I’m not going to say that the creations of Your Organ Grinder aren’t a little on the weird side, because they are. I mean, they’re felt organs. But they’re also kind of rad. Particular favorites here include the brain necklace, brain hairclip, and nose embroidery hoop.
I’m here to shake my fist at ya’ll and tell you to get off my lawn as I reminisce about how amazing Buffy the Vampire Slayer was. WeeLittleStitches offers a variety of fantastic cross-stitch patterns that traverse all genres of geek. In fact, it was hard for me to select which one to feature in this post (I was really close to Golden Girls because dang, that was a good show) but it is really, really hard to beat Buffy (yes, including 6th season…I don’t get the hate!). Important note- Dawn has been left out. Heh! 
I wish I had a tutorial to offer you, but I don’t. Here’s the (awesome) scoop anyway: This dude, Sean, has an apparently crafty and fabulous mother. He told her that he and his girlfriend were into Plants vs. Zombies shortly before Christmas. She made them these delightful stockings. He shared the story on Reddit, and it was subsequently tweeted by PopCap’s Director of Editorial and Social Media, Jeff Green. Who thought they were socks, before being corrected by much of the twitterverse. And now I share it with you. Enjoy.
Okay, so you definitely couldn’t wear this Blood n Stitches zombie slip dress every day, but it’d make a great costume. You could probably whip one up quite easily yourself, if you’re so inclined. Also, how entertaining would it be if you just wore it around the house? You know, to the laundry room and to answer the door when the UPS guy comes and such…. Maybe it’s perverse, but I feel like that’d be highly amusing.
The other day, after something like twenty minutes talking with a coworker, I noticed that her cameo necklace was no normal cameo. “What a cool necklace!” I exclaimed, “Is that Cthulhu?” She laughed and said, “No, it’s just a normal octopus.” (A third coworker was confused by the exchange.) It was this one, which is adorable, right?
Anyway, after browsing around, I’ve decided that Miss Atomic’s shop is just the sort of thing that I need to bring to the attention of the Geek Crafts community. I kind of like cameos, or, at least, I feel like I should. But I’m not drawn to them enough to ever buy one. Or I wasn’t, until I saw this shop. Not only does she have weird skull cameos, owls, octopodes, and skulls-and-crossbones, but she also makes some of her cameos multi-colored, like this flamingo one. So cool!
My name is Spyral. I’m pretty much a mad scientist of crafts (think Young Frankenstein not Human Centipede).
This is my first post on Geek Crafts. It was supposed to be posted yesterday but better late than never. I am wicked excited to be contributing to Geek Crafts! I love odd things therefore, a lot of my work is reflects that in some crazy way. Since I am weird, and slightly narcissistic, for my first post I thought I would share some of my more abnormal creations with you all.
This is a cephalothoracopagus monosymmetros necklace. If you’re a medical geek you know that cephalothoracopagus monosymmetros means “connected at the head and thorax.” It is one of my tattoos. I like to think of them as a symbol of sisterly love. My sister and I are connected at the head and heart. Cephalothoracopagus monosymmetros is on display at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, my Mecca. If you don’t know about the Mutter Museum I believe it’s a crime against humanity not to click this link
This pattern was originally posted on the AntiCraft. While I was knitting it I got lazy and made a few changes. I also turned them into heat pads.
This is a tiny Old Gregg that I knitted for my little brother. I think it came out just awful but my brother likes it.
This is a Fetus Coin Purse. I found the pattern on The AntiCraft. I love that site! It is really creative.
I joke and call this piece my masterpiece. It was my first time knitting with multiple colors. It’s a Cephalothoracopagus monosymmetros bag.
