This year I'm starting with the advent calender. For many years my sister and I have been exchanging chocolate filled countdowns to Christmas. In my first year of a consciously handmade Xmas I made her a reusable one out of fabric. Now every year I try and think of something different to fill the little pockets with. She loves anything with a moustache on, so when I spotted a facial hair shaped ice cube tray I knew it would be the perfect tool. I used it to mold some moustache shaped sweet treats and mixed things up by using different types of chocolate and sprinkles. I then wrapped them all individually, ready to be placed into the pockets of her fabric calender.
