Yoshi Knits
Craftster User silentblair posted this adorable Yoshi hat on Craftster. This hat was made for her 4-year-old daughter, but I think I might have to consider making one for a certain Yoshi Loving man in my house. I love how she has Yoshis of different colors around the hat, it’s a perfect way to personalize the hat for anyone based on their favourite Yoshi colors. Silentblair used the chart generously shared by fellow Craftster user teriyakimoto for her design. Check out Teriyakimoto’s Keyhole Scarf too, it makes literal use of the keyhole, making it a very unique geek scarf that anyone would love.

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
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!

PokeSoap!
Geeky soap is a great way to add some variety to everyday cleaning routines. DeviantArt User fuzzykittn posted these glycerine soap pokeballs. Just like starter pokemon, these soaps are available in three different types (scents, in this case). I choose you, Coconut! Check out Lime Tree Candles and Soaps for more selections, including Pacman soap!

Epic Mario Quilt!!
There is no other no other word for this mario quilt than EPIC!… and as someone who works with teenage children I use that word sparingly!
cheerupem0kidx0x started the Mario theme room thread on craftster back in July 2010! and since then has been keeping us updated, as she created the bob-omb lamp, pipe waste paper bin, NES cartridge clock, papier mache fire flower, papier mache boo… just seriously… there’s no way I can list everything this amazing geek crafter has made just go look at the thread.
Since there was lots of work in progress included on this thread, it’s a treasure trove of how-to’s, tutorials and fabulous crafting ideas (you will NOT BELIEVE how easy it is to make .a bob-omb lamp!)
I think we can all agree, her son is a very lucky guy!
The stuff she made is great, but the quilt is just AMAZING (and I’m not one for quilting…. at all… if I’m going to sit at a sewing machine for hours there’d better be a dress at the end of it!) It’s a result of 5 months work and it’s paid off big style!
