Craft Friday: Quilting and math, together at last

Monica — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:32:07 +0000

This is a dragon curve. I don’t understand any of this Wikipedia article. Last night, I had a dream I argued with a former co-worker over independent clauses, so this isn’t my strength.

Craft Friday: Don’t stand in the fire

The Deathwing Cake is not a lie.

This cake from The Domestic Scientist makes me want to slay dragons.

Craft Friday: Wine bottle lights

Monica — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:30:32 +0000

I’ve seen this project in a few places and I keep meaning to try it. The Flying Spaghetti Monster knows I have enough empty wine bottles lying around. I’m surprised the lady who rifles through our garbage hasn’t staged an intervention.

I could light my apartment -- and yours -- entirely with wine bottles. Photo from MyThirtySpot.com

Christmas ornaments make a great gift, or you can hang them on your own tree if you’re protective of your crafts.

Craft Friday: Like these cookies, you will

Nothing says Christmas like small, green Jedi masters. Yoda was actually the fourth wise man. He brought the gift of whoop-ass.

JustJENN recipes has lots of geeky baking projects. This one can be modified to make ornaments with just about any cookie cutters you happen to have.

Craft Friday: Double yoke egg magnet

Monica — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:30:08 +0000

Hungry now.

This magnet is available from Scarf it Down on Etsy. I linked to a shrimp scampi scarf from this shop a few days ago. I’m not sure I’m eccentric enough to walk around in that scarf, but this magnet is pretty cute.

Craft Friday: Angry Birds, Unplugged

Monica — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:00:30 +0000

We used to make video games out of real-life fun, like 8-bit Nintendo’s Rad Racer, which came with special glasses that let you re-create the experience of driving drunk.

Now we can make video games into real-life games, like this setup for Angry Birds that uses painted cans.

Craft Friday: Wrist-mounted crossbow

Monica — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 13:00:05 +0000

You heard me. I said WRIST-MOUNTED MOTHERFUCKING CROSSBOW. With awesomesauce.

This makes me wanna roll a d8 for damage. Also, the graphic is really dirty if you look at it long enough.

Craft Friday: Someone’s gettin’ a spanking

Monica — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 13:00:20 +0000

This kitchen rack from Craft is suspended by two belts. It holds utensils by day and dispenses sweet justice by night, when your whiny ass is gonna get somethin’ to cry about.

And I know what you were thinking, gutter brain. Sheesh. I can’t even run a family blog around here.

Spanking not included

Craft: Birthday Card with Flowery Shit

This one’s mine. If you needs flowery shit, I gots flowery shit.
