iPhone Cozy + Rocket Ship + Coraline Mystery Box

I adore this clever needle-felted iPhone cozy made by UrbanCraft – what’s even better is that she’s actually the owner of a pink Motorola flip phone:

She listed the apps on her flickr page, from top left to right:
easy wi-fi, youtube, clock, flickr
wordpress, calendar, stocks, weather
iTurn, french, iLuna, projects
google earth, sketchpad, Obama, calculator
phone, mail, Safari, iPod

I also loved her rocket ship to disguise a thermostat

and her gorgeous Coraline mystery box, including this tiny sweater, for this spring’s swap.

Nicely done on all counts!

Susan’s Top 3 Costumes

It’s been really fun writing up awesome Halloween costumes this month! Here are my three favorites I’ve posted about…

Ruth Suehle‘s amazing Red Queen costume for Dragon*Con,

thestamppit‘s super-creepy Coraline “Other Mother” costume for Dragon*Con,

and Bonnie Burton‘s fantastic Jabba the Hutt costume patrolling the halls at LucasFilm!

Other Mother Costume for Dragon*Con

Craftster member thestamppit made an ingenious Other Mother costume for this year’s Dragon*Con — love the details!

She mentioned on this “Other Mother” costume thread on Craftster that she attached the large buttons with spirit gum and she could see through the button holes… very cool. Her friend has a fantastic Bellatrix LeStrange costume as well — what a great pair of sinister characters from two of my all-time favorites, Coraline and Harry Potter.
