The Star Wars cantina bookend set is currently out of stock, and at a cost of over $150.00 it’s definitely for those with money to burn.  Neatorama sells cool bookends for far less.  However, this and other examples including Lord of the Rings, Batman vs. Superman, Harry Potter and more can be ogled at Uphaa.

Longcat Fleece Scarf

Posted by Miss Cellania in Fashion on November 8, 2009 at 2:08 pm

Longcat is long, and warm, too because he’s a scarf made of fleece, felt, and polyfil. Also available in Tacgnol style (black). This internet meme is brought to you by artist Heather Dugger. Link -via The Daily What

We Can't All Be Handy With Scissors and Glue

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts on April 18, 2009 at 9:37 am

There are those who proudly put their masterpieces up on Craftster while there are those who can only ogle at them. And then there’s Craft Fail, for people who are not shamed to show their earnest, albeit unsuccessful attempts at arts and crafts. (Anyone guess what that green thing to the left is?)

Alex CF creates ghastly artifacts. Previous creations include an antique vampire hunting kit, and a werewolf corpse. His latest specimen is this rather toothy “taxidermied corpse of an extra dimensional entity known as ‘The Cheshire cat.’” It’s for sale.

Incredible Diner-Themed Room

Posted by Stacy in Arts & Crafts on January 1, 2009 at 10:36 pm

This room is amazing. It’s all handpainted by DogGrrl from Craftster. I’m extremely impressed with her perspective – it took me a few tries, but if you look closely, you can see where the actual wall ends and where her painting skills begin.


And this is genius – shortly after she posted the pictures of her completed room, she had someone gut an old, not-working Coke machine and put shelves inside. The result? Computer cabinet. Love it.


Link for more pictures, which I highly recommend checking out. It’s even more detailed than what you see here!

Make Your Own Gift Bows

Posted by Stacy in Arts & Crafts, Christmas on December 16, 2008 at 9:44 pm


I can’t sit still. Like, pretty much ever. I can sit still in a movie theater if I have to, but if I’m sitting at home watching TV or something, I can’t just sit. Which is probably why I blog. Anyway, my point is, making these bows is a fabulous thing to do if you need something to cure idle hands. They’re very, very addicting. And you’re recycling at the same time! Plus, they’re so much more original and different than anything you’ll find in a store. That’s one of my bows in the picture, but here’s the original post on Craftster that will show you how to make your own.
