I’ve got all things that are good… including this Old Gregg doll!! Well, I don’t have it, but Craftster user warheart does! Look at the seaweed hair!! And the mini bottle of Baileys! The back of the jacket even reads “I’m Old Gregg!” He’s a scaly manfish, he’s got the funk in a box, what’s not to love?!
If you’re not familiar with the hilarity that is The Mighty Boosh (BBC) here is a youtube video of the very best episode The Legend of Old Gregg
I want this hat. I NEED this hat. But I can’t knit, and I don’t know anyone who can do fair isle. I have tried to learn to knit, just so I can make this hat (I’m hopeless). Carol Schoenfelder posted this Stargate beanie over at Ravelry, and I truly think it’s the greatest hat ever. She used the gate symbols as well as traditional fair isle patterns, making this subtly geeky and incredible cool.
There’s a free tutorial on her Ravelry page, which means someone can make this for me, right? Pretty please?
Futurama is one of my all time favorite shows. I even have a Mars University t-shirt. And yet I’m ashamed to say that I have never had a Futurama cake. After seeing these, I may have to change that when my birthday rolls around.
Brainslug Cupcakes
These were such a hit last year that they were reproduced for the cast and crew for the final script reading of Season 6. The brainslugs are gum paste, and the brains are grenadine flavored buttercream frosting.
I want this at my wedding! I love how detailed it is. I wouldn’t want to cut into it! It looks like the Planet Express logo is actually fondant, not painted on.
I love the New New York skyline on this one (from Edible Art Bakery). The back ground is painted on and the closer buildings are fondant. And the jetpack-wearing cat and dog from the pilot are on there!
These are gorgeous, and could go with any cupcake. The disks are fondant and edible marker (I have to get some!). Plus, there’s a tutorial!
I love that this birthday cake is actually Bender’s head, not just a picture of it. And it’s chocolate!
The bride and groom both love Futurama, so of course that’s what’s on their wedding cake. It even has Buggalo running around the bottom. No sign of the Wongs though.
These are really cute. The Nibbler one is my favorite (I love his eyestock). From Unicorn Magic Baking Company.
I think I might have to bake something tonight. Hmm…
Have a great weekend!
The Big Bang Theory is one of my absolute favorite shows, so I was incredibly excited to see this Crocheted Sheldon Cooper on the Craftster frontpage yesterday. Anne11 made him as a Christmas gift for a friend. He now hangs out at her friend’s office (I wonder if he plays computer games when people aren’t looking?). Anne11 combined two patterns to make the perfect Sheldon. I love the tee-shirt she picked for him. I want my own Sheldon!
Her timing for posting this couldn’t be better, since Jim Parsons (who plays Sheldon) won a Golden Globe last night for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
O-mazing!!! I wish I had this block style door just so I could paint it blue <3
Flickr user normaljean has this TARDIS door in her home, and there’s even a gallery of photos showing the work in progress. A musician and general artist, she definitely has awesome work, so check out her photostream for fun crafts and adventures! (adorable mini felted things! omg!!)

Cross-stitched by Flickr user Cerys Davies aka chickenstitch, this quote from The IT Crowd is funny on it’s own, but even funnier for those of us geeks who have to help our friends and family with their computer problems. This would go nicely with “No, I will not fix your computer.”
