Now THIS is how nerds invite people to their wedding! (via The Gloss)
This is a perfect storm of nerddity: Lego spaceships inspired by Star Wars’ X-Wing and thus made in the shape of the alphabet. Seen above, of course, is the letter M. You can see the other 25 letters that Mark Anderson made here on his site.
Happy Monday! What did you do this weekend? Did it involve… crafts?
Oh sure, crafts are good in theory. They usually involve skill to some degree, give us an outlet for creativity, and when you’re done you have something to display in your home or give as a gift to someone you love. But as with all things in life sometimes people can get a little overstimulated with crafts. Like, for example, buying a book on knitting your own Royal Wedding, including templates for knitters to add themselves to the event.
“Oh, Yarn Prince William, Yarn Kate doesn’t understand you like I do! In yarn.”
Of course the crafters themselves are not always the only ones affected by their lopsided work. Sometimes loved ones also pay the toll, like these 20 Sad Etsy Boyfriends. The jauntiness of their crocheted caps belies the haunted pain in their eyes.
Update: To balance out my earlier smack talk I figured I should link this page on how to felt the Angry Birds. They are, in fact, adorable.
