Tanooki in wool: Michelle Rheaume's crocheted Marios

I will be straight up damned if Michelle Rheaume's crocheted Mushroom Kingdom-onians aren't the cutest Mario home-crafted toys I've ever seen. Patterns and completed custom figures are available via her Etsy account (the Tanooki Mario has since been sold), and you can see more sold-out items on her Flickr, which I'll bet you she'd be happy to craft on request.
