Crafts - November 2025

Here's the final mouse of the SAL:

I'm going to stitch next year's calendar, although the subjects aren't as sweet.

Other than that cross stitch has mainly been cards - here's some of them:

   

   



And I completed the Christmas scene:



I've also started another KAL - here are the first four squares - not quite sure what I shall do with them once they're sewn up:

Your winter scene is so pretty! Well done with all the cards.

Good luck with the knit-along. Looks like a varied one.

Lovely work!

How many squares will there be in total? I could see sewing them into cubes, or making a lap blanket that doubles as a fidget toy.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much.

The KAL is for a blanket - with 6 identical squares each week. As I'm only doing one, I'm thinking maybe a cushion.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you!

I think there'll be six or seven - it's really a blanket with 6 of each pattern, but I'm only knitting one of each, but I could make a lap blanket, as I have a few stray squares left around from a while ago.

That sounds like a good idea.

I love the mouse in the first one! And the polar bear looks like he has somewhere to go! ha, ha!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you :) The polar bear, just like The Daughter (whose card it will be) is on the go :D

Adorable mouse for December :D And so many lovely cross stitch projects completed :D

I love the Christmas scene

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I have to admit stitching the sky drove me nuts!

Oooooh! All your November crafts are beautiful! I love the final mouse of the SAL and your Christmas scene! Your other cross stitch projects are wonderful as well. :-)

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with those knitted squares.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I was very pleased with the final mouse SAL.

I too am looking forward to see what I do with the knitted squares :)

The december mouse is delightful, as is the scene with the houses.

And I don't know why, but the animal in the card next to Gioia, the one carrying the Christmas tree, is just totally Mr Badger to me. Fetching a tree for that delectable study of his. And then he'll sit next to it, and read a lot and perhaps have a little nap or two ... just like my Christmas days, actually.

Love Mr Badger.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much.

I'm delighted you like the animal carrying the Christmas tree. Yes, I could see Mr Badger and his tree, reading and relaxing in his study :)
