The initial rounds represent The Little Match Girl and The Steadfast Tin Soldier and that's where I stopped for the back of my vest.
The front is all freehanded. There's the parlor, and the fireplace, and the hearthrug with a cat sleeping on it, and the Christmas tree, and the Nutcracker, and the Sugar Plum Fairy, and lots and lots and lots of sugar mice plus The Mouse King. And on the mantel is the Clock and The Owl, and a cat of course.
And doing stuff like this is why I have remained sane throughout this perhaps our now no longer neverending Plague Era.
Plus the comradeship of the assembled of course. That may be the most important part...
