Everyone needs a Little Fat Tentacle to hang out on their desk while they work right? You can love it, and hug it, and call it georgesothothoth. Little Fat Dragons cannot be held responsible for any errant cat-consumption that might occur if you leave your Little Fat Tentacle in the same room as your kitty — they get hungry — via Etsy
Paul Michael, a jeweller, sketched up this design. I love it! It’s the perfect engagement ring for the Hutt who has captured (and frozen) your heart — via Neatorama

A knitting group said it was no longer allowed to meet at a library because its needles are dangerous
and its members are too noisy.
The Knit ‘n’ Natter group met at the library in Cramlington, Northumberland once a week to knit replica anatomical parts for training NHS midwives.
But now the library has moved and the knitters said Northumberland County Council had barred them.
The council said there was not enough room for the large group.
But a spokesman said the women were still welcome if they split into smaller groups.
Since the group began three years ago its 20 to 30 members have knitted thousands of garments for premature and sick babies.
They have also made 1,500 pairs of knitted breasts and are currently knitting wombs for midwives — via redwolf.newsvine.com

Scootaloo, while not being able to fly as fast or as high as other pegasi manages to get around town just as quickly using earth pony ingenuity. Although sometimes her still being a filly easily becomes an excuse for recklessness, but at least she has the sense to wear a helmet. Now if only the other ponies she might come crashing through would be wearing one too — via Youtube
I was inspired to make a crochet Locutus. My Locutus has a working laser on the side of his head and his arm prosthetic has a small motor that spins a claw — via Instructables

A pair of incredibly adorable octopus earrings! Grimpoteuthis, also known as the dumbo octopus, have fins on their head which look like floppy little ears. This is a detail which makes them much more endearing to you. Made from translucent polymer clay these earrings catch the light and look candy-like with their cotton candy colouring. Each octopus sits at 1 cm tall — via Etsy
This is a special order listing for one handcrafted Little Fat Cthulhu chess set inspired by characters from the Cthulhu Mythos. Each piece was individually created, no moulds or casting resins were used so pricing is based on several hours of work to create the 32 unique pieces — via Etsy
Squid Paper Lantern, originally uploaded by hine.
Derpy, or Ditsy Doo as she may alternately be called, might have a relatively drab coat of gray compared to other more vividly colored ponies, but it is the sparkle in her eyes, the warmth of her smile and her carefree gait that makes her irresistibly adorable. The fact that her eyes might not necessarily focus well all the time is merely icing on a cake, or in her case, fresh blueberries on top of a muffin. In my case it’s a relief not to go through the painstaking task of perfectly synchronising their movement.
The stand and figure are carved out of Philippine mahogany while the gears and crank are made from Narra hardwood. The figure is hand painted with enamel and protected with clear flat lacquer. Derpy stands at 5 3/8″ to the tip of her wings and the whole piece measures at 7″ long, 4 3/4″ wide (wingspan) and 9 3/8″ high at her highest point. She took 100 1/2 hours to complete — via Youtube
