Nutcracker and Sleeping Girl

What did I say yesterday?  And here again is a Christmas themed pattern.  The detail in the sleeping girl and the wooden nutcracker is wonderful.  Do people still have a big bowl of nuts still in the shell on their coffee table in the living room?  With a set of nut cracking tools?  I doubt it, I tried finding nuts still in the shell and couldn't.  Snacks today are all about quick, easy, sugar, and salt.  When you are snacking on nuts in the sell, you have to work for your snack!  And every home had some form of nutcracker.  But most of us didn't have beautiful works of art like this one.
