A lot of work... by M. Russell (Texas)  4 Stars
June 17, 2009
but worth it. I was not sure how much work was involved in doing this Christmas countdown calendar when I ordered it. As a new grandmother I bought this to give to my son's family for our granddaughter (and her future siblings) to do during the Christmas holidays. Our three sons enjoyed doing the one we had when they were little (and still like doing it even though all grown now). As of this writing I have finished the calendar part and are making the ornaments now. I have never been much of a hand sewer but I am managing to get everything sewn. Some of the ornaments seem smaller than others. I am probably going to change one aspect of it. The instructions call to hang the ornaments from thread attaching the thread to the inside of the pocket so the same ornament will be with the same pocket. My children enjoyed choosing where they wanted the ornaments on the Nutcracker calendar we had so I am going to try attaching Velcro to the back of the ornaments to see if they stay on the calendar until chosen to go in a pocket.
Just remember this does take time to make. If you are a fast hand sewer it will still take several days to make so don't wait until December to start.

Engaging and Beautiful by L. Hale (D.C. area)  5 Stars
January 18, 2009
I just completed this kit as part of my Personal Progress Award for the LDS church...and WOW did I have a good time with it! Absolutely everything (needles, thread, sequins etc.) was included in the package (so no buying extra stuff--phewf!), and the instructions were so clear that it required little to no previous experience with sewing to complete. It was an engaging and enjoyable activity, and in the end I was left with an absolutely beautiful and amazingly intricate masterpeice to hang on my wall.
Granted, it did take quite a long time to finish: A whole years worth of working on it about 2 hours every Sunday. The wonderful thing was, however, that while it was a lengthly process, I never got bored or considered dropping it for something else. While I had gottten tired of other cross-stich kits and sewing projects I had started on previously, this one kept me interested because the sewing actions were constantly changing. Unlike cross-stitch where you do a lot of repetition of one stitch, I would be sewing on sequins (LOTS and LOTS of sequins...) one minute, connnecting one felt piece with another the next, and all the while seeing project form before my eyes. I definately prefer it to all other types of sewing projects I have attempted thus far.
Lastly, it's actually USEABLE! Where another project would just sit in it's frame on your wall and look pretty, this is interactive and fun for kids! I just know that I'm going to take it with me to college and into my home when I grow up. It has been a really worthwhile experience for me, and I highly recommend it for everyone who's grown bored of other slow-moving repetitious stitchery. Enjoy! :)
