Planet Plushies

plush planets

As we reach the dog days of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, I hope you are getting a chance to get outside and enjoy the summer nights.  If you are a star-gazer like myself, you might enjoy these plushy little planets.  They have a few advantages over real planets such as: great visibility from your sleeping bag and a lack of toxic gases and or deadly temperatures. In fact, they seem downright friendly! Even our buddy Pluto made it in!

Loki Amigurumi

Loki'd

While I don’t think Loki would appreciate being described as “cute”, “adorable”, “darling” and “huggable”; he really is when you crochet him in this cute, adorable, darling and totally huggable pocket version.  From his removable hat, to his long flowing black hair, and his familiar black and green robes, Loki can go anywhere with you to cause mayhem and disaster keep you company when you need him.

Catardis

How did I not know this was a thing? There’s a whole TARDIS Builders Forum. That is kinda rad. More specifically rad: this half-scale TARDIS user Astromark built for his very lucky cat, Kaylee. I just adopted a kitty myself (her name is Fiona and she’s adorable), and I totally want to build her a TARDIS now. Will I? Nooo. I have a bit much on my plate right now. Do I want to? Of course!

Rubik’s Cube Tissue Box Cover

Rubik's Cube Tissue Box CoverThe Rubik’s Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ern? Rubik.  It has delighted millions of people for probably like a billion years.  OK, it has fascinated thousands of people for maybe around 100 years.  OK.  Fine!  Geeks have had one on their bookshelf or desk, and for the most part been unable to solve them, and they have only been around since 1974.

Now you can show your geek pride, and stop correcting me so much, with this awesome Rubik’s Cube Tissue Box Cover by HeSewMadeThat on Etsy.
