Caroler or Matryoshka?

October 12, 2009

Caroler

Here is a little something I am working on for the holidays.  I have always liked those carolers with the O faces.  Hopefully you know the ones I am talking about!  I had some experience with caroling with my family on Christmas Eve's in South Florida growing up.  When I think back I am shocked that our family did that- at least it was in my uncle's neighborhood and we didn't know anybody.  HAHA!  We are not exactly singing group type of people.  Not that there is anything wrong with that- we just aren't blessed with singing talents!  Since I know you are reading MOM, we'll have to talk about that whole episode sometime soon.   So here is my attempt at a caroler.  She is reminiscent of a matryoshka but much more plain.  Cute I think.  My kids love her b/c they can throw her around by the pom pom and she lands back upright almost every time.  I loaded her bottom with beans from the cupboard!  I am thinking I will post a tutorial for her next time and sell her in the gingercake shop since she may get lost in the ginia18 shop.
