I’ve been a craft lover for as long as I can remember, always finding joy in making things with my hands. Christmas has always held a special kind of magic for me and my family, and one of our favourite traditions has been opening an advent calendar together each year.

Over time, I found myself wishing for an advent that felt a little slower, a little calmer — something that invited us to pause for a moment each day and make something beautiful, rather than just open another little chocolate.

That wish inspired me to create the Sleepy Dragon Embroidery Advent Calendar. Each day brings a small piece of the puzzle — threads, instructions, and a moment of quiet creativity — until, by Christmas, your very own Sleepy Dragon has come to life.

I hope you’ll follow along with my journey, and maybe even welcome this crafty little dragon into your own festive traditions.
