I made a very simple game! And also fought with the android emulator a lot, and used the hardware acceleration to crash my computer. Good times. Continue reading
Baby bunny! (Amigurumi)
It’s after Christmas, so you’d think by now I’d be digging out the photos of all the projects that became christmas presents. But no, I’m going to dig back a little further to one I forgot from this summer… This little amigurumi bunny was just so charming that I decided to make her for baby … Continue reading
Warthog9’s blue gloves
John and I have been playing an augmented reality game called Ingress for some time. The reason this is relevant to this post is twofold: 1. We spend a lot of time walking around outside in the cold using our smart phones 2. We’re on the blue team. I have some lovely purple gloves I … Continue reading
Little Fox Tail
When my friend K announced that he and his wife were expecting their first child, I threatened to make an inordinate number of animal hats for the kid. The first of these turned out to be a Failynn Fox Cowl, which while adorable, is also much too big for a newborn no matter what the … Continue reading
Brownie in a Mug (or Chocolate Lava Cake in a Mug)
My sister introduced me to this brownie in a mug recipe because she is the bestest sister ever. I tried it out today and it’s everything I imagined, even if I did it “wrong.” Here’s some pictures: That’s everything you need for brownie in the mug, well, almost: 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup sugar 2 … Continue reading
My Little Robot
A number of weeks back, it occurred to me that as an adult with disposable income, I could buy a robot anytime I wanted to. So I did. Or rather, I bought a kit to build my own robot. I haven’t had as much time to play with as I’d like (the downside to being … Continue reading
A passel of penguins
Last year at Pycon, I made a bunch of teensy amigurumi penguins to give to the friends who were sprinting on GNU Mailman with me. (Small round penguin ball pattern here) Florian commented some time later that he nearly didn’t get to keep his, as his wife is a huge fan of penguins, so since … Continue reading
Leafy sweater for Baby O’Byrne
This little leafy sweater is a present for Baby O’Byrne, whose name is a secret until she makes it out into the world. She was due a few days ago as I’m writing this; I’m just waiting for the announcement of her arrival! I’ve scheduled this post to go up on May 31st, and we’ll see if she comes out before it does. Continue reading
Knitted Finger Moustache
Today’s project does double-duty as both a knitting project and a photo assignment: a knitted finger moustache and a self portrait for Active Assignment Weekly. Continue reading
Lemon Googe Cupcakes (or Lubricated Lemon Cupakes, if you prefer, but you probably don’t)
These lemon googe cupcakes with cream cheese icing come in three parts; some assembly required. Next step: testing them on my friends. Remember kiddies, experimental cupcakes are only one step away from mad science because my guinea pigs generally consent to the experiment! Continue reading
A Moose for George
My colleague George is from the lovely tree-filled part of the west coast and went to UBC for his undergrad. For some reason, this meant that when he and his wife announced they were expecting, I thought “Hey, I should make a moose for George!” And so I did, but I wound up making a new pattern to do it, so here it is! Continue reading
Plants vs Zombies Sunflower Plushie
Welcome to Dr. Terri’s maker blog! I’m going to skip ahead to the part where I show you something I made: A plush Plants vs Zombies sunflower! John’s father is a huge Plants vs Zombies fan, and I thought he might get a kick out of having a sunflower plushie so sit on his desk. Continue reading
