I don't think this design is still available but you'll still have fun browsing Janet's designs on her website.

Sea Shell Santa (Janet Zickler Casey)

Brenda of Brenda's Needlepoint Studio is working another Janet Z. Casey Santa, this time the Sea Shell Santa.

By the way, the spools of YLI ribbon floss are the old packaging.  It's usually only available on the square frames now.  Metallic ribbon floss is a bit stiffer than the regular ribbon floss, so that may be part of the problem, or maybe this is just a really old spool of thread.

He's done already!  And he's a cutie.

Her next Santa from Janet is the Snowball Santa.

As is usual with these cute Santas, you start with the face.  I'll update this article as Brenda stitches Santa to bring him to life.  If you aren't familiar with Janet Casey's Santas, you can browse them here.  Some are available as painted canvases with stitch guides now (I think from Danji) but Brenda is working them as originally designed.
