Switching Gears

I've been doing a lot of art journaling lately, and I love it. But the holiday season is fast approaching, and I'd like to at least fool myself into thinking I'm a little ahead of the game. So today I sewed, working on a couple Santa dolls. I've had this pattern in my stash for awhile, but haven't used it before (Kriss Kringle by On The Edge Designs, copyright 1996).

I even stuck to my Resolution to NOT buy any new fabric. That made it a little tricky to sift through my fabric looking for reds that didn't clash. The colors in this photo aren't quite right, but you get the idea.
