Ho-ho-Homer in the Hedge

When I saw this pattern on Etsy, it wasn’t a matter of if I was stitching it, but when. And luckily, I got it finished in time for Chrismtas - hooray! For those who might not be up on their Simpsons canon, it’s a seasonal riff on a well-known meme.

I didn’t know that was green Aida until I read it, so cool! I still remember a lot of lines from when I was heavily watching the Simpsons in high school… A lot of years later and it’s still going :exploding_head:
