Futurama Crochet Doll Patterns!
Futurama Crochet Doll Patterns!:
Hooked Hands Crochet Nibbler Pattern
Hooked Hands Crochet Leela Pattern
Okay, okay. As 2012 breathes down our neck and we think about the future, what better to get you feeling cozy about it then some Futurama dolls?
Admittedly, I’m not linking to anyone but myself (Hooked Hands) today, but I used to sell these Nibbler and Leela dolls on Etsy, and the powers that be (the lawyers representing Futurama) told me and everyone else on Etsy to stop selling Futurama inspired crafts. They cannot however keep me from giving away those patterns to you! I wrote them up and put them on my blog, so I decided to share them here. Happy New Year everyone!
1980s Film Alphabet
1980s Film Alphabet:
I’m not usually good at this sort of thing, but I looked at the 1980s Film Alphabet and could name all the movies! Yes, even Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is under “I”, for the character, I guess. This is a creation of artist Stephen Wildish. Link -via Laughing Squid

12/28/11 – Meager Scraps:
Apologies, yesterday’s strip didn’t go up until evening. My fault. But it’s up now, so click on yesterday’s strip if you missed it. :)
A somewhat bleak commentary on our relationship with pets. And slaves. And significant others.

Fort Magic, 3D Life-Size Fort-Building Kit For Kids
Fort Magic, 3D Life-Size Fort-Building Kit For Kids:
When her 8-year old son began playing imaginatively with a discarded clothes dryer box, entrepreneur Erika Pope-Gusev had the idea for Fort Magic, a 3D life-size fort-building kit for kids age 5 to 10. The kit lets children use not only their imagination but their mechanical building skills to make play teepees, submarines, pirate ships and much more.
Fort Magic gives kids the ability to let their imaginations run free. This new interactive “Fort” building kit allows kids to build a variety of structures that fit into a make-believe world that they can create all on their own.
Forts, teepees, sets for mini productions, pirate ships, tunnels. EASY, and easy to clean. NO sewing.
Thanks to Jeff Newelt for the tip!
