This is a project I started months and months ago, wandered away from and now have to kick my own butt to get myself going on it again.  Eventually, this will be a set of 24 or 25 finger puppets, numbered somehow and displayed as an Advent calendar.  A coworker/friend of mine loved the idea, so these little guys will be off to live at her house. (They’re very excited about that!)

I purchased a spool rack to use as a stand for the finger puppets, and I have a vague idea of numbered tags since an Advent calendar really comes down to the counting.  Mostly I’m making this up as I go along, and I’d appreciate any ideas as far as animals that might like to join the herd.

If you want to try making an Advent calendar of your own, you might consider joining Craft Apple’s challenge for encouragement and accountability – or just to nab some great ideas.  :)

I’ll post more pictures as this project moves along!
