For $2 a piece I figured they were nice just to have around. They're both from the '70s and in really good shape.
I've had a few weird, video-game based toy ideas floating in my brain for a while, and I figure I could adapt some of the animals here once I get the construction basics down. I'm especially in love with these guys:
The March Hare from Alice in Wonderland- which I'd probably make look slightly less crazy.
Not sure I'm really digging raccoons but I love that it's tweed. There are cute elephants and a squirrel I have my eye on. Just need to buy some polyfill.
As for the needlepoint book- my sister has been doing embroidery for a bit and I'm loving her results. So first I'll probably see if she wants it- if not, I'm planning on learning and would love to try some of the designs. Some are fairly epic.
And some are just ridiculous.
