OK, tada! I redid the nest on the goose with Julep OK, tada! I redid the nest on the goose with Julep instead of Citron. I liked both felt colors, but the Julep is more harmonious looking for the overall set. I keep trying to sneak the Citron felt in there because I like it so well, but it ain't workin. Had to get a little vicious to get the nest back off the goose, but I was able to hide the damage. 😂

SHOWN: Twelve Days no. 6, Goose a-Laying
