Oopsie..Santa got caught by Li'l Miss LuLu

Merry Christmas A B C 

A is for Apple that

B is for Bells that

chime out in glee

C is for Candy to

please boys and girls

Please Li'l LuLu fall back to sleep...for I still have more promises to keep. Yes...you caught me, I know and that's why I'm still here but after this story it's your bedtime my dear. Now listen and shhhhh and go back to sleep and in the morning all the gifts you can keep.

Poor Santa.....finally after all these years he was caught coming down the chimney by a small and tiny 3 year old that goes by the name of LuLu. She meant no harm but she just had to see the jolly olde elf himself for her to "BELIEVE". Ohhhh and she does believe now and always will for this will be a wonderful memory taken throughout the years. 

Thank goodness Santa had a new book for LuLu in his magical bag. He loves reading himself and loves to encourage children at an early age to learn how important reading can be. Now LuLu can learn her ABC's before next Christmas and Santa can bring her more storybooks...hopefully though he won't be the one reading them to her. He has to admit that this big old chair sure is comfy and being able to put his feet up, well that's a treat on this busiest of nights. Next year LuLu might have to be his last stop just so he can read to her again.

It seems that it took F O R E V E R to finish this piece but I have to admit that a good bit of work went into designing and making it. Making the PawPaw chair, quilting the tiny blanket, making the ottoman, Li'l Miss LuLu and Santa. Like I said....a good bit of work!! I'm going to be putting this one in my Etsy shop and if you are interested in adopting Santa and LuLu AND do it by Friday the 7th then you can get FREE shipping.

Just use the code CHAZMAN and shipping will be free. My thank you for becoming one of my collector's!!

(thinking positive for YOU...I do actually have a few that have purchased several of my pieces)

So....it's on to the next Santa. Santa and the antique toys. Please come back to visit to see some WIP photos as I work on this piece. I love when YOU visit and LOVE when you let me know that you have.

Until next time..........HUGS,

Li'l Miss LuLu is patiently waiting....

I am currently working on a piece called Santa and Li'l Miss LuLu. I have Santa wrapped up in his long johns and I am going to dress him as soon as I get finished with this post. Well...I might work on the sofa that goes with this piece AND then work on Santa's outfit. Ya never know....^_^

I do have LuLu, the little toddler, finished and wanted to share her with you. She turned out adorable. It seems that one of my favorite Christmas movies made a big impression on this little gal. Remember Ralphie in The Christmas Story and those dang, cute bunny pj's? Yeepers, LuLu is wearing bunny jammies.

Completely ADORABLE, ri iight? I told ya!! LuLu herself stands right at 5 1/2 inches but her bunny ears makes her 7 inches.

Here she is sitting down, patiently waiting for Santa to come down the chimney. Look....I even put feeties in her jammies. Hmmmmm, wonder if I could make me some bunny pj's with feeties? Oh.....sorry, did I type that out loud..hehe

LuLu even has a bunny tail. I mean what cute little bunny wouldn't have one? She is going to be sitting in Santa's lap so you won't be able to see her cute little tail (on her jammies people) but I had to add it....I know and now YOU know it's there.

Side view

Now, won't Santa be sooo surprised when he comes down the chimney and sees this cute little face staring at him.

Now....back to working on Santa, noooo the sofa, noooo Santa...ok, perhaps both!!! ^_^  Until next time,

Hugs,

OMGOSH...look what my muse is making me do!!

My muse is keeping me jumping with all the Santa ideas she is throwing at me but that's a good thing. I'm on a roll and loving it!! Here are some WIP photos of my newest Santa and Li'l Miss LuLu.

Santa, of course!!

Li'l Miss LuLu

Here's some WIP photos of some antique toys and a tricycle that will go with another Santa piece after I finish with Santa and Li'l Miss LuLu.

Ya might not be able to figure out what these are until I finish putting them together and they are painted. The little box with the A on front is a "Elf in a Box". Directly behind her are pull toys....elephant and tiger. Can't imagine where I got that idea from...hehe  (ALABAMA and auburn perhaps)  The larger piece on the front is a tricycle. I hope it turns out once I get it painted and detailed because it took several hours to get it put together. ^_^

Until next time..........Hugs,

Regi
