Crazy January start #27

Day #27 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Santa's Cuisine by StitchWorld.  I bought this kit at a thrift store for $2.50.  I started in the center with the lid of the pot and steam coming out.  I wonder what Santa is cooking!  This is on 14 ct oatmeal Aida and will be about 10" x 13"

Santa's Cuisine

I found another Santa on my WIPocalypse list that I started last January, Yo Ho Ho Ho by Sue Hillis Designs.  This pirate Santa has a candy cane hook for a hand, a candy-striped peg leg, and an eye patch!  There are 3 different shades of terra cotta in his coat.  I stitched more on his coat and beard today.  This is on 14 ct gold-dusted Stardust Aida and will be about 4" x 6".
