« Previous EntriesYoshi Scarf
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010I like Yoshi as much as the next guy, but the last thing I’d do is wrap his freakin’ tongue around my neck. Not because it would be gross, I mean, I’m sure it is, but that tongue has the strength of an the anaconda and Ice Cube put together. He is a dinosaur after [...]
Stitch Lamp – Stitch Your Own Lampshade
Monday, March 8th, 2010Lampshades. Guh. I’ve seen my fair share of fancy ones, but never when I actually needed one. I’d request a time table from IKEA of how much time I’ve spent in their lighting section in search of a lampshade that would be mildly suitable for my taste and needs, but in the end some things [...]
Fetus Popple
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Oh dear God.
Craftster thebeatcowboy made this fetus model for an embryology class, and instead of just keeping it simple and creepy like most fetus replication models, she kept it old school and made it into a freaking Popple.
I made this 3 years ago for Embryology class, and I was inspired by the Knitted Digestive [...]
Valentines For Valentine’s Idea
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be just for mushy gushy couples. You love your friends, don’t you? Well… you at least like them a little bit, right? Then show them! Take Valentine’s Day back from the man and use it as one more excuse to party and have fun with the people you like most, [...]
Mario Tote Bag
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Guh, had to get away from all the food stories before I had a feeding frenzy on my living room furniture. Plus, this Mario tote bag is much cuter than the bowl of salsa I plan on eating any moment now. And depending on how much shipping from Brazil is, Mario is going for a [...]
Take It Back, You Bitter Cross Stitch! Take It Back!!!!
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Stitching Flickr-er cross-stitch-san has made a very bold statement against Tetris and I’m not sure if I can accept it. Sure, Tetris can be a real bitch, but when it comes down to it, I can never really have enough Tetris in my life. I’ll let this one slide considering all of your geeky craft [...]
DIY Scanimation!
Monday, January 11th, 2010Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! Look what we have here. A sweet tutorial, brought to you by Paul of Dude Craft, of how to make your own Scanimation. If this as a card doesn’t knock somone’s socks off, I don’t know what will. Actually, I do. A check for a million dollars. [...]
Yarn Head
Monday, January 11th, 2010I missed the memo that yarn balls were back in style. I also missed the memo that I went over my text allowance this month, so what’s new? My phone bill, that’s for sure. Yikes.
If balls of wool sitting on top of your head (and I don’t mean a hat) is your kind of thing, [...]
Mario Sweater Vest
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010So our dear model here may not be presenting this Mario knit to its fullest potential, but I’m sure there’s someone out there who could pull it off. As a matter of fact, I can name two ladies that could. Maybe that’s the x-factor. A lady. Anywho, a lot of love was put into this [...]
Bowie Cushions
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009I love David Bowie’s The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust an unhealthy amount. I’d go check my play count on iTunes but there are just some things you just don’t really need to know about me. And while I’d love to curl up with one of the greatest albums ever (since I can’t snuggle [...]
Cthulhu Santa 2009
Monday, December 14th, 2009Continuing the Christmas tradition of Cthulhu, Amy Rawson has needle felted yet another Cthulhu Santa. Do… do you hear that? It sounds like sleigh bells… and screaming children. Take note of the puppy head cookies and someone’s leg sticking out of Santa’s bag of gifts. Uh, I hope Santa Cthulhu doesn’t drop down my chimney [...]
Mushroom Origami
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009Granted I watched this without sound, so I’m not exactly sure what this guy sounds like, but I’m pretty sure it’s Jeff Goldblum. I never knew he had such a way with paper. Stunning, Jeff. Absolutely stunning. Come to think of it, now I can never watch this video with sound. Must…not…ruin…the dream!

Tetris Dress
Monday, October 26th, 2009Need a Tetris dress? Yeah, me too…
Yeah, that’s all I got. You see, writing about how much I’d love a Tetris dress and how badly I want a Tetris dress doesn’t necessarily bring me any closer to owning a Tetris dress. I mean, unless someone really wants to make me a Tetris dress. Eh? Any [...]
Super Stitched Mario Bros.
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009Ahhhhhhh!!!! Look at all those stitches! There’s so many! Like, 50,000 stitches many! Oh, how I’d love to snuggle up on the couch right about now with a ginormous piece of fabric and just cover the whole damn thing in Mario, or in this case, the Super Mario Bros. 3 map. Super props to Craftster [...]
Snuggle Up With Pyramid Head – Oh The Pain!
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Did I really just say that? I did… and now I feel nauseous.
Immediately after seeing this, I fumbled about for an explanation, any explanation, as to why any healthy, functioning human being would want to wrap themselves up in such horror. So, of course, I asked Sarah.
Sarah: why would someone want to sleep with that???
pyramid [...]
Cthulhu For Babies?
Thursday, October 1st, 2009It was just last week that the internet warned us of the dangers of Cthulhu stalking our children online. Yet this week we’re encouraging new parents to wrap their baby up in it? What’s with you internet? You need to make up your mind before I decide to give the epitome of horror and carnage [...]
Super Mario Bros. Chucks
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009Super Marios Chuck Taylors? Oh man, covering these isn’t even an option. It’s an obligation. But that’s fine, I happen to like them both. You know, the details on not only these shoes, but ParadoxArtistry’s other goods are pretty fantastic. I have a hard enough replicating my own characters, I can’t even get down with [...]
Star Trek Baby
Sunday, September 6th, 2009One crafty Craftster mama sewed up this kick ass Next Generation Starfleet uniform for her little daughter to wear with dad (and his captain uniform) for Halloween. I know nothing about this family, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to save the world. Or the whales. Yeah, probably just the whales. What? It didn’t really [...]
Screw Keys!
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009Guest post by Zane!
These screwdriver key chains are perfect for all those building/assembling emergencies that you run across in your day-to-day life.
Now to complete the set, all I need is a hammer key, and an Allen wrench key. Then I’ll be able to put together furniture like nobody’s business!
Buy some screw keys here for only [...]
Companion Cube Cabinet
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Guest post by Zane!
LiveJournal-er James White set about building his very own Companion Cube cabinet, and posted photos of the entire ordeal to his journal. The result? Awesomeness.
It’s the writing on the interior of the cabinet that really makes this perfect.
Extra points for baking a cake for the photo shoot.
View the whole painstaking process on [...]
