He's got legs

I worked on the pirate today and got his legs and boots assembled, his sash and his jabot (scarf). Next up is assembly of the coat. There is a lot of work on just that part. He's coming out nicely though and the mermaid is looking forward to having a friend.

I stiffened the reindeer pin and added a pin back so that project is completed.

My mom purchased a kit for a watch. You cross-stitch teeny tiny quilt blocks using one strand of floss over one strand of fabric thread. Using these tiny designs you make covered buttons that are then glued to the watch links. I got the kit out, substituted better fabric (the one that came with was not the greatest), organized the threads and started stitching. This is one project I'm going to need to use my magnifying headset for.
