A Sleigh Of Santas.

Posted on | December 19, 2015 | 16 Comments

For most of this year I have been working on making dozens of these Santas for Christmas Gifts. I belong to  lot of groups and there are quite a few gift exchanges at this time of year. I also wanted some for family, too. This photo probably shows half of the ones I made.

They are made from a pattern by Roxy Creations and are available in download format.

I have made them in several different colourways.

And have tried to decorate each one individually.

I have had a good laugh when they are packaged for posting as you can hear the bells tinkling inside the parcel. I am sure the postie gets used to that at this time of year.

Nearly all have them are gone. I only have a couple left in the house and I do have 2 more to make.

For all those in Victoria and South Australia I wish you all the best for today. We are all having 40 degree temps and nasty winds. Unfortunately perfect bushfire weather.

Stay cool.

Cheers, Karen

    Love them!! A good idea to pick a pattern at the start of the year and chip away at them. Hope the weather cools off a little for a pleasant Christmas day.

  • How cute! I like them. Each one seems to have his own little personality.

    What a fun gathering of Santas! I love how you’ve made them all different and they are such a great idea for gifts. I hope you’re surviving the heat. We got to 40 yesterday ugh! It’ll be a relief to get the cool change this week.

    Those are some fun Santas! I love that you’ve made each one unique. I’m guessing that’s half the fun and keeps the work interesting.

    Good luck with the weather. No one wants such dangerous conditions but especially just before Christmas. Have a wonderful holiday!

  • There is no other word but adorable! I just love them all! I’m sure like you say the posties get used to jingling lol! Take care in the heat xx

  • Suz says:
