Internet Plushies

It’s no secret that I’m addicted to pretty much every social networking site out there (Twitter being my personal brand of obsession).

Another one of my addictions? Pillows. Or at least things that are snuggly.

Nerdcuddle on Etsy makes adorable internet themed pillows. Now if someone asks if you have a Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or Skype account you can just hold up your pillow and show which networking site is your personal addiction.

If networking sites aren’t your cup of tea, she also has a Zelda Triforce pillow and an Android themed pillow.

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…)

Creative Cross-Stitch, Nerdy Needlework

While I haven’t really done any cross-stitching since about the age of eight, I can appreciate it as an arts-and-craft-form. Done properly and on an interesting subject, and it can be pretty damn impressive. (My mother once re-created this iconic La Dame aux Camelias Mucha poster with spectacular results. Just wish I had a photo to show you!) Anyway, tangent aside, I have found some awesome cross-stitch patterns on The Crafty Companion’s Etsy shop. She creates and sells patterns on an array of geek themes from Doctor Who to Game of Thrones, Firefly to Harry Potter. Very cute, not to mention reasonably priced. ($3 per pattern seems like a good deal to me!)

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%.)
