This time I will show you how to crochet a little Santa Claus – and I have a template for a sledge made of cardboard and chocolate.
You can fill the sled with a small gift or some handmade cookies.
There are only a few more weeks until Christmas and the searching for Christmas gifts has begun.
And maybe you need also a small gift for St. Nicholas Day. Or you play Secret Santa or have colleagues, friends, dear people whom you want to give a small gift. Kindergarten festivals, school parties, celebration with colleagues – the list is endless.
The Amigurumi exhibition in New York (http://resobox.com/amigurumi-artists-15/) begins on 11 December. I take part and my little package is already on the way there.

Two weeks ago my husband came home (with a big smile on his face), he held two puppies in his arms and asked me if we could raise them. One puppy will stay with us and the other one will be with his father, once he grows up.
