Latch Hooked Childhood Cats
Morgan Gesell made this clever series of latch hooked pieces called, “Cats from my Childhood (with name tags).” I’m also pretty impressed with her “Dream Catcher Lawn Chair.”
Crochet AT-AT Walker
My friend, Kristin, pointed me to this awesome crochet AT-AT from Flickr user, mjade19. There are some nice in-progress pictures in her stream as well. Looks like Han and Chewie are having fun! Related: Star Wars AT-AT- Wedding Cake Star Wars Amigurumi Greedo Amigurumi
How-To: Backyard Astronomical Observatory
Instructables user and aerospace engineer maewert shows us how to turn a backyard shed into a personal astronomical observatory. By modding the roof of a shed so that it can slide off (either manually or driven by a garage door opener), you too can be ready for celestial observation at a moment’s notice.
DIY Designer Armchair
How’d you like to spruce up the place a little bit without breaking the bank? Check out furniture maker Nicola Golfari’s “P.3” armchair made from hardware store-sourced parts. Built using chrome plated round tube, an anti-fatigue mat, and some zip ties, this easy-to-assemble lounger will add a touch of modern to any decor.

Leading off this week’s MAKE Flickr Pool round-up is amateur chemist Hayden Parker’s high-speed shot of a glass blown apart by the high explosive silver acetylide, which Hayden prepared himself. Don’t try that at home, kids.
Adventure Time Doll
Adventure Time is one of our family’s favorite shows to watch together (we can all gut laugh together!) so I’m loving this rad Finn doll from Kittyzilla.
