Thurs, Dec.20 - Time Does Fly!

This Santa will be the last of my Christmas

projects before the big day.

Fabric, with clay face.

Fabric is gessoed, sanded,

 painted, sanded, crackled,

and sealed with Mod Podge.

I love the leathery feel

 of the fabric after this process.

detail--can't see his bushy white eye brows

Below are a few details I've not shared before.

More of Fee's carved Santas.

And Odie, with a muffler around his neck,

 who has been around for a long time--

since our kids were quite young.

Although I'd hoped to get more 
prim Santas, mice, and sheep 
done before Christmas,
my enthusiasm must have waned
because I found myself reading 
instead of crafting most of the time.

I have about 14 books to be reviewed--

since I have procrastinated on reviewing

for about six weeks or more.

And, although I have finished 

and scheduled several on my book blog,

there are still quite a few left to do.

Bryce Eleanor was here today,
we made butterfly ornaments,
drew fairy houses,
and baked sugar cookies.
