Avengers Assemble!

In less than a week, I’ll be one of those crazy people waiting in line for the midnight release of the much anticipated movie “The Avengers”. To get myself in the mood to enjoy this awesome movie, I decide to search through Etsy for some awesome Avengers inspired crafts.

Here are five awesome creations:


Avengers Logo Glasses
Who wouldn’t want to host a marathoning party of the pre-Avengers movies, when you had these glasses to hold your guests beverages in? They’re pretty awesome!


Avengers Buttons/Magnets
As someone who obsessed with buttons, these buttons are adorable and geeky in the best possible way.


Superhero Wristies
Nerdifacts makes adorably geeky wristies inspired by superheroes, including The Avengers. Midnight showings can be cold, these should keep you warm.


Avengers Inspired Mini Bows
These bows are adorable and still vague enough that you could wear them with other outfits.


Vintage Virtue
When I first started searching for Avengers stuff, her stuff was popping up all over the place. Once I got to her shop, I was overcome with all sorts of nerd feelings. She has bows, earrings, tie clips, necklaces, and bracelets. All the having the perfect amount of nerdiness.

Support Your Local Death Eaters!

Support Your Local Death Eaters!

Voldemort’s been defeated. Muggles are no longer tormented by wizards. There’s not many openings for experienced Death Eaters in the wizarding world today. What’s an unemployed DE to do? Since they weren’t qualified for unemployment benefits and the training they had previously was rather specialized, there weren’t too many options open.

Some were lucky. Word along Diagon Alley is that Lucius Malfoy became the new Spokes-wizard for one of the top hair care product companies. Some were not so lucky. Two of them, however, were rather crafty (pun intended) in their search for new careers and opened up a lovely craft shop on Etsy named Death Eaters Delights.  Owned by Dixiebell and Qui, they’ve put their passion for magic into crafty magic and have created some lovely items.

Dixiebell has recreated the text books from the Harry Potter Series as keepsake boxesto store your precious mementos and currently has several in stock.

Support Your Local Death Eaters!2It seems, that with so much extra time, the pair have discovered Muggle television and so Qui has recreated the Kitty Riley I <3 Sherlock buttons that are seen in the third episode of season 2 on BBC’s Sherlock series.

They offer other items as well ranging from pillows to masks and wands. So, please, stop by, browse, shop. Support your local Death Eater!

Dammit, Jim!

Let’s face it: One of the best things about TOS was every time Bones said, “Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a _____.” It happened a lot. The more it happened, the funnier it got. It’d make for one helluva drinking game (I’m sure it already has, in fact). So, naturally, this Trek magnet/button set tickled me. There are bunch of geeky button and/or magnet sets in the hownice Etsy shop, so peruse at will.

Bicycle Love Button

Cycling is, well, let’s face it, one of the geekiest “sports” out there. Either you’re pedaling around because you don’t have a car, or because you actually want to be a “cyclist” in which case you are wearing really tight, shiny shorts. More importantly than all that, cyclists have mega-pride. And here is the perfect button to show yours off. Spaceoddities posted this massive 3″ Bicycle Love Button on her etsy page. Perfect blend of geek, girly & cyclist pride.

Cross Stitched Video Game Sprite Buttons

Cross Stitched Buttons

Flickr user Pixel Bit has gone cross stitch crazy! She stitched tons of buttons with different video game sprites on 20-count Aida fabric. For those of you who don’t cross stitch, 20-count is super teeny tiny! Click through to see them all individually.
