Every once in awhile I scan cakewrecks in an effort to feel better about my cake decorating abilities, and come up short because they have chosen to post something like this Star Wars Baby Shower Cake made by Woulett Bakery. Honestly? I don’t have words other than: pure, deep fried, golden, awesome. The perfect geeky shower cake for the Dark-Side loving expectant parent in your life.
Craftster user Rinnial made this Star Fleet uniform for her little girl. I would love to see a whole shipful of toddlers running around in any uniform. She sewed a “…circa 2366-2372 class A uniform (or Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 3-7) with appropriate insignia for a commander…” The insignia is done with fabric paint.
Until today, I never thought I would associate Troma Films with crocheting, but I like to be proven wrong! Bendy Bones posted this adorable Toxic Avenger Amigurumi on Craftster and let’s be honest, I just fell in love. The perfect pint-sized Toxie complete with mop, and one lopsided eye!
I was happily googling along, attempting to find Doctor Who themed clothes and/or toys for our impending baby (I like that, it sounds dramatic), when I ran across this awesome Torchwood fan comic Torchwood Babiez. Spastamagoria and Jigglycat have apparently worked very hard to represent our favorite Torchwood characters as cute little kids that you just kind of want to hug. And have no fear, the pet pterodactyl from the hub is even represented, as a cute little stuffed animal that Gwenn carried around, Tosh has her own mini Apple computer, and when we run into The Doctor, Rose is carrying a Dalek toy. I giggled through several pages, and it is safe to say I am now hooked on this particular livejournal blog.
When these babies popped into my inbox, and I hopped over to HunkyDorky to see what else Sponzar had created I was giddy. These are really amazing Terminator Converse sneakers that Sponzar had drew on then painted. I, myself, am an “old school” Terminator fan, enjoying parts one and two a little more than parts three and four, but if I was going to join The Resistance, I’d really like a pair of these shoes.
Honestly, there is no craft I have wanted to do at home more than this Time Machine posted by gmjhowe on Instructables. That is saying a lot since I love almost everything I come across on that site, but gmjhowe really put thought, time and coolness into this hand held “Vortex Distortion Space and Time Dilating Device”. Made from various materials including cardboard and “a lot of scrap and junk” he created the perfect, timeless, hand held Time Machine. Now, it’s not as roomy as the Tardis or as flashy as Bill & Ted‘s phonebooth, but it’ll get you where you need to go and you’ll look good when you get there.
