He's stitched, and I'm thinking of turning him into a little stand-up. I'd like to have a little group of stand-up Santas to display--maybe even year-round!

Now, back to my BAP!

Santa Update and Something New

I've gotten this far along on the Santa, and very anxious to finish! Doesn't he have the kindest eyes?

I've seen Temari balls around on blogs, and just had to try my hand at making one. I made the ball itself, and the design is coming along quickly.

This week has really felt like Spring, so I've been doing a few chores out in the flower beds. Lots of bending, reaching and stooping and I'm feeling a few muscles that must have gotten out of shape over the winter!!

OOPS! I've done it again!

Started something new, that is! I think I just needed something a bit smaller to work on for a few days. This Santa comes from newly acquired Santa's Great Book. There are so many great designs in this book that I'd love to eventually stitch.
