Getting Ready for St. Nicholas

Things are getting busy over here as we prepare for the first big feast of the month - St. Nicholas Day. The jolly old bishop will be making his visits this coming Tuesday, and his helper  Black Peter will be sneaking around on Monday to prepare his way. Everyone is on their P's and Q's around here (well, almost everyone) because who wants to get a stick from Black Peter when they could get candy instead! Today we started making new shoes for St. Nicholas to fill, since the old ones were - well old - and some were lost. This year we are making them big and better than the original!!


During the week we went to Michael's and everyone picked out their felt.


Here's the soles of Mopsy's shoes.


Here's the top.



The finishing touches are being added.



The start of FBR's shoe.





Jemima Puddleduck and Thomasina Tittlemouse sewing their shoes together. Thomasina is sporting the latest in men's reading glasses. The collection is called "Borrowed from Dad".

Stay tuned for the completed project and more St. Nicholas festivities.
