Toadstools

I've had to put the gnomes on hold for a bit... (I need to get some
more fabric in a larger width...) so I decided to stitch some
toadstool accent squares. You just can't have gnomes without toadstools!

Square Eight : Rolf

This guy has no name... :( He's my newest gnome and I'm at a loss for
a name. I'm thinking maybe Melvin...? Not sure yet. I'm also not
completely wild about the colors of floss I used. I need to make a
trip to JoAnn or Michael's to get some new variety. I tried to do some
different colors here, but they didn't show up so great. Oh well...
next time.

Square Seven : Peter

This is Peter... and his carrot. I can't wait to start piecing these
squares together... It's going to be awhile still, but I'm looking
forward to it anyway.

Square Six : Basil

This is Basil, beloved book buff... (you know Amanda adores
alliteration...) Basil just loves those books!

Square Five : Beldar

I know it's been a little while since I've posted the latest square...
I've been stitching like crazy, just not posting. This pointy-headed
guy is Beldar. (I named him after Dan Akroyd's character in
Coneheads... for my dad.) I decided to do the flowers in a different
color and I really like how it turned out! I'm going to have to do
this on some more...

Square Four : Julius

This jolly guy is Julius... I finished the square maybe about a week
or so ago, just never got around to writting a post. (sorry!)
I really seem to be making quick progress on the squares. If call
volume is low (which it has been for the past few days... I think it
has to do wight the super nice weather lately...) I feel like I move
really quickly. I'm already a little over half way through the the
next one, Beldar.
