I posted about my favorite Star Wars ornament last year, and since then I’ve added two more blackrose1151 ornaments to my collection as a Christmas present to myself. I snapped this picture of all three of them on my tree this week – they’re already my two-year-old’s favorites too. Happy holidays, everyone!
It’s a big weekend for nerds with the movie Tron: Legacy opening in many countries around the world. Bombastitch sells lots of geeky cross stitch pieces and patterns in her Etsy shop including this most excellent Tron inspired pattern. The quote from the Master Control Program to Dillinger is sold as a PDF pattern and looks pretty easy to complete. Well, there’s a 68.71 percent chance that I’m right about that.
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.
I love it when I find something amazing on Craftster that is the crafter’s very first post! amsie hand-sewed this Wall-E Plushie as a gift for a friend. I can’t wait to see what else she makes!
