New Geek Crafts Writer: Emma

Emma's Introduction

Hi there! You may have already seen my first post. I’m one of the new writers and you’ll hearing from me on Thursday morning. Time to formally introduce myself!

My name is Emma. I’m living with my gamer boyfriend and pet hamster Sasha near Amsterdam, The Netherlands and I’m majoring in bioinformatics. One day, I hope to cure the downfalls of old age, win a Nobel prize, become a loving mother and write a bestseller. (In no particular order.)

I’ve been a geek for as long as I remember, but only started crafting a few years ago. I hope working with all of you will give us the necessary inspiration and kick in the ass to make something beautiful! I love cooking and baking, perler beading, papercrafting, reading long, tedious science fiction and fantasy books, writing short, wacky science fiction and fantasy books, watching anime on my best friend The Beamer, going swimming and fiddling with clothing.

What will all those posts be about? Currently, I can’t get enough of Star Trek, but I also love Harry Potter, literature in general, Pokémon, retro gaming, anything made by or inspired by Japan, stuff you can eat, cartoons and everything science.

Mischief managed!

Who Said Androids Can’t Be Cuddly?

Who said androids can't be cuddly?

Every home needs a little bit of warmth. A creative, perhaps even human factor. What’s a better way to enliven your room than to cover a plain old pillow with something pleasing to the eye, Fabi Phil at Etsy must have thought.

This adorable pillow cover features Data, our favorite android and crew member of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Even though the amount of detail is well-done (notice the communicator and rank insignia!), the overall design is still very elegant. I can almost see my family sharing a couch with him!

If you still got some empty bed or chair to fill, make sure to check out the rest of the shop for more trekkie designs and some soft-looking anime and movie characters.
