Last night I dreamed it was Christmas
Eve and I hadn't updated my blog since February. Do you think my
subconscious might be trying to tell me something?
I wrote an entire informative,
hilarious and frankly
legendary post for today, and then something was wrong
with Chrome, and I promptly lost it forever when I
hit publish, so let's make a long story short. I've started creating
one Pinterest pin a week, and I'm going to try to share what I make
with you every week, in hopes of getting back into the habit of
posting regularly. A few of you have stuck with me loyally despite
the fact that I now go a month plus without making so much as a peep.
Truly, I am an ungrateful jackass. Let me make it up to you.
This week's crafts are all peg people.
Here in Canada, you can get wooden pegs from Lee Valley for around a
quarter each. The deals are better in the States, but we have free
health care, so let's call it a draw.
First up, my peg superheroes. These are
for my little nephew. I like Superman the best, but the Hulk does
make me giggle. I should probably have given him nipples.
Next, here's an example of how to make
peg people slightly more useful. I put an eye hook into the top of
each head, and now we have Thing 1 and Thing 2 Christmas ornaments
for my boys. The feather hairdos are a little unruly, but that's the
way we roll around here.
These are my current favorites. My
brother (the doctor) was a big Star Trek TNG fan back in the day, so
I made these for him. Let me begin the nerd critique process by
snottily pointing out that Data is at least three shades too green and that
Worf's sash is so obviously non-regulation, it looks like something
that was generated during the biweekly holodeck malfunction. Burn!
More to come—I'll be back next week,
I SWEAR!
Happy Easter!
**One quick note. It seems Blogger is now inserting links to ads when I use words like "deals" and "next"(??). Please ignore them--I have no interest in selling you anything!!**
