Give Away #4

so.... you remember the IKEA Christmas fabric


I had great fun with it

while desiging Santa puppets


different Santa's from all over the world

came rolling from underneath my sewing machine


representing traditional Santa on one side, Swedish Santa with Dala horse on the other

with embellished coats, hats and shoes by me


the Scottish Santa got a real pompom on his hat, and so does the Asian Santa on the other side

they are here to say hi to you because...


one of them could end up in your home!

welcome to the HO - HO - HO creJJtion Give Away

to win a Santa, simply enter a sweet comment to this post

it is always nice if you start following creJJtion or put this give away on your blog

~ but you don't have to ~

the give away is open to international readers too

winner will be drawn on Wednesday December 7th


and the winner will get to choose his or her Santa of preference!

~ enjoy ~

    hey wat leuk! Ik had precies hetzelfde idee toen ik deze ikea-stof voorbij zag komen :) Maar winnen is natuurlijk nog leuker zelf maken ;) dus ik doe heel graag mee. Als je het leuk vindt; op mijn blog kan je meedoen aan een adventskalender maar ook aan een oerhollandse HEMA, fiep westendorp give away ;)Je bent van harte uitgenodigd! Fijne week!

    The Santa's are looking so sweet! I went to Ikea a few days ago, and I held the same fabric in my hands asking myself what to to with it. I did not bought it because I have had no Idea! But your sewing work is such a nice Idea - I will be really happy to receive such a nice gift...

    Your Santas are adorable! I bought a set of postcards from Ikea the other day that has one card with all the different Santas on it. So cute! I didn't venture into the fabric department. But then, I don't sew. :/ I took pictures of the Christmas decorations at Ikea so tomorrow I will do a post about your giveaway. :) Best wishes, Tammy

    I love them. I might have to send Ikea a letter asking them to include a Colombian Santa next year ;) I think these Santas would be very popular in our house among the under 3 residents ;) It was lovely to meet you and I cannot wait for our thrifting adventure. I will text you tomorrow!! xxxo

    Your Santas are so precious! I wish I could look at something as benign as a piece of fabric and see something more interesting in it, and then bring it to life like that.

    Wat mooi gemaakt!
    Zo afentoe 'dwarrel' ik voorbij omdat ik je in mijn favorieten heb gezet. Geïnspireerd door je mooie gehaakte dekens heb ik van de zomer voor mijn neefje een babydekrn gehaakt, en dat terwijl ik niet eens heel creatief ben met naald en draad :-)
    Gister hebben we de sleutel van ons nieuwe huis gehad; daar is ruimte genoeg voor zo'n mooie santa.
