I love the plush genius of Heidi Kenney (aka My Paper Crane) and she has just shared a free pattern for making your own Harry Potter doll for holiday gifts! She’s crafting this one for her mega-fan younger son… I wonder who else will be lucky enough to get one this year? Download the PDF and instructions here.
Any hardcore Harry Potter fan is familiar with the summoning charm “accio.” I spotted this adorable handmade crocheted and embroidered coffee mug cozy, in Gryffindor scarlet and gold, on Etsy in Knotworkshop’s shop. There’s no guarantee that the cozy will help your morning caffeine jump start your brain, but it will certainly add to your geek cred.
Nothing says Christmas like Cthulhu. I found this hand felted Cthulhu Tree Topper while browsing Etsy. NifNak‘s Etsy shop is full of every kind of felted wool creature and craft you can dream of, including Cthulhu ornaments to match the tree topper, or Flying Spaghetti Monster ornaments and tree toppers for the snarky Atheist in your life.
Hello, I am Renee, and I am an Angry Birds addict. Whew, feels good to get that off of my chest! When Caroline sent this adorable, angry little guy to me, I knew I had to share this Angry Birds Plushie and point you to her blog for a tutorial on how to make one yourself (and she just put up a tutorial for Angry Birds (and Pigs!) Christmas Ornaments made from Dollar Store supplies).
A good friend of mine is raising money to help a friend with stage 3 ovarian cancer. You can help by bidding on her crafty auctions for items such as this amazing Dalek or by purchasing an ornament in The Fiercegrrl Fund Ornament Shop (including some made by yours truly).
About the Dalek:
I watched Nicholas create this at the ornament party and I was wowed by his commitment to detail and his inventive use of repurposed materials. He stood next to the hot glue gun for hours, meticulously placing each layer of evergreen fringe. This piece is about 5″ wide and stands about 9″ tall. It could easily take the place of a tree topper or could function as an ornament or decor item somewhere in your home.
The Dalek the Halls will be carefully packed and shipped to you via priority mail so you can enjoy your Dr. Wholiday with it. Though this piece is truly priceless, I don’t think we should accept less than $50. Let the bidding begin!

I just recently started watching Supernatural, even though it has been recommended to me for years. I’m just about through Season 4 (Season 6 is currently airing) and have become a bit OBSESSED with the demon hunting Winchester brothers. Castiel, an angel, was introduced in the fourth season and quickly became a fan favorite.
FibreArtist4Life created this adorable Castiel poppet for Pioneer9 in Craftster‘s TV Addict Summer Hiatus Swap. The costume detail is beyond impeccable. It’s so well done and I want to hug it!
