If you have a nerdy valentine who isn’t a fan of chocolate Vintage Confections makes all sorts fo goodies, nerd and non-nerd themed.
My husband and I are both smitten with the history of astronomy so these celestial sphere lollipops caught my eyes and taste buds! These are completely edible. Don’t ask me how :-)
Oh, yikes…I just couldn’t resist that pun in the title, could I? I know, I’m sorry guys. But hey, how cute is this bracelet from Atlantis804? You can choose the UK or USA versions of book covers. If Hunger Games is more your speed, she has those in addition to a few other books series that I >ahem< won’t mention because, frankly, they don’t have enough geek cred to warrant attention on this blog. But hey, if vampires or sexy Seattle billionaires are your thing, you might find something you like there as well.
Claire Chambers is a craftser and blogster keeping track of a delightful effort on her blog Absolutely Small. She has been doing this thing that is so cute you guys…felt alphabet squares. If you go to her Flickr pages you can see the full effort of alphas, but I selected the one below for our fair post. This princess is the namesake of my beloved puppy girl, and the ruling alpha female of our house, despite her 13 lb stature. Much more geek where this came from though, especially J, R, T, W, X, Y, and of course… Z is for Zelda!
So, are you like everyone else in the United States, jamming up the halls of your local Micheal’s in search of holiday craft items this weekend? Are you stretched to the max between cookie baking, merry making, gift shopping and card swapping?
Via Twitter comes this lovely, simple idea from @janineveazue about how to get your geek craft on when you just can’t fit one.more.dang.thing into your schedule.
As tweeteth @janineveazue “You were once a pile of smirking Picards, but now you are a festive holiday garland! ”
Take that, Captain Kirk fans.
If you are a dedicated, talented knitter, this gorgeous retro-ish looking Wonder Woman sweater could be yours. The Craftster page explains how it was charted it out, but that’s about it.
I’m afraid it’s not a stitch by stitch instruction kit, and it’s never going to be – I’m don’t have the skills for that. You’re welcome to share my work, but it really is a recipe, not much of a pattern.
Be sure to check out some of the pictures she’s shared of it. There are some gorgeous details in there. I have yet to take up knitting (crochet yes, knitting, no) but I may have just been inspired.
…but if you’ve got a baby in your future and an itch to knit…you can have a little knit Link in time for Halloween 2013. There is a free pattern on Ravelry, so what are you waiting for?
