Squirrel II is coming together great. i even found some paws and it's hard to see but there's two little paddy feet. however...i'm a little unhappy with the state of Squirrel II's styling. personally, i like the unkempt look, but i think it's a little much here. i mean, squirrel has such a nice physique under those tufts, why hide it? so i broached the subject with him and he seems open to a new look. he's a little shy of the scissors though.....don't know what that's all about, but whatever. we can do this with some strategic felting. all we need to do is put squirrel in the washing machine on hot for one cycle. then everything should tighten up a bit. we both agree that his tail is perfect and of course, should stay as bushy as possible. so i'm not going to attach that until Squirrel II comes out of the "salon".

Linda should be gettin back here soon, so check the Yarn Museum over the next day or two to see everyone's projects!
