I have things on my list like Egyptian mythology monsters (Ammit and the Set animal), obscure 80’s horror movie creatures (Critters 1&2), and a bunch of Japanese plants and festivals and flowers… Once I’m on my computer tomorrow, I’ll pop the whole list in. 
For now, please enjoy my happy Rocket Raccoon bookmark, which I made during a library craft night, self-modifying a perfectly benign woodland creature pattern. 
This is another fun thing to make with felt badges!

For the curious, my “Theme” list:
Please List at Least 5 Themes for Your Partner to Choose From:
-Egyptian mythological creatures, favorites including:
- Ammit the Devourer (particularly the cute little version from “The Kane Chronicles” books, examples here and here – not my art)
-The Set animal (from the same book series; so hilarious, and also not my art, but here’s a cute one)
-Weird/creepy-cute things in general: 
-Alligator Loki!!! So cute! I like the realistic version as well as various cartoony/cute versions
-Crites (the titular fuzzy eating machines from the 80’s horror film “Critters” and its sequels) – I like the first and second movie the best
-Xenomorphs (from the Alien movies) & Predators (from the Predator franchise)
-Skeletons and skulls (either traditional or sugar skull style) – I live with a life-sized medical skeleton named Hezekiah, who dresses in fancy clothes and gets different hats for different holidays/times of the year
-Zombies (both the drippy, Night of the Living Dead kind and the cutesy, cartoony greenish kind)
-I also particularly like things where traditionally scary creatures are doing cutesy stuff, like having tea or petting fluffy animals, etc.
-Natural forest-y and flower things and creatures:
-Mushrooms (particularly toadstools and Death’s Caps)
-Hanging wisteria
-Hydrangeas (particularly the lavenders, greens, and blues)
-Red and orange poppies
-Luna moths
-Rabbits/bunnies (particularly lops; I used to have a white short-eared lop with grey ears, nose, and tail)
-Water Lilies and weeping willows
-Japanese things (I used to live there!):
-Torii shrine gates (the red-orange ones)
-Koi no bori (fish kites for Children’s Day celebrations)
-Kodama, Soot Sprites, and Dust Bunnies from “Princess Mononoke,” “Spirited Away,” and “My Neighbor Totoro”
-Tanuki and Kitsune from Japanese mythology
-Japanese festivals/celebration icons, like the Rabbits in the Moon for Autumn festivals, and the Tanabata trees for the Star Festival

- Cats
- Bob’s Burgers
- Dinosaurs
- Cute animals or creatures (koi, snail, bunny, anything cutesy)
- Art supplies (like paint brushes or glue)
- Cute monster (love Yetis & cryptids)
- Anything random and funny, like a piece of toast, eyeball, milk carton, rotary phone, whatever)
- Halloween or Christmas themed.

I need to remember to sit down tonight and fill out the Q officially and send it in! 
I noticed there was no info about size preferences on the questionnaire blank. I figure I might add that to mine, and message partner’s for it if they sent theirs in earlier. I have seen some super cute tiny ones, but maybe people prefer a palm-sized one or something different?

Ya, I’m wondering about the size too. Some of these themes would be very challenging to get into the small space I was imagining, lol. Great lists but I better get out my magnifying glasses, lol!

Good point. I was envisioning something palm sized but yes touch base with your partners to make sure!
Also for anyone sitting on the fence - you have 2 more days to sign up!

OK Partners are posted at the top and here.
I added everyone to their partners questionnaire instead of sending new msgs. if you are going to converse with your partner please start a new msg so you aren’t copying me and their other partners!

Had a pretty rough week, and when I got home from work yesterday I needed to stress-craft something! We were going to the Ice Cream Museum (more of an interactive art installation, really) to celebrate a friend’s 40th birthday that evening, and I decided I wanted a little felt ice cream cone to wear in my hair! I cut everything twice in case I mangled something, and while I was on the couch stitching, my husband leans over to look and goes “How many do you have ready to make?” I told him “Two, but I’ll only have time to maybe finish one.” He says adorably: “Oh, I was just thinking that if you were going to wear one, I should wear one with you.” 🥹 So cute. I told him if he was okay with me hot gluing his, he could have one.
I managed these two pins in an hour and a half fit of distress-fueled therapy crafting! Mine has a bobby pin sewn on and bent into a curve, and I used a straight pin to attach his like a boutonnière. We got lots of compliments, and we enjoyed being dorky and matching.
Bonus action shot in the Sprinkle Pool!
