Actually, I'd thought about doing that

I can picture that...a caterpillar with googly eyes and floppy feelers...  I've loving that already 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we'll be receiving our swap partner's name on the 23rd.  Am I right about this, Rakuette?  Then, we have a week (or a little less) to cram a quart sandwich sized baggie full of crafty goodies for our partners 

Aw...I love your choice of fabric and the whimsical bunny applique.  That's definitely a keeper...I wouldn't sell it!  Then again, I have a hard time parting with things I make 

Oreos!  They look wonderful    Thanks for the detailed cookie tutorial! 

Yay!  I have the same yarn in my stash.  Like yourself, I have a yarn bin.  Okay...it's more like one of those plastic drawers on wheels thingie...and one of the drawers is filled with Target yarn   

In my mind, your blue and orange scarf looks like a furry caterpillar.  I'm thinking it might be pretty cool to combine a green fun fur yarn with the orange furry yarn from target.  Perhaps knit a long tube/sock using circular needles and form that into a caterpillar stuffie.  Too outrageous, or totally doable?

Oh Yes! I remember Miffy from my preschool days.  I remembered being baffled trying to figure out if Miffy talks...is she does, where's her mouth? 

Lol, good point.  Perhaps she has a tendency to mumble and speak in a little bunny voice?  Here's another question.  How can you tell if she's happy, sad, confused, or pissed off?!?  Still, you gotta love her...and there's a rather endearing quality about the simplicity of Miffy...or Nijntje...

I bought some Fun Fur in Sapphire to make a scarf for a friend.  It looks like the blue yarn you used for your scarf.  Here's a link to their site:

Aw, a Cookie Monster scarf would have rocked!  Okay, you've got to install the driver for your camera.  You've piqued my interest and I wanna see the entire scarf (not just a swatch!)...pretty please 

Well, the vase idea would work if you wanted to incorporate a poem or two  

That turned out really well!  I love the vivid colors    Is that Lion Brand's Fun Fur in Sapphire?!? 

It's a toss up between the digital camera and the scanner.  My scanner seems to provide a better representation of color while the digital camera botches the color but shows the entire object.  Bah!

I read this book...a long time ago!  Can't remember all the details of the book, but I vaguely remember something about a jade pendant that was given to Jing-mei by her mom.  Perhaps you could work with Fimo or some other polymer clay to create your own jade pendant.  The Joy Luck Club movie might have several shots of the pendant and would serve as a creative reference of sorts.  Just a thought.
