Mrs Claus and da boyz

So here we are, a couple of snowmen of the type featured in the film (although not quite fat enough) and a Santa who turned out to be a lady. Hi Saint Nicola!

I didn't attempt the snow dog - the snowmen took so long that giving them a dog to cuddle would have meant no other felty people got made, and I think variety is probably more important. Anyway, Santa probably doesn't like dogs - I expect he gets a hard time from them just like the postie does.

Talking of variety - this angel is definitely wearing her party frock, isn't she? The Lady GaGa of the woolly world. Her dress is a nice multicoloured wool from the lovely people at Colinette. They used to just do fabulously dyed spun yarns and ribbon yarns, but now you can get a hank of unspun stuff as well - all ready for you to stab or otherwise mistreat (for purposes of felting it you understand). Any of you yarn junkies out there - I urge you to look out for their wares.
