Maniac Mansion is one of my favourite computer games of all time! Decided to make some commemorative cross stitches based on the portraits in this screenshot.
If you want to make your own touching family portraits to hang either side of your bombproof security door, you can download the patterns here and here.

Inappropriate Starches
Made this for Matt for his birthday. Think some of the colours might be a bit dark, but I'm pleased with miniTopher and MiniDeWitt.
Sorry I've been quiet, I've been working on super seckrit projects, and a baby blanket of doom.

Summer Moth
I'm digitising a load of bits of scribbly paper. Want a free cross stitch chart?
I made this for a friend last year, but figured that it was broad enough to appeal to the internets. I spent bloody ages looking for a cross stitch pattern for a moth, then gave up and made my own.
Chart is available here.

Apparently I'm on a cross stitch kick...
Here's the one I did for Matt and Jen's wedding yesterday (which was awesome)...
And here's a half-done one that I found in my grandma's house when we were going through her stuff and finished off for her birthday.
I've run out of bits of Aida now, so maybe I'll move on to something else...

Geekery
Hee, the GeekCraft group over on Ravelry crowned me 'Geek of the Week' for my Parsley Boobs rendition.
"On the crochet front, in a completely unrelated direction is Shine’s Parsley Boobs. They are based on characters from a company called Weebl’s Stuff but initially I mistakenly assumed that the characters were actually Weebles like these these Romper Room break outs. If you recognize those, I won’t be mean and put that ear worm of a jingle in your head. I was very, very wrong, though. For one thing Parsley Boobs would probably enjoy smacking Weebles around. Then again, who doesn’t really? There’s a Weebl character too though, and a Bob. But these are Parsley Boobs. I won’t front, I really know nothing about any of this, I just followed the link and watched the animated short. It’s funny. I recommend it. It’s also really, really short, like 2 minutes long short, so if you are randomly searching the forums anyway, this shouldn’t pull you away for that long. After seeing it, you see what truly impressive likenesses Shine achieved. Very nice."
I've been really super-busy lately, we've just finished running this year's Roleplaying and Wargaming Student Nationals, Tim's jetting about all over the place telling stories and we should soon be purchasing a house. Phew.
Craftwise, I'm currently getting close to finishing off Talia from the new Knitty, the bulk of which I knitted on a couple of five hour coach trips to and from London to see Jonathan Coulton's first UK gig, which of course was Made of Awesome.
Here's a photo of another Geek Project I never posted pictures of, a Black and White tribute for Alex's Yule/Christmas present:
And here's my reference screencap:
