here's my february block for the into the jungle stitch-along by the frosted pumpkin stitchery. it took me 11 days days to stitch up the little trio of toucans.

and here is the 3x4 project life card i created to keep track of my stitching days. a bit of paper piecing for the toucan & the pinkish outline i created with a couple of distress inks to match the fabric i'm stitching on.
