What’s you weapon? Xbox 360? Atari? Wii? Sega Genesis? Playstation? NES?
Which ever your choice then Alia from Etsy has it covered with this amazing set of controller charms made from polymer clay and accented with acrylic paint.
You can get hold of these delightful items at her Esty store ‘Outpost8′ among other video game and post apocalyptic jewellery.
I recommend you give her a look as she has some truely unique items.
Lovely lady k4tr1n4 has made an amazing
new interactive t-shirt perfect for little boys and big boys alike! The little white dots are made of velcro and the super cute ghosts are made out of felt so they can be stuck and unstuck to your hearts content.
Alternatively, the girly girls out there might prefer a little cross stitch with their retro gaming… Craftster CaribouOnTheSea got a little carried away with her Pac Man scheme and made this wonderful and ‘punny’ project.
Hello! I’m Coral, another new Geek Crafts blogger! I’m an engineer-turned-web librarian living in Anchorage, Alaska with three birds, a chinchilla, and my very geeky husband. Obviously, I’m a computer geek and a fan of science fiction/fantasy literature: it’s almost required for my job, right? I’m also into tabletop roleplaying games—Shadowrun was my first love, but I’ve enjoyed everything from Exalted to Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons & Dragons—and an ever-shifting array of fandoms. While I’m not a computer gamer, I’m married to one, so some of my crafts have followed that theme. See also: weighted companion cube! (I used plastic canvas and yarn, as well as some deceptively heavy filling.)
As for my craft habits, I have a deep and abiding love of oldey timey craft styles reapplied in funny, geeky, and snarky ways. I love geeky (and subversive) cross-stitch, especially, though I’ve been known to knit on a loom, to home brew beer and soda, to cook up a storm, and to attempt inadvisable things with a hot glue gun. Learning to crochet is definitely on my to-do list, because there are so many excellent patterns out there!
To the left, you can see a QR code cross stitch I did (the first and last ever). It actually resolves to text—a quote I particularly like.
Anyway, I plan to bring the library love, along with my love of SCIENCE!, internet memes, bird nerdery, good speculative fiction, terrible vampire novels, caffeine, RPGs, and bicycles to share with you every Wednesday. If you want to know what I’m up to on a daily basis, you can find me on my personal blog (mostly library stuff, with some craft content), on Twitter, or Google Plus. (If you add me on G+, drop me a note to tell me you belong in my craft and/or geek circles! :))
Bonus points if you get the ::1 joke. ;) If not, I explained it here.
Today is the day. I can hardly believe that Minecraft is not a full game yet, but it’s true. Today Mojang AB, the creators of Minecraft, will be releasing the official Minecraft 1.0 version live at MineCon in Las Vegas. I wish I could be there. However, since I can’t be there, lets look at some truly awesome Minecraft inspired crafts.
To start things off, take a look at this Creeper Purse by Blindmoon on Etsy. Now you can look stylish and still send everyone around you into PTSD induced seizures.

Or how about this absolutely adorable Minecraft Chicken made out of Fimo Clay. StarPhoenixx from Etsy makes tons of cute clay figurines but this chicken made me squeak.

The cake doesn’t have to be a lie with this Plush Minecraft Cake by EeeBeeDee on Etsy.

We all know how much I love coffee cozies. I can’t get enough of the things, yet strangely I don’t use them on my actual coffee. Either way, you have to love this Creeper Coffee Cozy by LilacsLovables on Etsy. She calls it a “Mug Cozy” but I don’t think you can even USE mugs for anything other than coffee…right?
*****
How are you supposed to dig around in your mines without the proper tools? Well, diamonds are expensive, so how about these Perler Bead Diamond Magnets by GumballNinja on Etsy?
*****
Have you ever looked at your tissue paper dispenser and thought to yourself, “What am I doing with my life?”. Me too. You can solve that problem by pimping out your dispenser with a cool Minecraft Grass Cube Tissue Box Cover! But where could you get one? How about from sockmonkeyfun on Etsy?
*****
I bet that, like me, you don’t have any friends. What? You do have friends…can you share? No….right then. Well, since you have SO MANY FRIENDS, I suppose you must collect them. Why not add one more to the list, you friend hog. This Minecraft Pet Wolf Statue, by DandelionBlow on Etsy, won’t ever pick you last for dodge ball…again.
*****
Since you have so many friends, why don’t you marry one? All you need is a diamond ring like this Minecraft Inspired “Diamond” Ring by tinybackpack on Etsy.
*****
Alright. As usual, I have saved the best for last. This Minecraft Plush Pig is Adorable. I love it. I want to own it. ClosetMonsterstoys on Etsy make all kinds of awesome pop culture plushies, but this pig is just too awesome for words.

That’s it for this week. I’m off to patiently refresh the Minecraft page until the full version is released.
Homemade Beauties By Heidi brings us this fantastic tutorial for an Angry Birds can toss game.
This is great, kinda like angry birds in real life… means you and the kids can have a happy green-pig-smashing-time even when you’ve lost the charger for your Ipad.
I’d be so tempted to tell one of those parent lies, you know, “this is how we used to play angry birds when I was your age.” That kind of thing.
From the Sprite Stitch message boardSprite Stitcher SamR2D2 put together this sweet Mario pixel art cross stitch.
Get me a fire-flower STAT!
I love the smell of DMC in the morning ;-)
