Craftster user Falwyn crocheted these super cute Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dolls for her kids, based on Atsuko’s pattern. Falwyn made the shells differently than Atsuko, and provided those directions in her post. Personally, I would have made the shells bigger, but all in all, this would make a great little gift for geeks large and small.
Our first Weekend 10 installment is all about everyone’s favorite Star Wars droid, R2-D2.
Flickr user sugarlipscakes made this R2-D2 cake for Dave’s 30th birthday. Dave’s a lucky man.
The Contaminated posted this incredible R2-D2 case modification. Unfortunately, there’s no instructions or further information. Not that any of us mere mortals could duplicate this amazing feat of engineering anyway.
My inspiration for making these were the “Tetrius Puzzle Game Magnets” from ThinkGeek. I had a TG gift certificate I had to spend and came across them. I thought they would be cool to put on the fridge or on my metal cabinet at work. As luck would have it, they were out of stock at the time and I started thinking… it should be easy to make something like that at home for much less than $10 for a set. So, what follows is how to make your own.

In honor of finally wearing down convincing my husband that we need a Wii, here is a funny 1.25″ pinback button from Etsy user Zelas. You can also order it as a magnet. Who doesn’t like to play with their Wii?
Cook long and prosper?
Flickr user Nix Sidhe made this ridiculously awesome Spock apron for her boyfriend. Star Trek fans who also cook, rejoice! I’m dying to know if she found fabric with a giant Spock or if she had some other clever way of making it so big.
David Pinch, a customer of the Isotope comic book shop in San Francisco created this amazing X-Men comic book quilt. There are NO details on how he did it though… are those real comic book pages in there? Are they iron-ons? Just how did he do it????
