Hot off the presses, this Doctor Who set of hoops by Chelsea Bloxsom from Love and a Sandwich was just finished yesterday. I love all her hoops made with fur and felt, and her numerous pieces of awesomeness all over the internet, but these deserve special mention, because I came across them this morning in my Facebook feed, when my sister shared them with my niece. As a newly-obsessed Whovian, I appreciate the way that Doctor Who is making us geeky mums cool again.

Today, we have another project by SpeakGeekAndEnter, a regular poster over at Crafter. SGAE was last featured here in March 2013 for the Daryl Dixon plush from “The Walking Dead.” Today’s entry is Amy Pond, “The Girl Who Waited.”

‘I’ve been working to try and add in more details to my plushies — since most of my plushies are one of a kind dolls, I figure I might as well make them the very best, with as many details, as I can. I used silver metallic thread for her ‘zipper’ which I loveeeee. And bonus, I even got to use some of those “fancy” stitches on my machine that I never thought I’d use.”

And if you’re interested in getting your own Amy Pond doll, SGAE still has an Etsy store by the same name.

KitLaurie’s Kaylee (found here) is just too cute in her fancy gown and crooked smile.   She looks all ready to head out to a swanky shindig in her outfit–that comes complete with gloves and a yummy strawberry.  Kaylee was made using a pattern found here.  Or if you’re not a crocheter, don’t despair.  KitLaurie takes commissions over on Tumblr.

Just three weeks ago, I linked to Lunascrafts’ Death of Rats. Well, she’s done it again, this time with a jaw droppingly large Dalek. Made with super bulky yarn, and a 5.5mm hook, this squishy ball of hate used up an entire IKEA cushion for stuffing. That’s dedication!

Wasn’t Stargate fantastic?! I watched a couple of old SG:1 episodes recently, and suddenly got the urge to do something crafty involving the gate glyphs. I had a rummage in my drawer of hoarded crap, and found some of that really smooth protective foam that comes with some electronics. You know the stuff that has a really fine grain and is probably not recyclable?! Well that’s the kind of stuff I keep hold of just for occasions like this!

My eldest boy recently had a Star Wars birthday party. I was inspired by this pin, to sew some little cloaks for some lollipops, to make Jawa favors. I took notes and photos as I went, so I figured I may as well share the tutorial on my blog.

Of course, if you aren’t sewing inclined, but can’t do without these, the original pin I was inspired by points to a store, so you can buy some too!
