Anna Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 OK, so I am going from this to that and back again doing odd jobs here and there, and will probably get to the electrical stuff in my Aster/Santa's cottage later on today (maybew LOL) depending on what else I might end up doing... Such a scatter brain but then again this is the beauty of having more than one project going on at the same time, or atleast it is for me. Have been stitching on the Christmas rug that will go under the kitchen table a few hours this week as well in between doing other things. I told you that Santa has a strong wish for grey-ish socks for his feet, right? And now he has told me he NEEDS a reindeer stable, with a couple of reindeers in, soooo I got thinking what about using one of the Spring Fling/Annie's Lobster Schack houses for that, with a little tweaking one could make the doors as half doors and inside one half could be the "stable" and the other side could be the tack room/area etc. Afcourse I will have to hunt down a few reindeers as well... As I am going to order a few packs of the siding material from GL anyway I think I will inlcude one of these little gems as wel...

Florencia Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 That is a wonderful idea I have seem many Santa’s houses and workshops but none of them have a place for the reindeers. The spring flying will be nice for it. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 That is a great idea Anna! You could either saw the doors in half for the stable or square up the opening and make new doors. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the wayyy........ B) Debra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what2craftnow Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Oh what fun!! Santa has to have his reindeer too :yes: Hmm, will keep eyes pealed for some - I know they make some in plastic and are usually sprayed gold or "flocked" in white fuzz - a can of brown spray paint would fix that though. Not sure if the ones I have seen are to scale, but I will surely keep you in mind Anna. And as for you being scatter-brained...I am the senior member in THAT club!! Sounds like your Santa house is going to be just perfect!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I wish someone could make new molds from the cheap white plastic reindeer from the '50s and re-release them at Christmastime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well, we have searched and searched for suitable reindeers but no luck so far, but then again we might find something when the Christmas ornaments are coming out in stores, so we'll wait and see. The stable itself will be a breeze to put together Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I was thinking the other day, wouldn't it be neat of some company to find those old molds and reissue those incredibly cheap white plastic reindeer from the '40s & '50s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 That would be neat indeed Holly, one can only keep fingers crossed for such a development! Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
