Gentle Readers and Dear Friends thank you all so much for the great comments - I think it has been decided - I'm gonna call him Peanut the Christmas Squirrel - sitting on the letter "S" - That totally made the morning!! Now, to market him to the masses and make a bazillion buckaroos!!! :)

Last night I finished up the wonderful Mystery SAL that Carol R was having over at iStitch.
Here is my version....
I used HDF silk - Oxblood and Blueberry Soup
stitched on a mystery piece of 32ct Sand coloured linen
It was a great piece to work on. Thank you so much carol for putting it all together and keeping us motivated and stitching!!!
