Ryan Gosling Meme for Crafters

Holy crap, readers. Did you all know there's a Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" tumblr out there just for crafty types? It's called Handmade Ryan Gosling and you need to go read it. I previously thought Feminist Ryan Gosling was the pinnacle of this meme, but now I see that I was wrong. Damn, Ryan Gosling is a gift that just keeps on giving.

(If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just know that there's a whole world of blogs out there that imagine what adorable things Ryan Gosling would say if he were your boyfriend and started every sentence with "Hey, girl". Gotta love the internet.)

I'm catching a train back up to my editor's house today for more fine-tooth combing of my book, but I couldn't let this go unblogged. Can you blame me?


On that note: Hey girl, have a great weekend!

    AAAH, this is hilarious. I saw the first one and cracked up; my husband stepped on a pin (in the dining room!), and it broke off in his foot so he had to have it cut out. While I stayed home and sewed madly for a final. He will NOT let me forget that.

    it's not really the right topic,but i was wondering if you could do a quick post on pinking shears. i bought some and have used them on an already constructed garment, but i was wondering if they can be used to cut the pattern in the material in the first place or not.

    I never understood the "handmade Ryan Gosling" you just now made it a little bit more clear for me, but for the most part I am still lost. Sometimes I do wish he were my boyfriend on the side...

    How about sitting on pins? I do that to myself unfortunately. So sit on the couch at your own risk. OUCHHHHH!

    I love the library version of 'Hey Girl' since I work in a library. But to see there is a crafting version just puts a smile on my face.

    Hahahahaha!!!! This website is fabulous! Oddly enough a guy I just started dating said a COUPLE of those things last night and my mouth was just hanging open. Pretty sure that means he's a keeper, or just laying it on REALLY thick for the honeymoon phase of the relationship! Lol
