…Jennifer with the Star Wars 2-person AT-AT costume.
I am totally in love with the 2 person AT-AT walker costume. Unfortuantely I cannot convince my husband to wear it with me :(

If you are in the Bay Area (or can get there this weekend), don’t miss the magnificent Maker Faire! There is way too much going on to try to list here, but check out their list of makers and weekend schedule for tons of details. Here are a couple of things I’m most excited about…
Friend of geekcrafts Bonnie Burton is teaching a rad craft demo: make a paper-bag puppet of Admiral Akbar from her new Star Wars Craft Book. I went to her Yoda doll demo at Maker Faire a couple of years ago and it was amazing!
Meanwhile, Particle Zoo will have her excellent subatomic particle plushies for sale in the Bazaar Bizarre section. Her motto: It has to be scientifically accurate, and it has to be cute. (Thanks Rachel!)
I ran across this Princess Leia Burp Cloth while searching for some geeky diaper covers. Queen DeLuxe made this awesome Star Wars burp cloth from a prefold cloth diaper, perfect for soaking up those big ones, because even geeky babies spit up. You can find this, and the matching onesie at her etsy shop.
Craftster user lightninglisa cross-stitches for the dark side. This Sith Code is for her husband’s Star Wars collection.
So I’ll just come out and say it, as far as Star Wars goes, ewoks are my favorite. Normally, I like the tough heroic types, or the super villains, but in Star Wars, I love ewoks. So when I was cruising the Star Wars Blog and saw this adorable Wicket the Ewok Amigurumi made by Angry Angel on craftster, I was smitten. The even more adorable part? She crocheted this cute little guy for her own cute little guy, and you can recreate it with her patterns!
