Hands on hips
Don't you think this design is perfect for me? My children do. They call me the squirrel. Because I make handmade needle felted acorns, I am forever searching for another magnificent oak tree that produces acorns that are just the size and shape I need. Some trees offer up a cap that's too small, too wide, too rough, too, too, too! So if I find a tree I like, I hang around. A lot.
But then there's the issue with the squirrels. Some squirrels delicately remove the nut, leaving me a perfectly intact cap. Other furry terrorists rip 'em apart all willy nilly and bite big chunks out of the cap. I stand there, with hands on hips, glaring at the squirrels and threatening to get a cat. Then the big yellow school bus comes and my children (plus a few others) look at me with a stupefied stare. I've offered the squirrels a training seminar, we're in negotiations. I'm going to ignore the bus thing.
The image... that's from Iomoi and, boy, do they have some beautiful stuff.
