When In Doubt.... Dots!

Another project stitched and off to the finisher. This is the large version of my santa with stars ornament. I knew I wanted him to be a stand up Christmas present type of box but that's really all I knew.

I also knew I wanted to stitch him differently than the ornament. So, after months of brain gridlock he is finally finished. He was all stitched and ready to go when I thought he needed something. Something silly. Something that would add - yes more color. Never enough color in my world. I apparently don't do subdued well.

So, the question was what to add? I could add button stars and that would be okay but no, it had to be more whimsical. I have these great pink and yellow sequins in a variety of sizes. They were perfect! Now its snowing dots on santa. How cool is that?



Somehow, I think dots are the answer to everything. :-) Happy Stitching.

  • I agree with you about dots. Somehow I can never make a card (my new crafting passion) with using dotted paper somewhere on it, usually combined with stripes. Love this brightly colored Santa!

  • Sheesh, apparently I can't type today. That should be "without" not "with" ...
