Even if you're not crafty enough to design and print your own fabric, I bet you can appreciate the fact that others can — especially if you chill on geeksugar because I love crafty geek stuff!
CraftStylish is a new site where not only can you check out the creative handmade goods from other crafters, but you are also encouraged to share yours.
It's a fun, low-pressure place to say "look what I did!" with your hands or sewing machine and get fun, encouraging feedback from other appreciative users. CraftStylish has a — dare I say it? — social network vibe — but without the former classmate chitchat vibe.

If you haven't heard yet, a 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit Los Angeles yesterday. How did I find out? Twitter of course! Not only can Twitter inform you of what your pals are doing and help you resolve customer service issues, but it can now be a source for news and Twitter Blog is reporting that updates about yesterday's quake began coming in a whole nine minutes before it was reported on the AP news outlet, making Twitter the place to hear news first. With millions of members around the globe, and the ability to Tweet from your mobile device, I'm really not surprised! Do you Twitter newsy events, or are you strictly a social Twitterer?
An AOL mail survey has revealed that email addiction is on the rise, with email "addiction" up 15 percent from last year and it is even noted that 67 percent of people check email in bed! — Switched
A solar-charging station has been created that looks exactly like Disney's Home of the Future, with the windows acting as solar panels. — Unplggd
Or is it "Lego-ized"? Whatever you want to call it, that's the treatment that 20 famous album covers got on toy blog The Toy Zone. Being an unwavering Beatles fan (and unwavering Lego fan), I love all the redone album art of the Fab Four, especially Abbey Road, pictured here.
Each album is infused with a comical innocence, even some of the more racy covers, like the Strokes bare-bottomed vixen, which of course became a bare-bottomed Lego!
Buzz and I both love Wallace and Gromit! And what a better way for us to continue the love-fest than to play along with their crazy adventures, game style. A series of Wallace and Gromit episodic games is headed our way soon, but on which console?
Developer Telltale Games is keeping mum on that bit of info for now, but I have a feeling that this will be a WiiWare download-able title. Just a guess. Check out the super cute Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures teaser trailer, and then tell me: Are you as excited to play this game as I am? And if the answer is no, then I must know how you can possibly resist the cuteness?
Can't video game ladies catch a break? It seems like we're usually bemoaning the aggressively curvy forms of female video game characters, but that's not the case with Sony's new game — quite the opposite.
Fat Princess is causing a stir with the figure of its titular character; yes, she's also quite curvy, but not in a Lara Croft way. The object of the game is to capture the princess, who's being made heavier by her enemies, who are feeding her cake (well, at least they're not trying to say she's just "big-boned").
Have we traded objectification of women's bodies for the mockery of obesity? Is there no middle ground of average-looking bodies in the video game world?
On the other hand, is that too harsh, and is Fat Princess merely cute, as the female concept artist herself thought? Is she merely a character who looks a certain way — and if so, then is it the title that's what's really offensive?
Cupcake-master hello_naomi cannot only bake geeky Super Mario and Pacman Cupcakes to perfection, but she has re-created the Space Invaders arcade video game with cupcakes as well!
And if you check out the rest of the pics below, you'll see how she even packaged them in matching black box, black tissue and with black and white ribbon — something Yum would definitely approve of!
Thanks for sharing your decadent cupcakes with us Naomi!
