Linda is a 26-year old cross-stitch wizard living in Latvia. Check out her video documenting progress on a Pokemon cross stitch. When I saw it I was all “Whu? Gah! Ohh! Ahhh!” Then I thought about how my cross-stitching is bad and I should feel bad.
Check out Linda’s blog for other cross-stitch stuff as well as gorgeous shots of Latvian landscapes.
I have Pokemon on the brain lately. I recently picked my Nintendo DS up and dusted it off, then apologized for neglecting it in favor of the evil iPad. My Pokemon: White Version cartridge was still in there and I have been playing obsessively since rediscovering it. I am fairly close to “catching ’em all”.
With Pokemon on the brain, it was inevitable that I would turn to Etsy to see what awesome Poke-crafts people have come up with. When I happened upon this Pikachu Fleece Hoodie by Etsian ErosDIY I let out a little squeak of joy. (It was a very manly squeak, I assure you.) She makes her own patterns for custom Hoodies, and tailors them to the buyer. While the listing is for a Pikachu Hoodie, she can base them on just about any Pokemon your heart desires.

Ah, yes…it’s that time again: Earmuff Day! Actually, I’m ashamed to report that somehow this very salient holiday escaped my notice until this evening, when a friend alerted me to its existence. My response was, of course, to make little miniature earmuffs out of all of my leftover pipe cleaners and mini yarn pom pom balls from previous projects and go around the house putting earmuffs on everything from the owl shaped cookie jar in the kitchen to the hurricane lamps in the living room. (My boyfriend will be so impressed when he wakes up tomorrow morning and sees my handiwork! Is there such a thing as the Earmuff Fairy? I think I sense a new tradition…)
In the spirit of Earmuff Day, here are some crafty earmuff ideas from around the web:
These Princess Leia earmuffs made me smile (links to a YouTube video with DIY instructions, thanks to DeviantArt user Taniathepirate):
I want to learn how to crochet just so I can make these Spock ears (spotted on Croshame)!
I was unable to find any instructions for these Pokeball earmuffs found on Etsy.com [via monster.loveitsomuch.com], or these R2D2 earmuffs (spotted on DeviantArt from user Bee-Delicious), but they both look like they could be recreated pretty easily with some faux craft store fur and felt:
Plus, how to create faun earmuffs (thanks to Meri Greenleaf at Elfling Blog):
So, I’m dying to know: What are you up to this Earmuff Day? Any big plans?? Hope you have a good one!
Thanks to EPBOT I have found the greatest set of geeky cameos. If the title of the post didn’t make it clear I’m sure the Cookie Monster Cameo helps clear it up. Geek Goddess Creations has tons on hand crafted cameos following all sorts of crafty themes.
Look at that hand crafted beauty. She has a bunch of other fandoms as well. Mario, Pokemon, Doctor who, and a few more.
