Who doesn't want a tiger skin rug?

One of the things that I started around the time I started that birth announcement was a mousepad shaped like a tiger-skin rug. This is done on plastic canvas as opposed to the normal aida cloth and let me tell you, it's a pain in the ass! It looks really cool, but the canvas is harder to work with and my hands get too sore to do much at a time. This one will take a while to finish, but in the meantime, here is the beginning of my mousepad!
