Before I post my August "Santa" picture, I just want to say thank you to Kaye for setting up the blog... this is going to be such fun being a part of a blog just for Christmas stitching all year round!! My Christmas Tree will be loving all it's new decorations in December!
Ok... onto my Santa! As I mentioned in my blog title I have stitched an "Aussie" Santa for this month's ornament. I searched my chart and magazine stash for ages trying to find the right one and then all of a sudden I found this one in a pile of designs that I had put aside for filing (one day)....
So here he is.... Aussie Santa and friends!
This design was published in the Cross Stitch Crazy magazine issue #171 and is designed by Jenny Barton. He was part of Jenny's "Santa's of the World" feature in that issue and I just couldn't resist him.
I have stitched him on plastic canvas and backed him with felt which I need to trim and finally finish once the glue has well and truly stuck!
Now I have to start the process all over again to find next month's masterpiece!!
Til then, happy Christmas Stitching!
Hugs xx

Not just a finish but a finish finish! Well done - he looks great.
What a fun Santa! Very Aussie indeed.
Noni, he is so adorable and so Aussie and you are so welcome re setting up the blog - I am so chuffed that everyone is enjoying it so much.
Hahaha , so funny, your little Santa together with his kangaroo friend. I love them both, they are really special.
He's adorable and very Aussie! I love the fact that we can all come together from all over the world and share our love for Xmas in this way; and show some different kinds of Xmas at the same time:)))
Love him! Santa with bare feet and legs is a new one for me. The kangaroo is really cute as well. He's a great finish.
He's adorable! A lovely finish :-)
Great choice! I'll have to find that magazine and check out the other Santas. I know it's got to be in my stash (somewhere).
Thank girls for all your lovely comments on my cute Santa and friends :o)
Hugs xx
