25-Dec-2025 : Final Day of my 12-day Christmas challenge!

 It is Christmas and here is my final creation, for my 12-day Christmas crafting challenge for 2025. Nativity Scene.  I have always wanted to make a nativity scene with just St Joseph, Mary and the Baby Jesus but made of wood and this year, I finally made it.

If you are wondering why I wanted to make a set made of wood? Well, my Christmas nativity is made of fabric and has more characters. It only gets displayed in my living room every Christmas since 2009 after almost 10 months of making the whole set. 

My Christmas tree (also made of fabric) is a quilted wallhanging and is also a result of my creation. 

I do have a non-fabric nativity set in my collection but is made of olive wood which I bought in 2016 when I travelled to Israel. 

But the one I did on my Day 12 of Christmas handmades for Christmas 2025 will be more special because I made it myself. So there you go. ... until the next Christmas.
