Meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus

Would you believe me if I told you I MADE THESE?! Believe it or not, I did.

I sewed Santa from a kit my Aunt Sandy gave me for Warren. Then I wanted to do a cute Mrs. Claus to match for me, but no such kit exists. So...I improvised and made her from scratch! I drew what I thought her face should look like and traced Santa as a guide for her body. I thought adding the little Mary Jane style shoes made her very feminine. Because her neck is very narrow, I had to start the back of the stocking around the shoulder line and I can't quite reach my hand through to the bottom! Oh well, she is just the right size for something small and sparkly. (Hint, hint, Santa;)
