Impatient Old Coot! - Christmas QAL 2013

Father Ice is proving to be quite an impatient Old Coot! I tried to nap with Ms Cha Cha but the Old Coot! kept calling my name. I tried to ignore the Old Coot! by reading a book. The Old Coot! just got louder. I gave up. With the exception of his staff (I cannot decide on the right fabric) the templates were pressed to the correct fabric and cut out ...
I have sternly told the Old Coot! that unless he wants his backside scorched he might want to wait for another day to get heavily spray starched and pressed. He is none too pleased although his grumbling is quieter than before. The Old Coot! will become Father Ice at a later date.

There are lots of creative people working on this Christmas Challenge & QAL. You can find these folk over at Hazel's. Hazel is our lovely hostess for September.

Cor - you don't muck about once you get going, Donna, do you? Hope those itty bitty Old Coot pieces are hidden well away from naughty paws!
