Christmas in summer!

Getting ready for market in Oct, means Christmas in Aug.  Im sewing reindeer for Santa to ride! I always have my helper close at hand -

I have become very good at sewing one handed as not to disturb the cat.  Any one else make things more difficult for themselves just so they dont upset a sleeping animal?   I find I wont move so I dont wake the cat - you know he doesnt get enough sleep with his 23 hour sleep schedule.

Here are some pictures of my work load.   It just hurts my hands doing all that stuffing!

 Above and all ready for paint.  Below are ones I had to stitch the legs on.
