They are super cute! :)
Did I ever post a picture of the bear that got me into crocheting? I believe not... I should take one. I actually got into it when my bf gifted me a set for crocheting a little teddy for Christmas. It had everything, yarn, hook, instructions for beginners, so there was no hurdle to trying it out :)
A cat miniature and a unicorn both sound lovely, as do all the other ideas :) I know how you feel about having too many projects you want to do :D
I had my last exam for this summer today, so hopefully I can start one of my piled up sewing projects before the new semester starts...
Oh, and you never need to apologise for bringing life to the thread! All kinds of babbling are always welcome :)
Edit:
Here's the bear that I talked about in the first paragraph - it's the one on the right. The panda I made one year later for my bf as a christmas gift, following
this tutorial. He didn't turn out quite like the pictures, but then again, I tried making him bigger by using thicker yarn and I also don't speak spanish, so any tips she might have given in the video mostly didn't reach me :D
