Plants vs. Zombies Plushie Patterns

Chainsaws are so 2006. Today, we all know the best way to kill zombies is with vegetation.

Thanks to Plants vs. Zombies, gamers can rigorously train in simulated zombie combat. But what to do when the undead really do show up on your lawn?

Plush artist Alix Banegas has you covered. At her Etsy shop, Arixystix Creations, you’ll find detailed patterns for making your own felt army of Sunflowers, Peashooters, and WallNuts.

Even better, she offers pre-assembled kits, including wool felt, clay pot, and detailed instructions in a spiffy zombie box.

Now you have no excuse not to be prepared when the zombies come a-knockin’!

Frankenstein Monster Mary Jane shoes

Are the seasonal pastels and flower prints not really your cuppa tea? Then slip on these Frankenstein Monster Mary Jane shoes for a touch of creepy-cute springtime style.

Made by Lindsay, you can snag these at her Etsy store Em & Sprout, as well as other adorable designs featuring vampires, hedgehogs, and peanut butter and jelly.

Felt Pac-man Headband

I interrupt our regular blogging schedule to bring you so much cuteness I’m a gooey mess. (Sorry for those of you who aren’t baby people.) You can buy this adorable felt Pac-man headband from Etsy seller UniqueRabbit. Unfortunately, the baby is not for sale. I don’t think that’s legal anyway.

Arcade Game Brooches

“You call that a video game? Back in my day, we didn’t have swanky consoles to play games on. No sir! We had to go to a special place called an arcade. And we didn’t have no fancy things like ‘save points.’ You had three lives, and when they were gone, you had to start over! And did I ever tell you about the time I beat Ms. Pac-Man? It was the night of October 2, 1984…”

Does this sound a bit like you? Then perhaps you should pick up one of MafiosaGrrl’s sweet arcade machine brooches. They’re custom-made from felt, so you can model yours after your favorite retro arcade game.

Pin one to your jacket, and wait for the compliments…or the questions from young’uns who have no idea what the heck you’re wearing.

Spock Felt Gadget Case

Help your electronic gadgets live long and prosper with this highly logical wool felt case featuring Star Trek poster boy, Spock.

Made by a mother-and-daughter team, Sarah and Luiza, the talented pair offers numerous geeky gadget cases through their Etsy shop Nokomomo.

Star Wars fans can rock a Stormtrooper design, while Nintendo loyalists can show their pride with colorful Super Mario Bros. motifs. If I had an iPhone, though, their awesome David Bowie case would be mine in a heartbeat.

Gnombie Fever

Is it spring yet? Here in the Great White North it certainly is not, but I’m sure it will be soon (that’s what I have to keep telling myself). In the meantime, I’m stuck with what I can only assume is gnome fever. I’ve been looking at all sorts of gnomes on DeviantArt, remembering the days of green grass and fresh warm air, but I was stopped in my tracks when I caught sight of Deviant user Jevist’s Gnome Family Portrait. I love so much about these little plushie guys, from their goofy eyes and poofy beards to their detailed belts, but what I love the most is how Gnombie fills my mind with terribly wonderful ideas of a world full of tiny undead gnomes, complete with their colorful pointy hats. Don’t stop at just the family portrait though, continue on to read about Gnibble, and don’t miss Voracio, the gnome eating Alien!
