I claim Pink Dinosaur for the Thanksgiving Scarf. This my FIRST wish! Yay! I'm in Minnesota
Here are my wishes:
Arm warmers ( thin and dark and solid colored for work...my dream is black pointelle, but anything thinish and soft and rather long, OR fun ones for at home) These are the ideal, if only they weren't pink!
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=9748&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=77&iSubCat=555&iProductID=9748A Hat: I love this one
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=57584.0 Or a kitty hat (black w/ pink inside ears or just black) knit, fleece, or whatever Or a Chicken Viking hat (just cause I laugh every time I see it! I could see it becoming the official Thanksgiving Chef's Hat!)
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=21342.0 Or a Panta (any color but I'd be your best friend it was green)
Or a Hallowig from Knitty (!)
Or a baby Yoda hat for my nephew (who isn't quite born yet)
A kimono fabric hobo bag like this
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=56519.0 (I am in LOVE with the indigo/orange one!)
Or the necktie schoolbag (I love the burgundy/black/grey/paisley colored one but any colors will work)
Vintagey/kitschy embroidered or appliqued kitchen towels (fawns, mermaids, pinups, swallows, mexicana, cowgirls, pretty much anything from sublime stitching, my kitchen is green with accents in pink, orange,red, so anything will do!)
An embroidery for my bedroom, which is pink and gold; something sexy, maybe 1920's, art nouveau, vintage nude, Japanese cherry blossom, something pretty and glam (I saw a gorgeous Louise Brooks one on craftster
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=59537.0 )
or other decor items in that vein would be nice too! Some kind of cute embroidery or other wall art for my bathroom, which is kind of a modern take on shabby chic, in light blue and white: a mermaid or nude maybe?
Porn by numbers
Something vintagey looking for my kitchen that says "I'm not a fast cook. I'm not a slow cook. I'm a half-fast cook" with maybe a 1950's housewife image.
Something Omiyage
Ok, if these are too labor intensive I can add to the list. I don't embroider and it looks hard so the embroidery folks can tell me if I'm being too demanding! I don't want to be a swap diva!
Added:
Ok, here are some more ideas!
Something Day of the Dead or Loteria inspired (tis the season)
A stuffed black squirrel, either in the style of those felt monster/kitty type toys or amigurumi. I never saw a black squirrel till I moved here, but there's one on my street. His name is Jimmy. He refuses to be photographed.
a knitted uterus (cause...why not...) (especially one that could contain a heatable bag of seeds & lavender for crampish times)
the infamous lipstick girl cozy
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=39172.0monster slippers (size 8-9)
army bowl (ninjas would be even better...who doesn't need a bowl-o-ninjas?)
A cool microscope slide necklace (I'm learning to make these but haven't got it yet)
Something Bollywood related
A Gromit (knit, felt, anything) (Sean the sheep or Feathers McGraw would be fun too)
A bowl's worth of funny fruit (knit, crochet, felt, as long as it's kitschy)
Hope that helps!
