InarticulateQuilterI already have enough quilted Advent calendars to keep several chocolate suppliers solvent over the holidays, but I’m going to have to find space for this Support the Claus one anyway. Puns make me so happy 😁
The first #LEGO MOC we've ever done! Of course, it was an #AdventCalendar
Changed the color scheme to fit with our holiday decorations and there was just a slight fit issue with the hinges on the doors, but once in place, they swing freely
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would recommend

KymberlyThe last of the advent calendar from Fortnum and Mason.
Verdict - absolutely not worth it.
Which is why it took so long to force through it.
Half of the tea bags were sealed into the edge of their paper envelopes, with the glue infiltrating the teas’ bags.
And the biscuits … you know those biccy snacks you get in hospital for afternoon tea? Dry, stale, that all taste the same no matter what flavour they are meant to be? That.
The only good ones were the very few big choc covered ones.
But, I now have another advent box I can fill with other stuff. Like floofs of fiber blends for a chaos sock yarn spin next year.

My illustration for the »Weimarer Adventskalender« from 2024. And of course the topic of my illustration is again: Sustainability.
Some years ago I started to learn how to repair my clothes by myself. I own a large collection of woolen socks made by my grandma, each pair is prettier than the other. How could I throw them away, just because they had some holes? So I learned different repearing techniques, and tried around a lot. And I think, that using the buttonhole stitch is a very easy and durable technique to stuff holes in your socks.
Repairing clothes for me is one of the most meditative and satisfying activities. Now in winter I always have holes somewhere in my clothes and I just enjoy sitting on the couch, listening to an audiobook, darning and mending. And I feel a deep satisfaction when I once more have managed to repair an item of clothing and can use it a little longer (a tiny victory against capitalism).
By the way it is also a great activity to do with friends together. Sitting together, chatting and darning is not only for grandmas, my grandma says.
So I hope, with my instruction you’ll soon be able to repair your socks by yourself. And maybe you’ll have as much fun as I do.

Andreas SikkemaYup, The #bonnemaman advent calendar is a solide recommendation. Every day a (very) small jar of jam or similar sweet stuff to spread on bread. Each day a new variety 😋 #AdventCalendar
mem_somervilleThe #AdventCalendar for #lace this year was a quiz about stamps. The answer has been posted now and you can see lace making stamps from around the world.
GiroYay. 🥳
The first Minis for 2026 are finished. 😀

Mistigris computer artsMistodon: @teletextr drew this screen of pealing Christmas bells, 'Ding and Indeed Dong', for last year's Yle #teletext #AdventCalendar, and it was also included in the seasonal new MIST1225 artpack collection.
Mistodon: you may feel your ears burning when someone's talking about you, but the effect is only more pronounced when you're a snowman. This one needs to know who's got the frosty gossip! This screen was drawn by @horsenburger for the Yle #teletext #AdventCalendar two years ago, and it was later included in the seasonal new MIST1225 artpack collection.
Simon WaltersI have finally completed my #TaskMaster #AdventCalendar :-) Took quite a bit of effort and a lot of help from eldest daughter
