Do or Do Not, There is No Try.

I did try, and I failed. When I see things like this, I just feel so craftily (that’s a word now) inept. Though I have attempted to try and crochet (with minimal success), my skills are far below things like this. I envy those that are talented like this.

LucyRavenScar on Etsy, has her patterns for all 12 of her Star Wars Mini Amigurumi up for sale. For those who the universe has blessed with this sort of jedi power, these are for you.

They’re adorable.
They’re squishy.
And there is one of nearly every character.

What’s not to like?

If you’re looking for just one of the patterns check out her shop and narrow down the search.

Tutorial Tuesday: Leia Headband!

The folks over at NicNacNoodle have cooked you up a scrummy Princess Leia headband tutorial.

The best bit is ,you don’t have to knit or crochet or anything like that! Infact this’d be a great rainy day project to keep the kids busy (and keep them geeky!)

Now you can dress up as Princess Leia without using 3 tins of hairspray, WINNING!

R2I2 (Get It?)

…cuz it’s like R2-D2 but on your eye? Eh? Eh? No? Bah.

Yeah, anyway, here’s a fabulous photo of R2D2-inspired eye makeup in honor of May the Fourth. No tutorial, but come on, figure it out. Can’t be that hard! Now I just need an occasion to wear it…preferably before next May the Fourth.

Everyone needs a little Ewok now and then…

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched the Star Wars movies. Quoting lines from those movies comes as easy as lines from Monty Python’s Holy Grail. Of all of the characters, I have to say my all time favorites are the Ewoks. They’re little, furry, adorable and resourceful.
Look at this adorable little Ewok that I found on Etsy!
