Sprite Stitch Board!

This is a fantastic idea - do you actually have a grid with the days of each month on them to go underneath them as well? When I was much, much younger my mom did a cross stitch advent calendar wherein you added a little ornament on each day. My mom was also that one that helped us learn how to play the console games growing up and got hooked herself. She still loves mostly first person shooters (i.e. Call of Duty, etc.) and RPGs. She is currently making her way through the Skyward Sword that we bought her for Xmas. Families that game together, stay together.
