Puts the "throw" in "throw pillow"

This is one mean looking pillow, people. You just put your head down for a nice nap and wake up with your head partially decomposed. Say hi to Boba Fett while you are down there!


See, the sarlacc is bragging about nabbing Boba Fett (even though he eventually got away). I guess he (she?) is waving around the helmet to show the other sarlacc's how awesome he (she?) is. Are there really other sarlaccs? I'm not even sure. And if there were, do you think they would brag about what they got to eat? I wonder if they make miniature sarlaccs for garbage disposals. I haven't had much sleep, can you tell?Made by ScumptiousDelight for the Stitch Wars show. Stay tuned!

Don't step on me!

Check out this adorable bath mat! I found it on Craftster the other day, and I just can't stop thinking about how cute it is! The little curl is just too adorable.


It's crocheted out of strips of cotton fabric, that's why it is so big. Then the eyes and mouth are made out of felt. I'm not really sure how waterproof it is, but I know that I want thirty of them laying on my floor. I was also considering making a Pikachu--maybe a Pikachu all curled up and sleeping or something? Or maybe a Ghastly or Koffing or something, they probably don't get as much love as their brighter colored Pokemon friends.

If you want to make your own, go to ragrugcafe.com to learn how to make this kind of rug! Then all you have to do is find the right colors, glue on some eyes and wham! Your very own pokemon. This would also be a good present for those people who hate pokemon, since they can step on them all day. Stay tuned!

Don't lose your head!

Check out this awesome fell beast! I don't think they get enough love in the Lord of the Rings universe. Made by the same girl who made this dragon I have already talked about. The dragons themselves were cute enough (and inspired by the Reign of Fire dragons, so they were already kind of nerdy), but now she modified her pattern to make a fell beast.


Look at his little teeth! Isn't he so adorable? I like the little spikeys on his back. And everything is poseable! There are wires running all through the neck and wings so that you can reenact your very favorite scene from Lord of the Rings. As long as it's not the part where he gets his head chopped off.

You can pick up the pattern for the original dragon over on etsy, but as of right now there is no pattern for the fell beast. And check out even more pictures over on Craftster! I think I might need one of these to guard my Lord of the Rings DVDs. Anyway, stay tuned!

Grr! Argh!

Alright, just a quick note about this adorable little embroidery project I found over on flickr by TiLT creation!

Dinosaurs? Awesome. Firefly? Awesome. I love the colors she used on the dinosaurs, they are adorable. And I love the childish looking scirbbly font, too. It looks like something Wash would totally draw. Anyway, just a quick note! Back to my own embroidery.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, everyone! I hope everyone is having a good day, and I hope that no one found out their father was some sort of evil galactic ruler who was trying his best to kill you and all of your friends and then proceeded to cut off one of your limbs. You know. The usual.

A Question

Okay, everyone, I have a question for you. You're walking down the street, minding your own business. You are going to get some cake from the bakery, and it's a lovely day outside. Right as you are turning on to the main street, this van drives past you and parks right in front of the bakery.

What do you do?

Yes please

Yes I would like this please thank you very much. How awesome are these bookends?

Oh Georgy. I promised you I would never give you money ever again after those awful prequel movies and your childish, petty refusal to put the original THX editions on DVD, but now here you are with this awesome bookend set and I'm ready to fork over some more cash. Of course at $190 these bookends aren't an impulse purchase, but they look awesome and I covet them. They sure as hell wouldn't be holding any prequel DVDs, not in this house no sir, but I have some lovely Star Wars books that would look mighty nice.

Anyway, these don't even ship out until April 2010, so I hope no one is too excited about these. I guess it gives you enough time to start saving up your pennies though. Stay tuned!

Sure, why not?

Why not have the original cast of Star Trek knitted up as meerkats?

Well, there's just no reason now, is there? So here you go! But maybe the original cast isn't your thing. It's too corny. Well, we've got that covered!

Here's The Next Generation. I like the Reading Rainbow guy's eye thingy. Alright, alright. You don't like the Next Generation either?

Have some Janeway. (She's a little hard to recognize without that awful hair).
Or maybe Chakotay!

Yeah. I have no idea why they are meerkats, but I think they are pretty cute. Plus they are knitted, and I have to give props to anyone crazy enough to knit something like this. My brain is almost ready to explode just thinking about how difficult this would be to do. Anyway, if you want to pick one of these little buggers up, just go to Niftyknits etsy site! She seems to be ready and willing to make custom orders, too, so feel free to ask for a Tom Paris meerket but as a lizard from that one episode where he turned into a lizard and had lizard babies with Captain Janeway. Yeah, that's right.

A Different Kind of Baby

Alright, everyone, I've talked about some cute stuff for babies before. But those were for human babies! And human babies are chumps. Now, if you were looking for something for a Klingon baby, well, that's pretty hardcore. And there are some pretty hardcore baby items available for a baby like that. Check it out:
The baby cradle--although I would have assumed Klingons just leave their babies on rocks or something, to toughen them up.
A baby walker.

A rocking horse--which is probably my favorite. It looks wickedly evil.And finally a rattle toy.

Now these, of course, aren't really available on the market, because you know if they were some crazy Trekkie parents would go and buy these for their kid (wait--are Trekkies allowed to mate? What's that? Only every seven years? Alright then). These are part of an art gallery show by Shi Jinsong. Well duh! Do you know how fast those things would be covered with fingerprints if they were real? I mean, come on. Stay tuned!
