Hello Cuties, I am feeling rather smug about this, even though it took me most of the day-lol-This is my version of Santa's cookie and milk placemat (too big for a mug rug).
I used Cute Embroidery's Santa on the lower right corner (see link below) but I omitted his pockets by skipping those stitches (I hope you don't mind Ms V).
The gingerbread man was from ages ago, just filed as gbman. I have the gbGirl, too but no idea where they were from, but I downloaded in 2012. The outline is off leaving empty spaces, so it is a good thing it's on a busy fabric square. All in all I am satisfied.
I made a pocket for his cookies (see 3 rd photo). And lastly, I remembered my 'Toogie' brand!
I hope you like what I came up with and also hope it excites Miss Nora! Have a great day or night my friends!-Toogie

No different than you, but thank you. She came by and chose the newest green one, so I guess this blue is for little Rylan.

Love this mat. Think Miss Nora will love it too.
Toogie the designs are from a set - CharmingStation-ChristmasCookieSet. The gingerbreads come with some other cookies: rendeer, candy-cane star & stocking.

Wendyy, when she comes I hear it at least once a day, but most days more. Just out of the blue she tells me. I love it too.
360641Makes me want to be Nora's age again! This turned out soooo cute and she will always have it (no size).

She won't outgrow this for sure! You can be young again at Christmas time if only young at heart! Thanks

Thank you Mrs Lillian, you know we do anything to make our kids happy. I made this without Nora and a good thing too. She would have lost interest as long as it took me-lol-also I worked with a stopped up ear. I feel like I'm underwater.....

Thanks, although the original idea and ITH design came from another site, I thought I could put something similar together with what I have.
41781Great job! Nora will be thrilled! Was this done ITH or???

Of course not!-lol- I could only wish for Santa to bring me a machine with a BIG emb field! ..another LOL
I did a background stipple ITH though, on each square, then embroidered what I wanted on each. Centered and then cut to size 6 1/2 square taking 1/2 inch seams, when I sewed my blocks together. I ended up with a whopping, nearly 12 inch square....I bet you could design something like this ITH though!....
