the pompoms hiding in the cubby holes.. I have those too- I think just the brights, not the pastels... but I like them and they go perfectly with the colours you've used elsewhere! I loved seeing you, your crafting space ( no need to apologise at all for your 'mess'- it's not a mess- it's creativity within reach and vision!), and your cheering squad/ front row of supporters! I need to especially thank you for being so kind and aware about the louder sounds and using a mat under your work space. I am one of those odd balls that jumps each time the loud sounds happen- even if I have heard them a dozen times before. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated. Again- I will say- and likely will again in the future- I am so thankful for the blessing of finding you and your channel. My heart always fills with gratitude and happiness whenever I watch your videos. I have the pompom trim as well.. that size and some that is miniature to that! I know one day I will find the right project for them! So proud of you for getting it done well before needing to fill it for the First of December!! Hip Hip Hurray!! 🎉🌲

Thank you so much Sharon - your support means the world to me and Im so happy that you are part of the Kooky tribe :) ❤️. I completely understand about the sudden loud noises that can be unsettling xxx.

The Mosaic Star was fascinating …..the Big REVEAL was MAGICAL…..I was hooked from the start but I had to watch You over five sessions as it is our Thanksgiving Holiday with Family and we had a marvelous Thankful Day……

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you Sherry :) so glad you enjoyed watching it ❤️

[@echozines]

OMG I have no words for how absolutely amazing it looks!!

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

I’m so pleased that you like it ❤️

[@Vera-y8m]

The fabric over top and sides with the star really finishes off the whole project. I'm so glad you have added the coloured pompoms to the little triangle gaps because they did look as if they needed something. It has been a lot of work and looks really good. You have worked really hard to get everything done especially at this particular time when days get so hectic. Congratulations!

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you so much Vera! It is now filled with a couple of little chocolates in each drawer and we love looking at it. I really enjoyed the process and now that it’s made I can see that another one will be easier to do :) 🤗

Hello Tori, It was really nice to see you in the flesh for a change 🤗 well not sure I have the right words to say how much I love your finished tree 😍🎄 I have the pompom trim, it's the pefect edging, I was shouting yes to the velcro lol I should imagine your very proud of this one, you've definitely outdone yourself this time 🌈 me thinks ☺️ I want it 😂, I'm so trying not to buy one,,I actually went to a nearby town last week and had it in my hands, and told myself to put it back🤦🏼‍♀️ I won't know what to put in those tiny boxes. Thanks for sharing your journey, your craft room looks like mine, tidy craftrooms have no crafting going on in them 🥰🌈🍄

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

I have so enjoyed this project and so nice of you to watch along :). They have reduced the price of the advent tree base to £10 now so it’s a bargain :). I just have to fill the boxes with our favourite chocolate treats now :) My craft room looks like a robbery scene at the moment 🤣🤗❤️

[@kimtownsend838]

@KoolKookyKreatures I know it was reduced, but I've been decluttering for months and trying so hard not to bring in so much. Haha, robbery ,they must have been to mine too, then 👀😅

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

@kimtownsend838 - I would blame the dog but we don’t have one 🤣🤗❤️

[@kimtownsend838]

@KoolKookyKreatures me neither 😆🐶

[@user-cl7ef5kn9g]

Wow Tori it's amazing if I was you I would date and sign the back of your family heirloom ✨ such a stunning work of art

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

That is an excellent idea - thank you 🤗

[@bethmegansmith4642]

KookKooky ... after you have Mexican lounge . i think your advent tree is very fitting indeed. I just totally love it . I got my 1st scarp bags from Bazzar ....I am going to order more nest year2025. We have a bread maker .my fella make good lovely bread. So sorry you had to wok in the dark . Sounds like you done a great job though xxxx Man Power cuts. We get them in out house a lot .....mini ones and sometime up to over a couple of hours . We chose an electric Range oven hahahahahah . I love your start .I love your colors your Avent tree is Awesomely Amazing xxxxxxx 🥰 😀😀🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you so much Beth! I hope you enjoy your Bazaar packs. They are a lot of fun. Thankfully the power cut didn’t last too long :) xxx

Thank you Jean xx

[@Pooky-Cat]

Woohoo! 😘

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Yay!!! It’s finished. Now to fill with chocolate xx

[@alikatzcreations]

You could drill small holes in the empty cubbies and stuff Christmas lights in from the back side👀

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

If I was confident with power tools then I would do that :). As it’s already painted and decorated I am now loathe to do anything else with it but next time I will certainly look at lighting xx 🤗❤️

[@lesleynitschke4858]

Love it, looks amazing, I've looked for them here but no luck finding anything similar maybe for next year I'll get hubby out with the tools and make me one haha ...good luck there 🤣velcro is a great idea coz you can take it off and roll up for storage for the next Xmas so it won't get damaged. Could you paint the cubbies or get some little weeny Xmas gnomes or Xmas creature that stand and place them in there

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Im sorry that you can’t find a similar tree. I know Amazon have wooden advent boxes that are not exactly the same if that’s any help. I love the Velcro - it solves my problem of storage - the coat can be rolled up and stored in a drawer :). Love the ideas for the cubbies - I will get onto that xx
