Felted Santa (skinny one!)


The body and head
added the white fur, a hat, and the face.
You can see his size when compared against my hand
Finished santa, standing on Mr Messyfish's laptop, and against a bag from my favourite material shop in Bowral.


Its July, and COLD outside. Here in the Southern Highlands, there is a tradition where we celebrate "Christmas In July". In accordance with my "Handmade" pledge(see sidebar), I am making a skinny santa from Australian Merino Wool. I  have also ordered some dried fruit(Australian) from my bakery goods supplier with the intention of making some Christmas Puddings. I love Christmas cooking!

I have always wondered where the christmas in July came from. I guess it came from the cold hills of Australia. The santa is very cute. Your new room must be working its magic on you.

I like your skinny Santa - kind of like Santa is dealing with the tough economy too.
