I'd like to be Totoro (from "My neighbor Totoro") but i'm pretty behind, thanks to my procrastination skills. I'm not sure how to go about it- should I make Totoro's body end at my legs and wear tights, or have the costume end at my feet and touch the ground? With the second, it would be kinda hard to walk, but it would look a lot better. Also, how should I make the belly keep its shape? Any ideas are really appreciated. Here are some pics:

This weekend, my friend taught me how to felt, so I made 2 felted finger puppets and a necklace for my 3 cousins who are 2, 5, and 7. They were so much fun to make!! Please tell me what you think.

I'm new to the knitting world, and I'm not sure what you do to sew knitting together. I mean, do you use a normal needle? How do you tie your work off? Any suggestions would be appriciated. Thanks!

I couldn't figure out what to be for Halloween and my friend at school brought out this fake credit card she carries around. CLICK! *light over head* I could be a credit card! Scratch the could... I WILL be a credit card! I'm thinking about a simple sandwich board with  realistic decorations on either side. Tell me what all you creative craftsters out there think about it!

I'm thinking about making 100 or so bumper stickers with a peace sign, then "out" (peace out). I would sell them for  $1.00 or so and give the money to a charitable organization. The reason that I'm writing this is because I'm wondering if you think this would catch on. I would make more if it did.

The subject pretty much says it all. I am confused and confounded. Please someone tell me, I would appreciate it greatly.

I really want to try making fudge, but all the recipes I've tried don't really work (not that I've tried too much, he he). Does anyone know a good recipe?

Go to the Alpujarras mountains in southern Spain. Very crafty, very hippy, very cool.

What exactly is silkscreening? Can someone please tell me? PLEASE?
