Thank you to the lovely comments I've had about the squirrel. Maybe I'll have to make another one - after the bunnies and another hedgehog and maybe a sheep or two...
Also, thanks to all the sympathy for my poor health lately. I feel rather sheepish, since it's really only a cold. I can't believe how many colds I've gotten since buying 3 Kittens Needle Arts in October. I don't know if it's because I'm being exposed to more viruses in the store or due to stress or simply because I haven't been able to get my allergy shots on a regular basis. Probably some combination of all three! Anyway, my goal is to get back to taking my allergy shots weekly until I build back up to my optimum level, and combat stress by getting back to my karate and running. I can't do anything about being exposed to stuff at the store or through my kids - except wash my hands ... alot!
Here's the latest FO. 
I can't take full credit for all of it, since I had Rosemary Kosel (Janine's mother) do the cloth part, since my seamstress skills are limited at best (I can do a very uncomplicated archer costume for my son, but that's about it). It's crocheted - as if you couldn't tell - from a pattern from Candy Babies by Candi Jensen. The crochet part was really quick - it was a great first project after the ubiquitous crocheted scarf. (O.K., also after the Olivia's Shrug, but since I ended up ripping that all out, I can't really count that, can I?) I'm shipping it off to my new niece, Alex, tomorrow. She's the yawner in the photo. I haven't been able to see her yet, because she lives in far away Olympia, Washington, but her pics are really cute.

Kay and Judy specialize in wet felting and needle felting. The Saturday evening workshop is to make a wet felted flower corsage. On Sunday, the full-day workshop will create a one-of-a-kind needle felted purse. There are photos of the samples on the home page of the 3 Kittens website if you're interested.
