Here's the second of my stitched and beaded Santas. This is Father Christmas, one of the Charmed Santa Faces from a Mill Hill kit. I introduced these last week and you can see that post here. Father Christmas is #MHCSF14. I have changed the colors of his hat from the pattern's suggestion of blue and purple. I just couldn't see putting a blue hat on Santa!!I am having fun working on these Santas again this year, knowing that I will have a few of them on MY tree this time around. They are my evening project while "watching" TV. However, the beading is becoming increasingly difficult as Ollie has now discovered that beads are even more fun than threads. Hmmm, gotta come up with a new system that's "cat-proof"...
Next Friday I'll show you San Nicolo.
Piece,
Linda
Love is the light of Christmas.

He's sweet. So are these Santa's in a book or something, or did you say they were in a kit. No, don't tell me. I just don't want to know ... Yet. Maybe for next Christmas.
TicTac containers are great for holding a few beads and easy to dispense from. Ollie my not approve, but they keep things a little more under control.

I bought a watchmaker's tool kit from Lee Valley to store my beads & it works great. Cheap too!
I am liking these santas more & more. I need some for my tree too. Great Work Linda. LB
