Great minds think alike, don't they. I see you have a Sweet Spot too. This might have to be done for the other Sweet Spot, I just found. Thanks for the pattern, Sweet Kris. You got it, I'm hanging out just like you today. But, I need some of those socks. Seriously, I was minding my own Bee's Wax and there you go, having me google to find something so cute.
Love the socks!! :o)
And your little Santa
ornament is too cute.
Hugs, Trish

Thank you, Kris! I bet you know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning! I'm excited to know the pattern! Annette
Is there anything you can't do? Love the Santa face!
WOOOHOOO.... I LOVE your homemade slippers, I LOVE them. I can't make those, I have 2 left hands.
If I ordered a pair how much would they be???
I have been following your blog and I LOVE it!!!!
Red was my favorite color forever but now when they found a lump in my right breast and I am on treatment PINK is my favorite color.
They caught it in time, but I am sick and vomiting and have lost alot of my thick long hair but like my Husband said I am here and that is what matters NOT hair!
We just celebrated our 23 ard wedding Anniversay and our oldest just turned 20 yrs. old and is in college and our youngest will be 17 yrs old Dec 19th and is in high school. Both have part time jobs as well.
Family is everything to me.
Christmas Blessings to you Kris and to your family from my family,
Tricia XO
say kris, do you think you'd be a doll and help me with adding my button to my blog so people could grab it, like yours? I used to know how to do this, and now I cannot remember~or can you point me in the right direction of the instructions? thanks girl!
Thank you for the Santa Face pattern. It is so cute! Love the socks too. I'm so glad I found your blog, I signed up to follow you as I too am living life one day at a time. Have a very Merry Christmas!
My grandma made these for everyone about 20 years ago. We still have them on our tree every year. Thank you for posting the instructions. I would love to make them as gifts. ♥

So, where are the diagrams mentioned in the Santa face pattern?
Thank you so much for the Santa face pattern! I've looked for it for ages and will for sure be making some. I'm also going to make some of your cute Santa socks but I'm wondering what yarn you used for the fluffy white tops! Thank you for your help!
This is the cutest Santa face I've ever seen on the net1 Thanks for sharing! All the best! Sanda
i love your santa face and slippers what size hook did you use on them both thank you sandie
Obviously I like your web site, but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to inform you. Nevertheless I will surely come again again! my christmas celebration essay
I would love make your darling santa face. Please let me know what yarn and crochet hook you used.
Thank you!
