Amigurumi Fuzzy Soot Sprites

Amigurumi Fuzzy Soot SpritesThis week, as far as I am concerned, is Totoro week on Geekcrafts.  (Please note that it is not in fact Totoro week on Geekcrafts, but we can let that slide.) These amigurumi Fuzzy Soot Sprites are adorable.  You probably have a few soot sprites lurking around your house right now, and what better way to let them know they are welcome than to give them some friends to socialize with.

Now, thanks to Niki P of NikisKnerdyKnitting on Etsy, you can do just that.

Take a look at the Sprites!

Totoro Cameo Ring

Totoro Cameo RingSometimes even a manly man like me lets out a squeal of glee upon discovering some awesome trinket.  This was one of those times.  I was introduced to the brilliance that is Totoro fairly late in life, as in earlier this year, but that doesn’t take away from the appeal.

This small cameo ring was made by Etsian munieca.  It’s so cute it hurts.

Check out the Ring!

NERV Pendant

NERV PendantFor the uninitiated, NERV is a fictional organization from the Anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion.  It was one of my favorite anime’s growing up, right alongside Ninja Scroll and Macross Plus.  Then an obsessed friend took all the fun out of it.

Still, when I saw this NERV pendant by LatentArcadia on Etsy, it brought back some good memories of a simpler time in my life.  When I could spend an entire day watching anime without the worry of bills, kids, and work.

Go check out this awesome pendant!

Pokemon Polar Fleece Hoodie

Pokemon Polar Fleece HoodieI have Pokemon on the brain lately.  I recently picked my Nintendo DS up and dusted it off, then apologized for neglecting it in favor of the evil iPad.  My Pokemon: White Version cartridge was still in there and I have been playing obsessively since rediscovering it.  I am fairly close to “catching ’em all”.

With Pokemon on the brain, it was inevitable that I would turn to Etsy to see what awesome Poke-crafts people have come up with.  When I happened upon this Pikachu Fleece Hoodie by Etsian ErosDIY I let out a little squeak of joy.  (It was a very manly squeak, I assure you.)  She makes her own patterns for custom Hoodies, and tailors them to the buyer.  While the listing is for a Pikachu Hoodie, she can base them on just about any Pokemon your heart desires.

Check out the Pikachu Hoodie!

Anime Girl Cross Stitch

I’m always amazed at the patience of cross stitchers. I did a small, simple robot photo booth cross stitch and it drove me crazy. So when I see something as big and gorgeous as this my mind boggles! The whole thing is 140 x 180 stitches, on 14 count cream Aida. HistoricalNeedle sewed this over a couple of months. She based it on an Anime style picture she found on the web (if you know who the original artist is, feel free to post it in the comments). HistoricalNeedle plans on getting a Gothic style frame made for it, so I can’t wait to see that!
