Serenity crew amigurumi

“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!”

Firefly Amigurumi crafts 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.

Easy Crafts Wikia Interview with Bonnie Burton

Loved this Easy Crafts Wikia interview Christina Loff did with Star Wars author + blogger extraordinaire Bonnie Burton this month! It’s full of gems like this one:

EC: Which Star Wars character do you think would be the craftiest?

BB: I’d like to think that Yoda knits when he’s alone… I’d love to see the kind of craft projects Yoda would come up with. He probably has a model of the Jedi Academy made completely out of toothpicks.

That I’d like to see!

Reader Submission: Felt Space Man

Geekcrafts reader Stephanie used the Submit a Geekcraft link to show us this super-cute spaceman and rocket:

“I made this felt spaceman and rocket pillow for my friend’s 3 year old son. The spaceman is handsewn acrylic felt. “

I’m so jealous of that 3 year old! … but then that’s nothing new… I’m jealous of anyone whose biggest ethical dilemmas of the day is whether it’s right or wrong to use the cat as a pencil sharpener…

An Early Christmas Gift: Star Trek Ornaments

Star Trek Christmas tree ornament Fresh on the heels of the announcement that J.J. Abrams has officially signed on to direct ‘Star Trek 2’, I bring you another gift – Star Trek ornaments, a la Katie at Punk Projects.

Star Trek Nativity scene Delightful in their simplicity, these Star Trek ornaments go together easy-peasy-quick. Which means you can put a significant dent in that stash of bottlecaps and Scrabble letter tiles that *some* scrapbookers might have laying about (not pointing any fingers, and certainly not at myself!)

Might I add how much I love that Katie has a whole Christmas tree dedicated to Star Trek, AND a peg people Nativity scene??
