“Just focus! The Alliance said they were gonna waltz through Serenity Valley. And we choked ‘em with those words. We’ve done the impossible, and that makes us mighty. Just a little while longer. Our angels are gonna be soaring overhead, raining fire on those arrogant Khags. So you hold. You hold! Go!”

I do love me some Joss, especially in the form of Firefly and Serenity. So when I saw these fabulous Firefly amigurumi by Lucinda879 on Craftster, I just had to share. Aren’t they shiny?

Be sure to click through to check out more pics. I love how she combined crochet bodies with fabric clothing, and the finely detailed hair. And check out the realistic version of Vera, sitting quite cunningly on Jayne’s utility belt.

It’s Totoro week on Geekcrafts!  (No, it really isn’t)  What better way to get around all week than in your very own Cat Bus!  It should be noted that the bus is crocheted and fairly small, so it would help if you are also fairly small and don’t actually feel the need to go anywhere.

Etsian AmiAmigos has plenty of Totoro crafts for the Totoro lover in your house, but who could resist this awesome Cat Bus?  I know I couldn’t.

See for yourself how totally awesome this cat bus is!

This 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!

It’s a geek-culture mashup, don’t you love it? Scott Pilgrim + LittleBigPlanet = The Ramona Flowers Sackgirl Doll (omgwtfbbq so CUUUUUTE!)

In the words of the crafter Mike, owner of the Etsy shop MiCrochets:

“This little sackgirl was inspired by the SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD movie. She has a working zipper and her arms and legs move. She stands about 9″ tall. Crochet goggles and purse are removable.”

That’s some heavy duty crafting boys and girls! certainly worth a reader submission shout out.
