Finally… it’s completed!

Bearding the Santa dolls by hand has got to be one of the most unpleasant jobs ever.

It’s messy and when I burn myself with the glue gun it really hurts.

But, hooray… that’s behind me. Now most of the costumes are finished for the 2011 collection and I’m attaching hands to the arms of the bodies that have been completed (by my husband incidentally).

Lots more work ahead of me, but psychologically I’ve completed a milestone and there’s no looking back.
