She's Crafty!



Erin M. Riley's pop culture tapestries are intricate and moving. She deftly captures intimate snapshots of time in a woman's life. Many of them are NSFW, and some are quite disturbing, but they are all beautiful.



This gorgeous embroidery is just too amazing for words. Which is good, because my high school French is très rusty.



I'm spending far too much time thinking of awesome badges to make for all my friends. Because, seriously, this is cool!



I'm just amazed by this magnificent Mario Maps cross stitch piece. While I appreciate all forms of fiber arts, I have a special love for cross stitch. It appeals to my need for organization and precision. In my time, I've completed several large-format cross stitch projects. I know the amount of work that goes into them.



I mean, the details are just wonderful! I know pixel art lends itself quite easily to cross stitch, but this is so much better.



You know, perler beads kinda get a bad rap. I get the impression that some people think they're kitschy and mainly for little kids. But once in a while I see something that stops me in my tracks. And it's this ridiculously detailed Legend of Zelda Triforce Montage by NestalgicBits. In fact, his whole store is filled with amazing game-related items that bring a whole new level of amazing to crafting with perler beads.

She's Crafty

I'm continually amazed at the awesome crafty items I find pretty much every day when cruising around the Internet. There are some super awesome things out there, being dreamed up by folks far craftier than I.

This adorable Mario sweater vest 
I mean, if you're going to go geeky, go the full measure with this fantastic hand-knitted Mario sweater vest by the Happy Seamstress.

Loomi light
I'm kinda new to the Loomi phenomenon, but this light might get me to buy some of the cards.

Minecraft shoes with a surprise!
These would be the perfect shoes to wear to PAX, which is less than two weeks away!

Video game quilt
I could easily spend hours on Miss Carlotta's blog. She's got this amazing quilt, which was her first quilt!

Pacman stocking
She also has several knitted stockings. Like this Pacman stocking. I'd love to see this in red and green.

Reusable snack bags - in FIREFLY fabric!
Wait... there's Firefly fabric? And someone is making cool reusable snack bags with it? NEED! Random Sacks of Kindness (isn't that the cutest name?!) has loads of other really cute bags as well. Worth checking out for planning your back to school gear.

Crochet cup holder
I was looking for some clever and crafty coasters to use with our fancy new gaming table when I came across this really creative and clever crocheted drink holder on Flickr.

Beautiful felted slippers
I have some felted slippers a friend made me and I love them. I was looking for some to buy for my mom and sister, and found these lovelies. I love the flowers. 

Super sweet cupcakes
I love these sweet little felt cupcakes by Coconut Lane. I just love the little bead sprinkles.

Sweet Dreams with this adorable boat house mobile
And last but certainly not last, this adorable mobile by A Continual Feast. She's got several different mobiles, and other goodies, but I like this one the best. Makes me think of have good, adventurous dreams.
