@Elizabeth-Rose Thanks, I'm happy my comments have helped!
A greenhouse sounds pretty but I think it detracts from the story, since the story is about the little squirrel making her own garden instead of working in the family garden.
It feels like the greenhouse is coming from nowhere, and doesn't connect to the rest of the story.

Maybe you could change the greenhouse to a smaller garden shed, and show the little squirrel pushing a wheelbarrow full of garden tools instead.

@Miriam Oh, now that is a cool idea! Garden sheds are usually interesting too. Or maybe I’ve just always had a fascination with them. Lol And I love the wheelbarrow idea too. I have a wheelbarrow in the “Here I’m Happy” book. It would be cool for the wheelbarrow to have a re-appearance in this one
I’ll play around with that idea. Thanks again!

I’m working on some character design for the tea party guests. Here is Ms. Bunny bellow.

Yes, they seem like they could be full of all kinds of interesting & useful things.

Character design for Lady Skunk (she is the sassy friend)

[ArtistErin]

@Elizabeth-Rose Love all your characters!!

[Elizabeth Rose]

@ArtistErin thanks! They are fun to draw up

[Elizabeth Rose]

And here we have an introduction to Little Miss Lady Raccoon. I think I’ll try redoing her paws holding the parasol though. They seem not quite right to me. Anybody else feel that way too?

[ArtistErin]

@Elizabeth-Rose I found some images and thought they resembled somewhat the look you are after, would this help? If they were delicate and ladylike to match your character's demeanor that would make more sense I think.

[Elizabeth Rose]

@ArtistErin Oh, Thank you! Those are helpful!

[Elizabeth Rose]

And here I introduce to you. Miss Mulberry Gen. She is the rascally friend out of Little Squirrels friends.

[Elizabeth Rose]

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope it’s been a wonderful week.

I’ve not been able to figure out what to name Little Squirrel’s friend Miss little Sassy Sunk. So I’ve asked for suggestions on social media and I’ve gotten a wonderful collection of sassy names.

Here is the list I’ve picked and mixed from all the name suggestions:

1. Dandelion Pearl
2. Daisy Lace
3. Scarlet Bell
4. Violet Antonella
5. Holly Daphne
6. Gwendolyn Rose

Everyone feel free to vote your favorite name bellow! I will also be gathering votes from my social medias too.

[Chantal Goetheer]

@Elizabeth-Rose I like nr 2 and 6. 2 is the easiest to read out loud. I always find it hard to name. Our cat was called cat...

[Jean Watson]

@Elizabeth-Rose Daisy Lace gets my vote.

[Elizabeth Rose]

@Chantal-Goetheer Hahaha, your cat’s name is Cat? That’s awesome. I know, naming can be so hard sometimes.

@Jean-Watson Alrighty! Daisy Lace as two votes so far!

[Chantal Goetheer]

@Elizabeth-Rose haha yes. Obi wan Kenobi didn't stick . And at some point we had two cats and one was cat (poes in Dutch) and the other one little cat (poesje). Luckily we never had more than two.

[Elizabeth Rose]

@Chantal-Goetheer Hahaha! At least it’s a good story to tell!

[ArtistErin]

@Elizabeth-Rose I love how these have come out!

[kirsten-mcg]

@Elizabeth-Rose I’m partial to Gwendolyn Rose. It happens to be my daughter’s name!
