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 loved this recycled cardboard(!) Periodic Table of the Elements table, made by Abigailscrafts on craftster. She shares the full tutorial on her blog!
Here is some pure awesome from Craftster user prettyinpaisly – an old school Nintendo controller coffee table. Love it!
This is a geeky craft after my own heart! Bean posted this molecular embroidered coffee cozy on Coyote Craft. This is the perfect gift for me! Um. I mean, this is the perfect gift for that coffee-addict in your life who not only loves homemade gifts, but knows exactly what is in their coffee (caffiene and water molecules are featured on the cozy).
Alice at Wonderland posted about this awesome, awesome, did I mention it’s awesome? NES coffee table by Kyle of Ultra Awesome. The best part? It really works! Kyle was kind enough to share instructions and step-by-step pictures of his masterpiece.
In honor of the little eight week old pug the hubby and I picked up last weekend, today’s post has pug crafts.
First up, a crocheted pug coffee sleeve. Bananaleg of Tacoma, WA, made this pug sleeve for one of her high school teachers that has become a good friend, and she loves pugs. She jokingly asked Bananaleg (I LOVE that name) one day when she was going to make a pug coffee sleeve. As it turns out, she had actually been planning on giving it a shot, but only for her friend, as she claims she don’t usually do well with fiddly bits.
To me, it looks like she really knocked it out of the park.
Next up is a pug hoopla. Teandcraft made this embroidery hoop for one of her friends, using a pattern from Urban Threads. Instead of stitching all of the lines, she cut out shapes of felt and sewed them down. Love that wrinkled face she was able to make!
