Sugar Skull Cameos

Docnessie over at Craftster recently posted these Sugar Skull Cameos.

“They seemed to be missing a little something, so I painted them to somewhat resemble sugar skulls, and even added a hint of glitter to the hair of one Smiley I have to practice painting on something so tiny, but I am happy with the first try. Any Advice on what kind of paint to use is appreciated, all I had lying around were citadel paints I use for miniatures!”

They are very pretty and I’d love to have one myself. I’m thinking I may need to try making something like this myself!

Avengers Cocktails

Ok, so these recipes may seem only one shot of Sambuca short of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, likely to have you unconscious and shaking in a corner before you’ve even got to the God of Mischief, but how cool is the idea of Avengers-themed cocktails?!

Avengers Cocktails - Consume with care!

Consume sensibly. You might have to save the world later, and you don’t want to be too mashed to get your suit on.

So i herd you liek mudkip

Are you looking forward to the new Pokémon games already? I can certainly say I’m thrilled with every bit of leaked news from badly-scanned Japanese magazines! The recent addition of Mega Evolutions throws something new to the mix and I can’t wait to find out awesome the even more powerful Pokémon will be in the games. As an European, the worldwide release date makes me a happy panda. To ease the wait til October, here’s a Pokémon craft.

While hats are not entirely in season, you’ll never know what the weather is going to be like in September, so you might want to start stocking up on them. (I mean, can you ever get enough?) I would surely recommend this Pokémon-inspired fleece hat by Higginstuff. For this beauty and more fleece hats and plushes, I direct you to her etsy shop.

Crochet Wakko Amigurumi

Wakko amigurumi doll

Back in the day we used to be big fans of the TV cartoon show “The Animaniacs.” They were just so wacky and the dialogue was so clever, we were always giggling, if not outright guffawing, even as adults.

So imagine my joy at finding a Wakko amigurumi doll on Craftster by BunnieBard, complete with pattern. I think my husband would love to have one of these for his office.

What about you? Did you watch Animaniacs when it was on (back in 1993-1998)? Which character was your favorite?

“This was a real launch of a life-sized duct-tape iron man at Leonardo’s Basement.” I just wish I could find more information about this online, so I can give credit where credit is due.
