It's January 7th, so if you're like me...

and you start today, you might have time to finish this set before Christmas, 2012. ;)

I haven't been posting as much "fluff" lately on the blog, so it completely slipped my mind that although I put this on facebook, I forgot to put it here. It took me around 3 years of half-hearted effort, and 2 months of deliberate working to complete this sweet, sweet nativity felt set. I bought the pattern at BuggaBugs on Etsy, along with several other felt set patterns that have yet to materialize in our house.

Yes. Yes, I did stitch Joseph's face and beard on upside down.

Shepherd...he's my favorite. :)

And the wise men...

And the "worth it." :)

(If you're interested in purchasing the pattern to make a set, it really isn't that difficult. The instructions are great, and you can totally do this without a sewing machine, although it does help to make the construction stitching go faster.)
