With credit to Miyako Kansmori who devised this beautiful glove squirrel, allow me to introduce to you the Australian version. Meet “Wattle” the first all Australian squirrel.
For those of you wanting one, here is how it is done. First the pattern.
Next get a spare glove. 
Cut out the pieces.
Then sew and stuff.
Add the features. Let your imagination be your guide. Sew the pieces together.
I added eyelash yarn applied with running stitch to give Wattle her red fury effect.
Here she is in the Australian out back, very much at home. 
I had some great suggestions for the sample pillow that was discussed at the recent “ending is better than mending class” but Wattle is demonstrating the best yet! ZZZZZZZZZ.
So now if you find you have a spare glove there is no need to fret. Don’t throw it away, turn it into a cute squirrel!
and finally if you love squirrels and want an interesting gift for yourself or someone else check out this on line store from Evil Squirrel’s Nest

That is adorable!!! MBRS is gonna be soooo jealous she’s no longer the prettiest red squirrel!
LOL. Wattle and I thank you.
I have a Labradore retriever who is crazy for squirrels…I mean crazy. Is it too much mischief to make him a squirrel and put it in his stocking? Tee hee!
HaHa! Make him one! Its Christmas and time for toys! I hope he has lots of fun. I love doggies and have 2 of my own.
Very cool and squirrelicious!
Thank you psquirrel from the very rare, in fact one of a kind, Australian red squirrel!

This is a post from one of my favorite Squirrel Approved Blogs, Gentlestitches. If any of you out there love the crafty side of creativity, I highly recommend my Aussie aunt’s blog, which is always full of neat ideas. The little red glove squirrel in this post is extremely cute!
