The Socks That Should Not Be

Alligatorjuice made this Cthulhu sock monkey as a Christmas present for her friend Maria. It began as a drawing Maria made for her at work: “she does all sorts of spiffy doodles. one day, she doodled a cthuloid sock monkey, and left it on my register. when i went to cash out a customer, i saw it. i then had to explain to the customer why i simultaneously laughed, choked and turned funny colors…”. It’s amazing how this manages to be cute and a little creepy at the same time I think it’s the eyes).

Alligatorjuice expected the heels to change color after she dyed the socks green, but I’m glad they stayed red. They match the eyes, and adds to the whole evil vibe.

NES Bedding

For a second, lets take a moment out of our busy lives to thank God for Instructables.

Yes, that is what you think it is, a queen sized bed with handmade NES themed bedding!

Imagine sleeping in this, dreaming about Duck Hunt, shooting your light gun… wow… I NEED IT!!.. you need it too?! you’re in luck!! (kinda) Looks like rpaxton might be looking to make another and sell it on E-bay since the one she sold in December 2010 made a whopping:

$433.52

that’s £278

Wow… it kinda makes me hope that one day I might be able to make money out of this stuff too! HAH – NOW who’s dreaming!

Brain Bracelet

Brain BraceletWearing your heart on your sleeve is so cliche. How about wearing your brain on your wrist?

Amy Sweetman’s store, Anatomology, is chock-full of gorgeous anatomy-inspired jewelry, such as this eye-catching brain bracelet.

What intrigues me the most is the unique magnet-based clasp, which is designed to keep the charm from drooping on the delicate silver-plated chains.

This line wasn’t born out of a gothic obsession with human organs, though. Sweetman, a professor of psychology with a focus on neuroscience, created the collection as a way to heal from a devastating breakup.

Her works centers on the heart, brain, and spine, and each piece of jewelry comes with an inspiring message such as courage, integrity, or harmony.

“The Burrow” inspired Gingerbread House

I know Christmas was weeks ago, but Craftster’s Monthly challenge (due by today) was a Gingerbread House Contest. Among the unbelievable entries was mezcraft‘s Harry Potter inspired Burrow. She used two different gingerbread recipes to get different colored gingerbread, plus candy, cinnamon sticks, and cereal for the thatched roof. She even added the Weasley sweaters on a laundry line outside! I can’t get over how BIG it is, and how much detail she packed on (I still can’t believe it’s a gingerbread house)! Voting for the challenge starts tomorrow, and I can’t wait to see how she does!

Doctor Who Roundup

Happy Friday Everyone!

It’s  the very first roundup of 2011 and I’m here to show off the many awesome Doctor Who crafts around the web.

**********

10. A TARDIS Ring

Not only is this a TARDIS you can wear on your finger, it sparkles! This appeals to both my nerd side and my need for bling. Maybe if you’re lucky, your special someone will give this to you for Valentine’s Day. I know my fingers are crossed!

**********

9.  Doctor Who Charm

Was David Tennant your favourite Doctor? Then show off your love for him with this fabulous polymer clay charm. He even comes equipped with his signature sonic screwdriver and black rimmed glasses.

***********

8. Make Your Own K-9

Know what your house is missing? Your own personal K-9 unit.  It would go fabulously with your TARDIS.

They even give you directions  for LED eyes. He is absolutely adorable and I will be making my very own soon!

***********

7. K-9 Cross Stitch

While we’re on the topic of K-9, why does he look so disco? If you’re not commited enough to make your own 3d K-9, you can always make him into a darling cross-stitch to hang on your wall.

**********

6. Crocheted Sonic Screwdriver

No matter his form, Doctor Who never leaves his TARDIS without his sonic screwdriver and you shouldn’t either! It’s soft and bendy so you can easily cram it into a pocket. You never know when it might come in handy.

**********

5. TARDIS Phone Case

What better way to keep your phone looking shiny and new than a TARDIS case? It’s made of soft felt so it’s functional and fun.

**********

4. Doctor Who Regenerations Peg People

Can’t pick a favourite Doctor? There’s no need with this awesome collection! They are only a little under 3″ tall so you can have one pretty much anywhere in your house. Everywhere you look can be a different Doctor!

**********

3. Colourful Dalek Pins

They come in many different colours, so you can buy one to match every outfit! Any time someone questions you about it, you can yell “EXTERMINATE!” and see what happens!

**********

2. The Fourth Doctor Mini Watercolour

I don’t know about you, but my favourite Doctor hands down is Tom Baker. This artist has done a great job of capturing all of the fourth Doctor’s awesomeness on a tiny medium. It would look great framed on your wall!

**********

1. Doctor Who Crochet Scarf

The true sign of a Doctor Who Geek is the  scarf.

This one isn’t quite as long as most of them out there, so you will be *less* likely to trip over it.

Be the envy of your Doctor friends with this fabulous scarf, I know I’d be jealous!

Tweet-A-Pot

I don’t know why I don’t spend more time trolling Instructables for things that make my inner geek jump for joy. Instructables user, Frenzy, has designed and programmed this flipping amazing, worship worthy, friend to any technologically adept coffee addict, Tweet-A-Pot. Using an every day drip coffee maker, an alternate Twitter account, and computer know how, he has made it possible to tweet your coffee pot and tell it to brew, no matter where you are, and Frenzy is so kind as to give you a full, detailed lesson on how to do it for yourself. I find this almost as amusing, and much more useful than the other Twitter-related Instructable I found, on how to Give Your Cat Twitter Powers.
