Gaming arts and crafts?

So, I just finished crocheting a 3DS XL case (well, I still need to make some pouches or something for games) and I wondered if anyone else here like to dabble in the arts of making stuff. Not only with yarn and similar materials, but anything. Wood is good for instance. Anything you wish you could make?
Anyway, here is my sick case. And yes, those are yarn-buttons to close the flap. Yarn. Buttons.

I have long known that my creative abilities are limited to literary and digital spaces. However, I have been wishing lately that I had certain custom made pieces. Mainly I'd like a couch laptop stand, a desk that can be horizontal or slanted, an entertainment center build to house a desktop tower along with multiple consoles: wood-working things like that. Alas, unless I figure out a way to build these things out of words or code, I'm stuck buyin' stuff.

Couple years ago my girlfriend made this. It's pretty cool.

I plan to try my hand at modeling clay at some point in the near future. Once I feel I'm good I plan to make some gaming related things and make a blog at some point. Or get bored/lazy and give up before I try. Which given past history is more likely. My hope is to get good enough to make a big 1-2 foot Venusaur statue for my friend since it's his favourite Pokemon.

I also really enjoyed sewing when I took Home Ec. in High School and have always wanted to try making some clothes and stuffed toys related to gaming. It's just kind of expensive to get into to buy all the materials when most of it is going to get thrown out due to the learning process.

Dude WTF if my girlfriend gave me this I would bolt out of the house

Your 3DS looks very snuggly! I wish I knew how to crochet.

That is a cute Pyramid Head and that Cthulhu is adorable! Cute little demony thingies.

I craft video game themed goodies and post about it over on my site snackordie.com. Food is my medium of choice because if things go wrong I can still eat them. And if things go really wrong, hey, it's just food. These moogle cupcakes and Ms. Pacman cookies are some of my favorite things I've created. Also if anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them!
