Question Mark Keepsake Box...with a new twist!

nobody@vox.com(lostmitten) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:42:03 -0700

Hi all!

I have been very busy lately coming up with brand new ideas for my shop, which I will be posting over the next few days! The first brand new original item that I have created is made from Perler Beads, and is a new take on my Question Mark Keepsake Box ... this time with a new twist!

And here it is! The Question Mark Keepsake Box with Interchangeable Powerups!

This keepsake box comes with interchangeable power-ups to attach to the top of the box! Each power-up can stick inside the top of the box lid - there is a Red Mushroom, a Green 1UP Mushroom, a Fire Flower, a Coin, and an Invincibility Star. You can display the box normally without the power-ups with the question mark to the front, or flip the box around to the side where it looks like Mario has already hit the block, and place a power-up in the top of the lid! This is a versatile keepsake box with six different looks in total!

As for the box itself, it is made to look like a Question Mark Block from the Super Mario games for the Nintendo. It has a lid on the top that has two layers - the second layer allows the lid to fit snugly on top of the box. You can keep anything inside this box (it would be great for your gold coins!) and it would look great on any desk, shelf, bedroom, office, you name it!

I hope you enjoy my newest geeky creation! I'll be posting more very soon, too!

Lets change hands and oh boy... what a waste

nobody@vox.com(♥ Skull Babii Fe ♥) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:24:33 -0700

Lately I have been taking full advantage of my state ID at Gamestop. I can trade as much as I please without the hassle of asking for someones help.(It feels nice lol.) I have gotten done with Final Fantasy: Crisis Core and if you haven't bought it yet then you should. It's a keeper. With that said I should be called a hypocrite for I traded mine in along with other games and shockingly my

original psp

original psp. This decision became when I saw there would be no other games to my interest this year. Also the other reason how Sony almost obviously ditched the original psp and start updating the psp slim with new features. I decided to trade-in my original psp and wait next year to buy me the psp slim.

With all the trade-in's I have made I was able to get the Nintendo DS lite.

Along with two games. One of the games I have choosen was a very poor choice. I bought Pokemon Diamond and Rondo of Swords.

Rondo of Swords is the bad decision of the game I had picked. Dependong on what you like it would be a good game but it is way to hard.

I thought I was the only person thinking thinking this way but it turns out, while I was searching google, that other people was saying the same thing! They really over thought on this game. So now I'm gonna have to trade it in now. Such a waste...

my wii did not sacrafice in vain! I made sure of it ;)

Before MGS4(Metal Gear Solid 4) and DBZ:BL(Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit) came out I was dead broke and really wanted the games. I realize then what I was playing less of and what was collecting the most dust in my room. That was my Wii. Even though I had SSB: Brawl it wasn't enough for me to hold on one system. I decided to sell my wii to someone and that's what I did exactly. The only thing sad is that I can't play my DDR anymore for now but that's ok. Nintnedo plan to build a new model of the Wii and I plan to buy that one.

I now have MGS4 and DBZ:BL. I'm very satisfied with the games I got. MGS4 is amazing though I have yet to beat due to my job and me being busy a lot with other things but when I do get to play it I play for hours. DBZ: BL

dragon-ball-z-burst-limit.jpg

is very short and that saddens me. It's sooo good that you don't want it to end. The game only has 3 sagas and online so I can't wait until they make another one. It can't get here fast enough!. :) If anyone wants my PSN ID let me know and send me a message.

If you can even believe this I still had money left over that day and I reserve Soul Calibur 4 and Little Big Planet. I even more panties for myself! They are sooo cute!

Untitled MMO for Win Vista, 360 & PS3

I only bring this up now because everytime when I have a clear head I think of this game that has so much chances of showing up this fall. The only full proof I have is this video and this picture.

I only hope to gawd that SE says something about this at E3 this year. If anyone knows more please let me know.

Two New DS Knit Cases!

nobody@vox.com(lostmitten) — Tue, 27 May 2008 17:55:18 -0700

Green Nintendo DS Case

Hi everyone! I've made two more Nintendo DS cases - made to fit a Nintendo DS Lite video gaming portable system. They can also fit a variety of other things since it is a zippered knit pouch - your camera, iPod, cell phone, make-up, or anything else you would like to organize or transport around with you!

The first case that I made is made from green Merino wool - the lining is super cute and has little pigs! The fabric is straight from a fabric shop in Kyoto, Japan.

Green Nintendo DS Case

The case is knit by hand and the fabric lining, as well as the zipper, are all sewed by hand. On the front of the green case, there is a cute 1" pinback button attached, featuring a cat jumping into the air, like a Jack-in-the-Box (a cat in the box?) :)

The green knit case is available for purchase in my Etsy shop for $15.00.

Green-Gray Nintendo DS Case

The next case, also available in my Etsy shop, is made with a beautiful shade of green-gray wool, 100% Merino wool. It has slight hints of gold and blue in the sunlight - a great natural earthy tone called "Treebark Mix" by the company. Similar to the other cases that I create, there is a Japanese fabric used on the inside featuring swimming turtles on navy blue. The fabric and the zipper are sewed by hand.

Green-Gray Nintendo DS Case

There is a kawaii button on the front as well, a smiling pink tofu :) Super cute!

The green-gray knit case is available for purchase in my Etsy Shop, also for $15.

New Nintendo Needlepoint Magnets!

nobody@vox.com(lostmitten) — Wed, 07 May 2008 19:27:30 -0700

Mario Magnets

I've created some brand new items for my Etsy shop! These are all completely handmade, fully hand stitched, needlepoint fridge magnets! I have brought back my Tetris fridge magnets (which were featured in the wonderful Craft: magazine online blog a while back!) and added some new ones to my shop as well, including a Mario set, a Bubble Bobble set, and a Pacman set!

The Mario fridge magnets (pictured to the left) feature a question mark block, a red mushroom, a green 1up mushroom, a fire flower, a star, and a gold coin - all in fridge magnet form!

Pacman Magnets

The Pacman fridge magnets are a set of six needlepoint magnets: Pacman, Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde (the four ghosts), and the dark blue ghost that Pacman can eat.

The Bubble Bobble / Bust a Move fridge magnets are also a set of six, that feature four of the enemies (including the super scary invincible white ghost that comes to get you after a certain amount of time...if you played Bubble Bobble as a child, I'm sure you were pretty scared of him, too!), and the two dragon heroes (Bub and Bob).

Bubble Bobble Magnets

All of the fridge magnets are completely stitched by hand and the back of the character is covered completely with felt to hide all of the stitches. Attached to the felt is a sturdy magnet, allowing you to use these on your fridge, your locker, or anywhere magnetic!

I hope you enjoyed viewing these as much as I enjoyed making them! More to come in the works...or if you have any requests, I can pretty much make any video game character, and I'm always happy to take custom orders! :)

GTA IV: First impressions

nobody@vox.com(Jeff D) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:49:37 -0700

The graphics are outstanding (and I hear the PS3 is even better.) Best I've seen on a game since Grand Tourismo, and GT does not render humans, just cars and landscapes.

The game immerses you completely. At about 10:30 last night I realized I was hungry. Then I realized it was because I hadn't eaten in more than seven hours (between work and then gameplay.) It took that long for me to even remember.

Online play seems to be pretty good, but people are still spending more time exploring the world and trying different weapons to really focus on team play. I think it will get better with time.

The game is typical GTA, you can do or kill anyone for anything. However, the game does a great job of getting you into Niko's head. He is a ruthless bastard, but he came to America because the thought he could get away from killing. I save my rampaging for online play.

I'm 17.85% done so far.
