Okay guys, today we are finishing up the visitors for our Rustic Nativity CAL! We are moving quickly through the figures and are making the visitors who are kneeling, a Shepherd and a Wise Man. You should have already make the cloak and bag for the kneeling wise man yesterday as indicated. However,  if you only made one of each yesterday, you can get the patterns here.
