A Surprisingly Roomy Refrigerator


Well, everyone knows a TARDIS is bigger on the inside!

Until I saw this tweet yesterday, I did not realize that TARDIS fridges were a thing. Apparently they are. The internet is full of them. Or full of a few, at least. ThinkGeek makes a TARDIS minifridge, but I’m frankly far less impressed by this professionally-made product than the homebrew options. Some of them are just so cool!

So now you know: In addition to the many other things out there masquerading as TARDISes (and there are many), your fridge can join the action, too.

Q is for quilt

Zelda detail

Claire Chambers is a craftser and blogster keeping track of a delightful effort on her blog Absolutely Small. She has been doing this thing that is so cute you guys…felt alphabet squares. If you go to her Flickr pages you can see the full effort of alphas,  but I selected the one below for our fair post. This princess is the namesake of my beloved puppy girl, and the ruling alpha female of our house, despite her 13 lb stature.  Much more geek where this came from though, especially J, R, T, W, X, Y, and of course… Z is for Zelda!

Don’t Settle for a Plain Afghan

Settlers of Catan Afghan

Why settle for a plain crochet afghan when you have work up something bold like this beauty? Bonus points for the geek reference to the board game Settlers of Catan, of course! (which, I must admit, I’ve never played, but my son used to play it quite often with friends, so I would assume it’s rather geeky.)

I also love her little sheep pins roaming the green “pastures” of the blanket.

Any Settlers fans out there?

Please Don’t Launch Birds at This Pig


Because, as you can see, it’s an Angry Birds helmet, not actually one of those treacherous green piggies who keep stealing all your precious eggs. And you don’t want to hurt its lovely creator, Jenn Hall. Yes, I realize I seem to be running with a helmet theme (I previously posted Jenn’s awesome R2-D2 helmet), but can I help it when they’re this snazzy? Apparently not. And, you know, safety. It’s important. Why not be safe and geekishly chic at the same time?

Picard garland

So, are you like everyone else in the United States,  jamming up the halls of your local Micheal’s in search of holiday craft items this weekend? Are you stretched to the max between cookie baking, merry making, gift shopping and card swapping?

Via Twitter comes this lovely, simple idea from @janineveazue about how to get your geek craft on when you just can’t fit one.more.dang.thing into your schedule.

As tweeteth  @janineveazue “You were once a pile of smirking Picards, but now you are a festive holiday garland! ”

Take that, Captain Kirk fans.
