Kittyzilla, one of our favorite plush artists, showed off two of her latest custom creations—an adorable Princess Leia and Gamorrean Guard. Both were commissions, so if you would like to have something special made just for you make sure to check out her Etsy page and make a request.

You can find a yarn version of just about anything these days, including Link’s bombs from Zelda. As mentioned in the game, “You got a bomb bag! Now you can carry and use bombs!” These bombs are soft and cuddly and definitely will not blow anything up. They even come in their own drawstring bag. My word of caution: be careful where you throw them, I could see a cat adopting them as toys.

How adorable is this crocheted crew of the Enterprise? I can’t decide if I like Data’s eyes or Worf’s smile better. The little communicator badges are also rather perfect. I’ve never wanted to hug them all so much (except Picard. I’d like to do more than hug him actually).

I love that we live in a world where crafters make not just one quilt inspired by Super Mario Bros, but three! These quilts were inspired by the old school Nintendo game, and as you can see, the medium lends itself to pixelated images. I’ve always wanted to cuddle with a goomba.

Check out two more Super Mario Bros 3 blankets after the break.

Winter is coming (well Season 2 anyway), and Game of Thrones is even better with adorable dolls. This set of amigurumi features the House Stark. Ned, Catelyn, the kids, Jon Snow, and three of the direwolf puppies. The best part about these crocheted dolls (besides the direwolf puppies) is the details. Arya comes with her sword, Needle, and the cloaks are removable.

This set sold, but the seller, LunasCrafts, does take custom orders!

Someone who is still immersed in Avatar insanity recently won this hideous humanoid Na’vi which was created by eBay seller tinytoesnursery15. The handmade, one-of-a-kind creature was created using blue fabric and a special blend of air dry paints, and sold for $165.

Etsy seller Pete Betcher is offering this handcrafted Zelda Triforce lamp which features a quarter inch wood frame stained with a light walnut stain for a classic feel—kind of like an old radio. The light measures 11″ tall, 5.5″ wide, and 3″ deep and houses a single 40w frosted candelabra bulb which shines through sturdy, translucent acrylic.

Everything is better with a little brick. Sure, we’ve got the Lego Moleskine notebooks coming soon, but this journal with stackable covers is nifty. It’s made from 5″ Lego base plates, and you can distract yourself from writing in it by building on it instead. Perfect.

Forget about hanging a cat clock with a swinging tail; go for this much cooler option. This 8-bit style NES Mario clock is handmade from wood—and yes, the Goomba is a swinging pendulum.

The ultimate source of power in Zelda looks beautiful in stained glass. Unlike the prints featured earlier this week, this symbol by Jak’s Art Glass is the real deal. He takes custom work, so if you’re interested hit the link below.
