Handmade Hunk (an apology)

I felt bad for not being more romantically themed. I’m afraid the whole flowers and chocolates thing just isn’t in my genetic make-up. But Handmade Ryan Gosling is totally in my realm of interest, and so to apologise for my hard-heartedness, I present to you the yummiest meme on the internets. I realise you will have seen it before, but that’s really no reason not to see it again. Enjoy.

(If anyone manages to craft themselves a Ryan Gosling, please write a tutorial…)

He Sees You When You’re Crafting

He sees you...

I know this has been rattling around the interwebs for ages now (three years in internet time is rather more like three decades in the real world), but, astonishingly, it has never made an appearance on Geek Crafts. Until now, that is.

Thus may I present to you papercraft ceiling cat. Per the directions, I whipped one up myself and was highly amused by the results…though it would have been more effective if I’d actually managed to stick him on the ceiling. I’m quite short, even with the aid of ladders. (Note: for a slightly more impressive result, I’d suggest enlarging the design by about 25%.)

Wheaton’s Law Cross Stitch

wil wheaton cross stitch
When it comes to actors there is one fine young man whom my BF and I share a great passion for- Wil Wheaton, however I’d like to point out for entirely different reasons! So when I stumbled across this amazing cross-stitch, by geeky-licious Craftster Menolly07, I couldn’t help but smile.

With Christmas just a few weeks away a Wheaton inspired gift could be the way forward but if cross stitch sends a shiver down your spine here is another project you might enjoy.

Crafty lady Futuregirl made an amazing miniature Wheaton clown sweater and has generously supplied full construction details. Alternatively you can buy a man-size version from stupidnfunnytshirtgifts.com

 

Tutorial Tuesday! ‘Why Not Zoidberg’ Cross Stitch

I ‘m a self confessed thread head, and I’m also a meme addict. Clearly so is craftster user OmegaChicken.

Not only have they stitched up this meme-tastic “Why not Zoidberg” cushion, but they’ve also shared the cross stitch chart, so we can all have geeky soft furnishings of our own …  whoopwhoopwhoop!!
