Good Grief

Over the last few weeks, I've seen many crafty bloggers out there posting their new Halloween and Christmas projects. Already?! I felt so far behind, and it's only August. So, after browsing the interwebs for pics of old cartoons I used to watch, I came across this:

...and it hit me - my Christmas project this year will be the Peanuts gang.

After scribbling out a rough pattern, cutting and sewing some felt, after a few hours, Chuck was born.



Going through my stash, I have enough felt to make a Linus next. Then a trip to the store for Lucy, Sally, Snoopy, and whoever is left that I have time for.

Might have to make the tree too. Those store-bought Charlie Brown trees they have every year are about twice the size of the doll, so that won't work. Gotta start brainstorming.
