Before you know it...

Adventpockets1

Remember this? Its the Advent Calendar I made last year, consisting of numbered felt "pockets" each holding a square of Ghirardelli peppermint bark chocolate and a paper dangle. Each day you would eat the chocolate and hang the dangle from the button, so you could see how close you were getting to the big day!

After a flurry of requests for a pattern, I am happy to oblige. This required pulling out the first of the boxes of Christmas decorations a bit early, but since I'm already in that frame of mind, so be it. Anyhoo, here ya go...
