wow, thanks everyone! have really enjoyed stitching again, especially this little guy. last few days progress have been pretty good, managed to finish off his tail and ears, and started on his face and arms, and randomly did a part of his leg too (i don't think i stitch in the most logical way hehe)

he's starting to come to life now :D and typically, as i'm really getting into it, i'll have to put him on hold for a week as i'm off to bulgaria on holiday. oh well!

You are making great progress with this one and I love the hint of metallics through his tail. Sad you can't take him with you on your holiday but have a great time whilst away.

I love this squirrel. Besides, it combines cross stitch half cross stitch and blackwork. Really beautiful
