Let’s Talk LOTR is a weekly series of posts, sparked by my obsession with all things Middle Earth. It’s also my way of dealing with the wait (for The Hobbit, of course). Anything Tolkien-related is fair game. Come join the fun and geekery every Sunday (or, you know, the Sundays I actually get around to typing something up)!
It’s been ages and ages since my last Let’s Talk LOTR post, and I know you guys miss it, right? Right?!
Ok, even if you didn’t, you simply have to love this one. Because it’s…
Peanut Frodo!
Ok, a little backstory on Peanut Frodo here. First, we need to talk about beauty bloggers. They are an awesome bunch of individuals who will gush over the latest summer collections with you and geek out about LOTR, all in the same sentence. As I was having a very compelling LOTR discussion with Tracy of Beauty Reflections one day, she showed me this. I think my heart stopped beating for a second there when I saw Peanut Frodo. Never before have I felt more connected to an inanimate object. Except maybe that one time when I first beheld Ellis Red, which was also a significant moment.
Anyways, where were we? Oh, right. Een though I went ahead an fell in love with Peanut Frodo at first sight, I had to question the wisdom of paying $6 + shipping for a peanut and some felt. Sure, I have my crazy moments and impulse buys, but this was pushing it, even for me.
That was a dark time in my life.
And then, Tracy, beacon of awesomeness that she is, made one for me. So if everyone could please applaud Tracy behind their computer screens…
The lifelike smile! The ring! The felt leaf! I could go on for days, but basically this incarnation of Frodo gets an A+
Thanks Tracy! I’m wondering if I should put him in my blog banner now…
See you next week for more Middle-Earth craziness,
MM
HAHAHA! I forgot how awesome he is. Look at his crooked eyes and smile! I should more hair on him too. And I tell you, finding the right peanut was really hard. It needed to be tiny enough otherwise it would have been a Sam instead. It was pretty easy find the fabric for it and the rest of the stuff too. Pretty easy to copy it.
And he better be going to college with you! 
I’m glad you like him.
Man, I should not type anything past 1:00 pm. Look’s like I can barely speak english haha. Which btw, after 1:00 pm I can’t. ELVISH.
See-again I do it. AM. AM. not pm. Looking at peanut Frodo makes me laugh too hard!
hahahah he is SO AWESOME. Thanks again Tracy
And whew, that sounds like quite a process. Fret not, he is definitely coming to college with me! and LOLOL I’m so sleep deprived I didn’t catch that. We’re both speaking Elvish most likely…
Tracy, you are freakin’ amazing!! Honestly you just went up about a billion points in my books, OMG!!!!!
Oh wait…this isn’t Tracy’s blog though LOL. YES MM, I have missed these posts (seriously! And probably my bf has too because I always shared them with him and we’d have a laugh at our geekery:P), so thank you for bringing it back – and with something like PEANUT FRODO!!! It’s just too much goodness all at once. Best thing I’ve seen in a while by far. Please put this in your header, hahahahahaha!
hahahah Tracy deserves the props. Yay, I’m glad LTL brings you and your bf much joy. I will endeavor to post another this week!
LOL Tracy is so awesome! I remember her talking about finding the right peanut…LOL.
Yup, that was another epic conversation
She is pretty darn awesome
That is so cool!!! I love his little hair and his smile and oh goodness you lucky girl you! Tracy did an awesome job!
She did, right?? I’m so impressed.
Awww that is sooo cute!
Agreed
LOL! Omg, this is the funniest/BEST thing I have ever seen! Tracy is effing awesome
I know, I don’t know who I love more, Tracy or Peanut Frodo…
Tracy made you a PEANUT FRODO? SO jealous of you, MM! You have an ORIGINAL piece made by THE Trakee. This is top 10 the most awesomest thing ever!!!
SHE DID. I feel super special. I will display him with pride forever
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
I recognize Peanut Frodo’s smiley face – it’s just like the smiley face Tracy used to have on a lipstick she used a picture of as her avatar for a while! LMAO, you guys kill me with this peanut stuff. LOVE!
LOL I knew it looked familiar!! hahaha thanks for reminding me of that
He is so freaking PRECIOUS. I am so so so excited for The Hobbit too! Have you been watching the production videos? The 7th one went up a couple of days ago!
Yes!!! I haven’t watched the seventh yet, but I will. Those production videos…they keep me hanging in there hahah
