Frugal and upcycling :D
Desk tidies for the kids teachers.

For the fox i used intarsia over the nose, the ears were a black and a pink triangle sewn together ... then felt eyes and nose
The hungry caterpillar was ovals of green for the body, red for the head and feet etc sewn on
A touch of all purpose glue at top and bottom edge to hold the covers onto the hotdog tins (standard sized bean tin)

Conker Cross-stitch
eviltedi reminded me that this dude really should be on here too under the game and geekery tabs.
Our gamertags were inspired by the game Conkers Bad Fur Day where this is the namesake character.
Now nearly 10 years ago I fed the picture into a cross-stitch pattern generator I got free in a magazine, gave the list of threads to my Mum, she picked them up in Glasgow and then over a few weeks this guy grew
For those that don't know cross-stitch but do know computer games, think of a building a picture a couple of hundred pixels wide, by a few more pixels deep, building pixel by pixel and that will give you a rough idea.
A slightly closer pic... I think I might be able to get a better picture now so this post may update tomorrow (daylight gets better pics lol)
