April Draven made this adorable Tenth Doctor Amigurumi for a swap on craftster and posted him on her blog. I am in love with him! He is even cuter than the real David Tennant! And the crocheted glasses are removable, too!
I adore this clever needle-felted iPhone cozy made by UrbanCraft – what’s even better is that she’s actually the owner of a pink Motorola flip phone:
She listed the apps on her flickr page, from top left to right:
easy wi-fi, youtube, clock, flickr
wordpress, calendar, stocks, weather
iTurn, french, iLuna, projects
google earth, sketchpad, Obama, calculator
phone, mail, Safari, iPod
I also loved her rocket ship to disguise a thermostat
and her gorgeous Coraline mystery box, including this tiny sweater, for this spring’s swap.
Nicely done on all counts!
Craftster moderator kittykill cross-stitched this tombstone for a swap. She says, “The best part about it-it glows in the dark,” and she is quite right.
My friend Heather Mann is always making great stuff (like the Star Wars finger puppets Renee posted about last week) but my favorites from her lately have to be her Yoda crafts. She made this fantastic fleece hat and wrote a tutorial for it on her Dollar Store Crafts blog — the total cost for the project is under $1!
Heather also did a Star Wars swap over at Craftster recently and made this awesome appliqued Yoda market bag in Jedi robe colors for her partner. You can use her instructions and this free morsbag pattern to make one for yourself, too.
Heather’s hat tutorial has totally inspired me to make a head-to-toe Yoda costume for my one-year-old daughter Pearl for Halloween. I’ll post more pictures when I’ve made my version — I’m figuring out the robe, snake and walking stick right now!
Can you get any geekier than carrying a bag that says “I Heart Math”? Craftster user Casstasstrophie created her own rubber stamp and applied it to these cross body hipster bags that she sewed for a swap.
Craftster user pinkleo made these lovely Golden Snitch earrings for a swap. If you don’t know what a Golden Snitch is, go be a good geek and read/watch some Harry Potter. I love that she attached the snitches to the earring wire with clear cord to make it look more like they’re flying.
