Just a little Link

TroubleT — Sun, 20 May 2012 00:36:55 +0000

Who isn’t addicted to the Legend of Zelda? It has worked its way into the ranks of Best Video Game Ever list. Link has slashed his way through countless enemies and into the hearts of many of us. While doing a bit of geeky research earlier today, I found an etsy shop that is sure to please any Zelda lover.

Grandma Thunderpants! has an amazing collection of poly clay creations including this Link necklace. Give her etsy shop a look for some incredible creations!

Pikachu Cross Stitch Necklace

Charlotte — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 10:31:13 +0000

Take a look at these cross stitch necklaces made by starrley which are featured on her Stitching blog, Stitching Shop. From the artist herself:

“This is a handmade, by me, Pikachu cross stitched necklace. It is on an 18″ black velvet cord. It is stitched on plastic canvas, so it is very durable. The back is covered in soft felt. Pikachu measures 2″ tall, from top of the ear to bottom of the head.
Cute, fun, and awesome! Take your adorable Pokemon everywhere you go.

Area and state regulations do not allow the Companion Cube to remain here, alone and companionless.

And the cube is not companionless once you crochet this mini weighted cube and Chell! Chell even has her own Portal Device too. Designed by Nerdigurumi, the pattern is free. It uses various colors of worsted weight yarns and some wire for Chell to allow her to be posable. Nerdigurumi warns that this pattern is a bit more than beginner as it requires some ‘cobbling and fiddling’ to assemble.

Paculele

TroubleT — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 11:49:52 +0000

In the world of Geekery, there’s embroidery, a variety of foods, poly clay, unbelievable yarn creations of every sort and the list keeps going. However, I’ve never in all of my days seen the combination of Woodwork + Music + GEEK!

May I present the Paculele! It’s a ukelele with the body as Pac Man and the tuner is Blinky the ghost! I think I might have found the perfect Holiday gift for my ukelele playing Geek Husband!

You have got to check out celentanowoodworks’ other creations on Etsy. I think my all time favorite is the Roc Em Soc Em robot version.

The Cake is Not a Lie

Lady Dragonsinger — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 07:00:56 +0000

It’s a hat! Yes, Nimcraft has created a free pattern for a knitted Portal Cake Hat that is absolutely adorkable. This hat, a recreation of the chocolate cake in Portal 1 and 2, is also a quite delectable head warmer during cold months. Knitted in worsted weight yarn, Nimcraft gives suggestions for making it in other weight yarns as well. Not familiar or a fan of the game portal? That’s okay, I don’t think there’s too many people that don’t like chocolate cake anyway!

ABC (Angry Birds Coffee)

Noodle — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:03:53 +0000

On a recent weekend jaunt to Dublin, my lovely friend Gill was served this cup of amazing in The Art of Coffee, a little coffee shop she stumbled on. Gill assures me it tasted as good as it looked, once she had worked up the nerve to drink the masterpiece!

Coffee shop owner Ruslan recently won the 2012 Irish Latte Art Championship, and so is going on to represent his country in the World Latte Art Championships (who even knew such things existed? Wow!) so I’m sure we all wish him luck.

Today I would like to show you the amazing work of Carrie from Etsy. She makes the most amazing beaded bracelets that must take so much time to make. She mainly makes Pokemon jewelry but also has:

I highly suggest you check out her shop and get yourself some geek chick jewelry.

Not your average egg

TroubleT — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 18:27:59 +0000

I just found these absolutely adorable egg cozies over on Craftster! What a great way to decorate an Easter egg without having dyed finger tips and impatient little ones who just want to hunt eggs rather than carefully dipping.

Balatong discusses briefly how she made them and it is a great starter project for anyone who wants to step slowly into making and creating their own amigurumi. The only difference would be the stuffing inside, polyfil or egg?

Ideal for the Cave

TroubleT — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:26:40 +0000

We all dream of our perfect geek cave. It would have the perfect gaming set up complete with comfy seating, great sound system and of course, tons of storage for our games, books, and other assorted fun bit. What better way to combine that storage with a nod to one of the most well known of early video games, Pac Man!

I found this awesome bookshelf over on Etsy. Go check out LightYourselfUp’s shop!
