FO: Gordon the Flamingo

Meet my new friend: Gordon the Flamingo!  Gordon was in my September box of the freshstitches kit club, I think choosing a flamingo for the kit was Stacey's last ditch attempt to hang on to summer....  and it worked a little!



I have a coworker who loves to hear what is in my kit club shipments and as soon as I mentioned that this time it was a flamingo she got very excited because she loves flamingos, so I told her that Gordon would be hers.  He is off to his new home now and enjoying it very much.
