Lord a-Leaping Pattern Now Available!

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to meeeee…

Twelve lords a-leaping!

Can we all just have a 30 second freeform dance party now, y’all? *dances like no one is watching*

Hooooooo. *arranges hair* (I used to do that as a school break with my two girls when they were young enough to think I was funny and cool. We’d blare the music and dance like maniacs around the living room. Good times.)

This. The grand finale! The final pattern! The end of the Twelve Days Ornament Series. Is finished. I love this His Leapingness so, and of course the True Love bonus ornament that comes along with him.


One of my favorite things about Lord Fancy Pants here is the fact that his legs are jointed and moveable. You can position them in whatever energetic pose you prefer. Just a little extra something I included because it’s fun.

This twelfth and series finale pattern is now available in my Etsy and Craftsy shops. Are you new to this series? Pop over to this post to see lots of helpful information about it.

If you know the modern Twelve Days of Christmas song by heart, you might be saying to yourself, ‘Wait, I thought day twelve was Drummers Drumming?’ And you’d be right! However, my series is based on the original carol from 1780 and the order toward the end is a bit different than the modern one. No worries if you prefer that order – you can number your ornaments any way you like!

These three leaping lord and true love samples were made with the Benzie felt bundle no. 6 (Goose a-Laying and Lord a-Leaping). You can of course make your ornaments in whatever colors you like! For those of you who want to make ornaments just like these samples, the specific color guide for them, along with DMC floss numbers included, will be coming soon in a separate post.
 
On a personal note, you may have noticed January got by me a little faster than I planned. This last week my dear Schmoopie went through a medical ordeal (three kidney stones, one very large) so I was understandably derailed for a few days. If you have ever passed a kidney stone, you know how truly horrible it is no matter what size the stone. I’m so glad to tell you he’s feeling much better! Thanks so much for getting in touch and for your eagerness to purchase these patterns!

So all that to tell you that YES indeed, I am going to list a 1-12 pattern bundle — the complete series bundle you’ve been waiting so patiently for! It’s not listed yet. Give me a day or two to get it together and into the shops. It’s late, y’all. *yawns*
