I'm afraid to promise, in case I don't get to it... but I think it is very clever. Also, I don't paint as well as you and Becky do... I don't know if I could get the face right. I'm starting to think about my winter projects, and as always, I need to catch up on my scrapbooking. I have volumes since Tony and I first met, but then I ran into a bit of a roadblock in 2008 (when the times, they were a-changin'). Got that part done, and I hope with honor, but I'm still a couple of years behind... so I think that is going to be my priority. I know this is completely OT (sorry), but I really want to catch up with that. Also, I seem to be having some sort of draw towards learning to knit and/or crochet. Don't know if I'll get to that this year, either, LOL! Oh, and I'm getting cross country skis for my birthday so I get outside and enjoy my beautiful mountains more in the winter... and, and, and...
But, I do love your nutcracker. Thanks for posting the tutorial!
