Recently, I made a very fun gift for a friend, who just returned from Illinois (a corn state!). He was spending a short hiatus there, helping with family stuff. Myself and many others missed him dearly, and decided to throw him a welcome back party when he returned. I knew this was a moment for NifNak cuteness to fill his life with joy!

While away, he sent a youtube video of his adventures in the the Land of Lincoln, which featured CORN as a prop. I just *knew* that his special fuzzy bit of joy, just *had* to be corn.

I proudly present, Earl the Expired Ear.....

I also made a mini coffin to place Earl in to complete the presentation. I know, it seems silly to have a dead ear of corn, but my friend is very silly and he appreciated the (inside) joke.
