KILLER SWARM OF BEES

I had a request for a bee. My friend even pointed me to the pattern online. As soon as Owly 2.0 was done, I started on a pink bee, which is the prototype to work out kinks because I have a lot of pink yarn, my gauge is never "right" according to patterns and I was killing time between Italy and Spain's lackluster performances in the quarterfinals (the penalties were killer though). My sis requested multicolored wings, so as soon as I had a color palette I set to work. Half way through the body, my sis says it's Mr. Peanut! So that might be a future project. As soon as the body was done and I started on the first wing, I saw that the body was too chubby for its flimsy wings :( I went ahead anyway. I might tweak a few less stitches in each row to make a slimmer butterfly--I mean, BEE!! Hahaha. My mom also came home around the time I was attaching the wings. She then requested an angel. Okay, I can do that. REQUESTS PLEASE, then I can get off my duff and do something :)
