Settler's of Catan

I had this great idea today!..well, I'm really probably in over my head, but am excited to try it anyway. Do any of you play Settler's of Catan? ..well, I do, and it's probably safe to say that I'm addicted to it. Anyway..I decided to combine my love of crafts, with my love game! We'll see how it turns out in a few days. I am still trying to decide what to use for the game pieces (ie:settlements, cities, knights, roads, number chips, etc. - Maybe I'll check out US Toys) I think I'll cut paper for letters/number tokens.. then it'll all be velcro'd so the tiles can be rotated..my idea is to make a board I could take..on vacation so I don't lose my real pieces.(It's a pretty expensive game..and I'm pretty protective of it!) I need to get some sheep fabric still..but know exactly what I'm getting.
