<p>Gorgeous piece, even if it IS of a squirrel! :-)</p>
<p>From June, who says that this guy is stealing her walnuts:</p>
<p>"I love stitching things with a squirrel theme. I actually like the little beggars. And the Red Squirrel is becoming somewhat rare in its home territory (England). I picked this piece because I also like the watercolor work of Marjolein Bastin, the original artist. She specializes in painting animals and nature settings."</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://debbieohi.com/squirrel/rss-comments-entry-15034365.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Squirrel/Chipmunk Softie: Deceptively Cute</title><category>Crafts and Squirrel Art</category><category>chipmunk</category><category>craft</category><dc:creator>Debbie Ohi</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:01:15 +0000</pubDate><link>http://debbieohi.com/squirrel/2012/2/9/squirrelchipmunk-softie-deceptively-cute.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">605335:9849582:14961641</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2008/recycled-glove-how-to-make-a-chipmunk-softie/"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="SockSquirrel.jpg" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-9qmSpDo2tEs/TzPs0TBXTpI/AAAAAAAABbU/sfuYHswmIgE/SockSquirrel.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" alt="SockSquirrel" width="320" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>Cuuute glove squirrel/chipmunk! Thanks to Alice Ching-Chew for the image.</p>
<p>My only fear: This depiction of squirrels gives people the mistaken impression that squirrels are cute and loveable while downplaying their Evil Horde World Domination aspect.</p>
<p>I did some hunting around, and it looks as if the image is from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Happy-Gloves-Charming-Friends-Colorful/dp/1557885397/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1223670374&amp;sr=1-1">Happy Gloves: Charming Softy Friends Made From Colorful Gloves</a> (HP Trade, 2008) by Miyako Kanamori.

<p>Thanks to Christie Harkin for alerting me to this <a href="http://life.time.com/curiosities/a-squirrels-guide-to-fashion/#4">disturbing slide show on the Time Life website</a>. Apparently a woman in the 40's actually adopted a squirrel and dressed it up in various costumes.</p>
