Birthday Squirrel

This is a birthday card I made for a coworker.  She's into squirrels, and this stuffie pattern turned out awesome before, so I used it again.

The tree is a photo Andrew took that I Photoshopped.  Everyone signed the card under the tree.  

It all came out even better than I had hoped.  I just adore that tree branch font!  And this time I gave the squirrel a little shock of hair.  Is it wrong to love cute this much?!

i will have to show thehobbit your sweet little squirrel; he has a weird love of them.

please tell me you do all sorts of things poorly, & just don't blog about them.

Not wrong at all - it is perfection! Buck-tooth perfection.

I have looked all over for the felt Japanese book but don't know how to order - could you point me in the right direction?

There is a lot of great information on this site:

There are a bunch of links on the left under the heading "Where to get 'em" that should help you.

Wow. New Kids on the Block just came on my iPod.

That was completely unrelated to the post, though. I apologize.

The squirrel is to die for. Will you make me one? :)

at last you've saved me from going bonkers, I've been trying to find out forr ages how you correctly start and finish blanket stitch!!! I've been making it up so far and at last your fab tutorial was there yay for you. I was on the hunt for thick 4mmm felt when I came across your blog, it's a lovely blog I ended up looking at it for ages instead of getting on with my felt jewellery! Just to say thanks so much for helping me out
