Mary close up

stitch 172

Whoo-hoo, thanking you Miss Frou for changing the settings ! It wont seem to let me upload more then one pick into a post, they get stopped at 70% if I try, but that’s okay, if no one minds the making of more then one post. :)

This is my squirrel and flying turtle, it was very hard for me not to stitch that bird in green, because to me he IS a flying turtle not a peace bird hehe. I changed the squirrel’s nose, ’cause I thought the little guy looked a little sinister like ” Haha mother hugger, I just stole your NUT mawhahahah” so, now he’s had a nose job hehehe and he looks much sweeter…

    Gotta laugh at the not so sinister looking nose! I think everyone has a problem with the nose! I’m not there yet… so I have a little while to decide if I’ll change it or not!!
