You are probably thinking about putting away your Christmas decorations or maybe you already have.

Santa finally made it here. A smidge late for the holiday but well worth the wait. I guess he had a little trouble…no chimney to slide down. 🙂

This is Melissa Shirley’s Peppermint Stick 2 sided santa stitched and beaded and embellished by me! He is great fun to stitch. There’s lots of detail and lots of sparkle. You know I love sparkle. I of course documented everything and a stitch guide will be available through Melissa Shirley and shops that carry her designs.

How could you resist this Santa? He needs to stay out and visit just a little longer.
