day two-hundred-and-forty-eight - panda (NOOO not more pandas!) yes more pandas

woah long title. long but necessary i feel. early post too hey? well i TRICKED you all, because i wrote this last night - i just have to post it before i jet off to somewhere slightly more awesome than my hometown but not so awesome i would live there... so devious i know

anyhoo, as promised a created-but-definitely-not-drawn-unless-drawing-with-stitches-counts-in-which-case-this-kinda-would-huzzah animal...

a pattern i scoured from this creative lady's post. i don't think i stuffed him enough but he is just sooo cute and i wanted to keep him all for myself and not give him to my cousin's two-and-a-half year old daughter (who is pretty ridiculously cute herself).

EXTRA CUTENEZZ:

p.s. can't post again until saturday due to above-mentioned town, but i will try my darndest to draw on friday anyhow... i should at least do one of those two things in this blog - either draw on the day or post on the day

aww what an awesome ambassador for xmas

tomorrow's post is a little bit of cheating i guess, in that my animal is not drawn, but it was still CREATED by me....

ooo that'll definitely guarantee my two readers (i.e. parents) come back tomorrow

day two-hundred-and-forty-six - xmas shoebill stork

oh hello again! what are the chances of meeting you twice in the same day!?

probably pretty high, seeing as that's the point of this blog...

in any case, this guy is both the second-to-last christmas card i have to post AND the creepiest:
