To show heart felt love, Etsy seller OneAgainSam made an anatomically correct heart. Perhaps to express other sentiments, he also felted a pair of lungs, a brain and an intestinal tract.
Artist Marcelo Gallegos has several lovely Valentine cards that stray from the normal hearts and flowers but still convey romance. This card depicting the elder god in love is my favorite. See the others at his Etsy store. Link -via Buzzfeed
Etsy seller Daniel McLeod writes “I had an old Atari 2600 that had stopped working and I couldn’t just get rid of it.” Well, of course not! That’d be like getting rid of your own mother because she got old. Classic Ataris should be cherished and repurposed, and that’s what he did. McLeod’s is now an audio dock.
We’ve previously seen a TARDIS purse made of duct tape, but this one is a professionally-made, durable polyester fake leather purse. Officially, its dimensions are 28 x 16 x 16 cm, but….
It’s made by Etsy seller Mochi Hernandez. At $250 a piece, they’re pricey, so you may prefer a TARDIS cookie jar instead.

Etsy seller Steven Shaver turns old car parts into cufflinks, belt buckles and clocks. Here’s a desk clock that is built into a piston from an old Volvo engine. Don’t worry — you won’t have to change the oil in this clock.
Etsy seller Pamela Joyce Tan-Javate has just what you need to keep warm in the sewer during winter. A true fan, she offers to make custom beanies to match the styles of different eras of the TMNT franchise.

Ladies, if you ever found yourself watching Spaceballs and shouting “I NEED those” when Princess Vespa removes her bun headphones at the beginning of the movie, well here’s your chance. Etsy seller JacquieLongLegs sells these in a variety of hair colors so you can be sure to match your own locks.
Anyone wanna get me a late Christmas present?

There’s only so much survival gear that you can easily carry. That’s what makes Doug and Chelsey Luehr’s invention so awesome. The whole thing unravels into 80 feet of 550 strength paracord that you can use to MacGyver your way out of whatever mess you’ve gotten yourself into.

Erin Pearce’s Etsy store is called “What the Hell Is This?” That’s the best possible name for an Etsy store. Or a blog. Or a restaurant. It’d be a terrible baby name, but a great restaurant name. Anyway, she sells beetles that she’s dressed up like Jurassic Park characters.

Etsy seller Oscar Robles makes excellent sculptures out of pipe cleaners, mostly video game characters, corporate mascots and figures from Greek mythology. The Pillsbury Doughboy is just kind of scary.

Etsy seller Michelle Scrimpsher makes Christmas tree ornaments that will delightfully darken your holiday cheer. This particular one pictured above has been sold, but you can find other monstrous ornaments in the NeatoShop.

Marshmallows have a rough life; their best case scenario is to get eaten. In inexperienced hands, the little white bundles of sugar can meet a fiery end, as Etsy seller Brittany illustrates with her marshmallow plushes.

This is why I like thick, soft crusts over thin, crunchy ones. They’re so much more comfortable. Extra cheese is nice for that gooey feeling around my limbs, too. Etsy seller brookish7 made this sleeping bag with all of our favorite toppings for her BFA thesis.
Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, Dr. McCoy, and Ensign Snuggles are beaming down to the planet. They will no doubt all return safely.
Check out the rest of Etsy seller Jennifer Hugon’s store, which includes critters like this in the form of Batman, Robin, Spock, Frankenstein’s monster, Cylons, and zombies.
Etsy seller Beth Tastic took photographs and coated them with resin to produce this gorgeous bracelet. It’d be a fine way to preserve special memories.

These action figures are dismounting an AT-AT, having ridden it into battle. Conan’s there, too. The Barbarian, not the comedian, although Conan O’Brien would be a good addition to this lamp by Etsy seller Zygmunt Jarzembowski.

Strictly speaking, the three zombies from the East didn’t arrive until much later, but it’s traditional to place them at Bethlehem on Christmas. Etsy sellers Robin and Zered follow in this tradition with this nativity set made from Sculpey clay.

Artist Miquette Breitenbach makes miniature “pot heads” set in tiny clay pots! They are a combination of clay, metal, and glass, and no two are alike. See a selection of existing pot heads at her Etsy store, Strawberry Anarchy. Link
Etsy seller Rebekka Ferbrache made this adorable little teapot. Do not try to stuff more than three cups of liquid inside.

You’d lose your head if it wasn’t stitched on. Thankfully, Kerri McAlprin has solved that problem with this clever necklace.

If you have a guest room, hang one of these mirrors in it. Don’t explain what it is. Deny that there’s a picture of a child and assert that it’s just a mirror. Thanks to the creative work of Etsy seller Sandy Ervin, you’ll have a good prank in the works.

Etsy seller Faustus70 started out with a Nerf Barricade. He turned it into this beauty with slats from an old wooden chair and aluminum sheeting riveted into place by hand. The scope, like the gun, is completely functional at a magnification of x3.

Babies are so cute, and young Star Wars villains are no exception. Etsy seller Octopus Tree House made prints of Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett, and a Tusken raider before they were famous.

Etsy seller ToScarboroughFair makes utterly adorable hats for kittens, but I think the truly amazing thing about her shop isn’t her extensive collection of fashions, but how great her model is. Visit her shop for more delightful images and inspired hats.

Best Quiet Book ever… and Star Wars-obsessed moms and dads will love it too. There’s even a kid-friendly version of Leia’s slave outfit. Unfortunately (or not for those of us who like to craft), it looks like Etsy seller JulieBell isn’t selling a finished version, just a PDF pattern so you can make your own. Check out the entire finished book at Julie’s blog.
Sadly, the original outboard motor isn’t inside the case. Etsy seller windchimesandmore replaced it with a small 2-cycle engine. Still, it blends vigorously and would make a fine conversation piece at parties.

Etsy seller Kevin Glenn made these two outstanding Nintendo case mods that resemble Star Wars vessels. The TIE fighter is a Nintendo 64 and a 1995 Hasbro kit. The snowspeeder is a Mini Super NES with a 1995 Hasbro T-47 kit. Both are fully functional (as gaming consoles).
Etsy seller Love & A Sandwich is currently sold out of these cute works of embroidery and appliqué, but she still has available a hoop featuring Beast from the X-Men. Still, I have my heart set on the Fuzzball hoop. Link -via The Mary Sue

In his Alternate Histories prints series, Etsy seller Matthew Buchholz imagines small, subtle changes in American history as reflected in iconic prints. Here, for example, is a picture of the massive statue Emperor Krgyyx Threatening the World. Of course, if you live in New York City, you can just look at the real thing, although the visitors’ center is currently closed for renovations. Link -via The Breda Fallacy
