I love the glow one, but think maybe we should leave it for a bit later, it'll give anyone who hasn't used it a chance to buy/try it and come up with some ideas.

I think it's coming down to the One Game thing or the Stuffies, both of which are great ideas! I'm wondering if the Stuffies would need a bit longer than one month to do (for stuffie noobs) though. And if we go One Game, which game would it be? I'm happy to write a ton of game names down and pick it out of my Hat if necessary!

Quick vote, I think. To the Black Mage Mobile!

I hope we'll keep biscornus in the possibility pile, though! It's just fun to say. Biscornu. Bis-coooooooorrrrrrrrnnnuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

If we set a limit on the size of the stuffie/soft toy then a month should be fine.
Seriously if you can back stitch and straight stitch you can make one of these. They can be super simple or really detailed - it depends on the style.
I'm going to post some links to tutorials/free patterns to show you how easy it is.

"Easter" Birdy - basic stuffie with good instructions and photos on how it is put together.
Zombie - super simple. Everyone can do this one.

If you have Facebook I have some photos of some I made a few years ago which are 6-8".
I have no idea if that link will work so here's the best image from the bunch as well.

I have around 50 Pokemon amigurumi patterns to make some plushies so I'd love to do that, but I can't quite get past the one-game challenge, although I'd rather know what the game would be before we start. I CAN'T CHOOSE :confused:

Technically, a biscornu could be considered a "stuffie," yes? It is stuffed... :grin:

lol that's a unique point of view but a valid point ;)

It's a tight race between stuffies and one game - this is kind of exciting :D

Understatement! I need this vote to go one way by the end of today so I can get the thing officially started!

Alright - one game challenge sneaked in there at the end.

So, is there a game in particular anyone wants to do, should I choose one, or shall we pluck one randomly from the ether? Failing all those, I'll ask my daughter, she's usually good for random answers :good:

I think you should take suggestions and then draw randomly from those.

My vote is Donkey Kong Country!

Good idea!

Everyone, let's have your One Game suggestions. I'll collect em up and randomly choose one!
