SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 2 NOVEMBER 2025 CHALLENGE

      Seasonal Greetings and Preparations

Good morning, my crafty friends. This is Kathie from New Zealand, and I am delighted to connect with you this month.  As the holiday season approaches, many of you are busy preparing for Christmas. This exciting time of year is filled with creative energy as you work on making cards, shopping for gifts, crafting your own presents, and planning your menus for the days leading up to Christmas, as well as for the big celebration itself. There is a palpable sense of anticipation as everyone gets ready to make the holiday special for their loved ones. 

A Glimpse Into Our Property

Today, I am delighted to share a couple of photos taken on our very own property, a place where we are truly fortunate to live. One of the highlights of our home is the large pond that I can see from my kitchen window. This pond is surrounded by beautiful trees and shrubs and has a variety of wildlife, creating a picturesque and peaceful view all year-round. We have a bridge that crosses the pond covered with Wisteria, which is in full bloom.  I just wish that it flowered all year.  The Water Lilies will be out soon.  One end of the pond is creamy pink, and the other end is red.  Believe it or not, we only live 1km from the high street shopping centre.

We'll be back on the 19th of November with October's winner and top 3, as well as inspiration from the design team.

Now onto business, we have two new November sketches for you.

 These sketches can also rotate and/or flip, but we should still be able to recognise them.

If you still need more inspiration, we have a sketch from our archives, too.

It's time to see what our design team and our guest designer have created this month for a little inspiration for you.
