Making good on a promise

I got a text about a month ago from a fiber friend; she was wondering if I had forgotten that I was going to make a needle-felted Santa for her - in turquoise.  Oh wow...yes, I had forgotten.  Darn it.  Since I had been doing some other needle-felting projects and had all the wool out, I knew I needed to get that Santa finished.  Seems odd to be working on Santa when I'm relishing the return of Spring...  On the other hand,  I probably spent a little extra time on the details, as I wasn't in a  "holiday hurry."  So, he's now ready to go. I'm not particularly thrilled with this picture, but you get the idea.
