There was a time when I posted a lot from Instructables, and now I am remembering why. While searching for some cool geeky baked type things in honor of Thanksgiving I ran across Lemonie‘s VHS Toaster. This thing is awesome! He basically cannibalized and mated an old toaster and an old VCR to turn it into a toaster that knows how to make a statement (and toasts “VHS” on to the toast). The best part is watching the video and seeing the VHS Toaster shoot toast out of the video slot.
HaikugirlOz posted this completely amazing Doctor Who Crochet Set to her flickr stream and it defies words! This has got to be the best example of The Doctor’s hair I have ever seen crocheted, and one thing I really love about the Tenth Doctor is his awesome hair! The set includes not only The Doctor, but a TARDIS, a Dalek and cute, cuddly little Adipose, perfect to snuggle up to while watching the Tenth Doctor’s final episodes!
Craftster user Id sewed these cool Resident Evil felt hand grenades. Best part? “Original plan was to use metal keyrings for the pull rings, but I wanted something I could safely hurl at the TV when stupid things come on.”
If you live in the Washington, DC area, stop by DC Craft Mafia’s Holiday Heist tomorrow. There will be over 30 vendors selling their crafts, workshops, a raffle to benefit the Washington Humane Society and a dog adoption event from 3-6pm.
Much to my dismay, I still haven’t seen Where the Wild Things Are, but I’m enjoying all of the crafts to be found. For costumes, just search Craftster or Etsy for a ton of great ones.

Crafter extraordinaire Vickie Howell recently made this Game Boy stencil art piece for her son, who loves to play video games. She used a stencil from Ed Roth’s Stencil 101 Decor collection and freehanded the Mario image over it — she shares a complete tutorial for making your own version.
This isn’t Vickie’s first Mario-inspired craft project — check out her pattern and tutorial for knitting up a pair of Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers as well!
