He's Ready!!!

here is my little guy ~

Chimney Soot Santa

 

I love how this quick little stitch turned out!

~  SOOOOO Old looking!!!

 I added a few 'extra touches' to the finish of this little pipe-smoking Santa ~

I used my PENCIL to create the pipe-smoke {drawn directly on the linen}
then DOUBLE-STITCHED his mustache for dimension 

{meaning: I stitched it once, then stitched over it again!}
and used Wool & Metallic threads for added effect, 

plus I added size # 11 Delica seed beads for snow and berries on the twig tree ~

finally I stuffed it with our own Organic Sawdust {available in our etsy shop}

 and added the beautiful tiny rick-rack trim from Lady Dot Creates!
