Thanks to the following.

Howard for roughing out the pattern for me.
Peter for the windows, door and face for the Santa.
Also good tips from howard and Lynn on how to do the cotton top.


Note on the Santa. I'd never seen one like this before. Has a vintage face on it thou.

Pics a little dark, but won't stop eaining to grab a shot in the sun. And too big for my photo booth.

Now what to work on??
