Guest Post: Oooh, an origins story with Zelda crafts!

Hello everyone!
In case you can’t recognize the…uh…well I guess there aren’t any distinguishing features on the Internet, now are there? Well at any rate I’m Ashley,  sometimes known as Ash, long-time friend of Alex (of The Gearheart fame) and our favorite scientist of domesticology.  Oh, and also ridiculously huge fan of the professor. Is it [...]

Go Buy Nintendo Power

Hey guys! The May issue of Nintendo Power is finally out! You should totally go buy it. You know why? Because Yours Truly is this on page 95! Well, not me, exactly, but that scarf I did that everyone went gaga over. I was interviewed a while back, but [...]

Crafty Indecision

So I made another quick DS case. I want to embroider a character or item on it, but I can’t make up my mind.

With those colors it is just screaming for something Mario related. I did a mushroom on the last one. Maybe a koopa shell? Or the Mario “M”? [...]

Wonky Giveaway!

Some of you may remember in this post I was wondering what to do with all of my defective DS cases I made while learning to crochet. Friends on and offline pretty much all said have a give away. I already gave one to my very first customer on Etsy along with his [...]

Old Fashioned Mario & Peach

Morning Toast had a fabulous idea back in the comments of this post. I was planning on doing a cross stitch of these, but I lost a lot of detail when I translated the design over to little squares.

Yet another DS case!

I’m sorry if anyone is geting sick of my DS cases, but these are really fun to make!  This weekend, I was experimenting with embroidery on knitted stuff.  A little harder than I thought, but I really like the end result:

And if you’re wondering (I’m looking at you, Morning Toast), I will be opening up [...]

New DS case!

So I finally went and read a book on crochet and found out I did it ALL wrong last time. I thought it felt a little more complicated than it needed to be. So THIS time, I discovered the single crochet and the double crochet stitches. With which I made this!

This one [...]

Home is where the controller is

I went cross stitch crazy this weekend. Here is what I made!

Being a 360 fangirl, I chose the Xbox controller for this one. But while making it, I kept getting ideas for other variations. While I didn’t have time (or the desire, really) to cross-stitch them all, I did make patterns for them. [...]

In case my DS gets cold this fall….

First off, sorry I missed posting yesterday. No one told me just how hectic the life of a housewife could be!! And that schedule is continuing on through the weekend…. Wish me luck!
So here is my first attempt at making a deliberate thing with crochet:

I say deliberate because that bracelet I made [...]

My sad sewing attempt

Okay! I made a … thing! When I was contemplating what to attempt with all that fabric, I had all these grand ideas going through my head for Nintendo DS accessories. But then I figured it was all too hard, so I was going to make a pillow.
But then TeriBurrito talked me [...]
