We are celebrating the holiday this weekend since we worked Christmas (the down-side of being nurses).  But it did allow me a little more time to finish shopping and sewing.

I wrote the pattern instructions for my newest Santa as I designed him.  Of course, this means it takes longer to finish the doll.  Here's the final (third) prototype.  The first two will go to my siblings and their spouses.  I'm almost done with the pattern publishing process, but won't release it until a little later in 2008.

He's fabulous. You are very talented. I visited your website and I really like your techniques. Your dolls have a wonderful character about them.

Just wanted to say Hello and tell you how much I enjoy seeing your creations.

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Am looking forward to the pattern release. He's wonderful and charming.
