Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Thunderspears
My niece and nephew are obsessed with Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, so for Christmas I made the real-life versions of one of their favorite weapons from the game – the Thunderspear.
P.E.K.K.A. Halloween costume
My niece as a P.E.K.K.A. from the video game Clash of Clans. The costume is make almost entirely out of craft foam and hot glue burns.
Entbrat Halloween costume
This is an Entbrat from a video game called My Singing Monsters.
Monster Book of Monsters
My nephew loves Harry Potter and he loves animals, so I thought he would like a Monster Book of Monsters for Christmas. I made it in the form of a box so he could use it to keep his special treasures.
Snitch
My niece loves imagining that she’s a master Quidditch player and inventor of superior racing brooms, so I decided to make her a snitch for Christmas, which is also a secret treasure box. Of course, it had to be oversized, because otherwise she couldn’t keep anything in it larger than the Resurrection Stone.
Pac-Man Halloween Costume
I’m not sure why Alex wanted to be Pac-Man for Halloween. She may have played Pac-Man once or twice, but she hasn’t seen Pixels. The overall structure of the costume was her idea.
Dark Washbuckler Halloween Costume
Sam is very into Skylanders games and he wanted to be Dark Washbuckler for Halloween, who is a kind of octopus pirate.
Locutus of Borg Cross Stitch
"I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will service us.”
Minecraft Halloween costumes
My niece and nephew are very into Minecraft, so of course they wanted to go as Minecraft characters for Halloween. Alex chose to go as a wither and Sam chose to go as a mutant enderman.
Skeletor Cross Stitch
My friend and I signed up for a meditation class together. It turns out that we’re both really bad both at meditating and at attending meditation classes. So I made her this cross stitch.
Star Wars cross stitch
Apparently I’ve suddenly decided that I cross stitch now. So for Christmas, I made my niece and nephew Star Wars cross stitches.
Pearl Forrester cross stitch
I just finished my first-ever cross stitch! I think it turned out rather well.
Hobby Eagle
As soon as my niece Alex learned how to walk I decided that she was ready to fly. So for her first birthday I made her a hobby eagle. (It's like a hobby horse, but much more cumbersome.) Being the giant Tolkien nerd that I am, I called it Gwaihir the Windlord.
Star Trek Uniform
We all know that all babies look like Winston Churchill. But making a Winston Churchill costume seemed too complicated, so I decided to dress my new baby niece, Alex, as another bald icon - Captain Picard.
Stuffed Spider
When I found out that my dear friend had given birth to her son Isaac prematurely, the only thing that I could think to do with my worry for them was to make Isaac an enormous stuffed spider.
