Dalek for a Good Cause

Dalek for a Good CauseA good friend of mine is raising money to help a friend with stage 3 ovarian cancer. You can help by bidding on her crafty auctions for items such as this amazing Dalek or by purchasing an ornament in The Fiercegrrl Fund Ornament Shop (including some made by yours truly).

About the Dalek:

I watched Nicholas create this at the ornament party and I was wowed by his commitment to detail and his inventive use of repurposed materials. He stood next to the hot glue gun for hours, meticulously placing each layer of evergreen fringe. This piece is about 5″ wide and stands about 9″ tall. It could easily take the place of a tree topper or could function as an ornament or decor item somewhere in your home.

The Dalek the Halls will be carefully packed and shipped to you via priority mail so you can enjoy your Dr. Wholiday with it. Though this piece is truly priceless, I don’t think we should accept less than $50. Let the bidding begin!

TARDIS Star Quilt

I have posted TARDIS quilts before, simply because I absolutely love them, and I love seeing new takes on it. Wendy posted this awesome TARDIS Star Quilt on her blog, the star quilting just makes this one! It is totally perfect for snuggling under while you watch the latest season of Doctor Who on DVD. Also, don’t forget to check out her TARDIShcloths, because they are adorable as their name!

TARDIS MAME Console

The phrase “It all started with Linux” and a picture of Charles Bronson occur with in the first few paragraphs of Simon Jansen‘s thorough, rambling, and completely freaking awesome how-to post about his TARDIS MAME Console.  It’s one thing to build your own TARDIS, it’s a wholly different thing to build your own TARDIS, then construct a custom made MAME console to fit inside (the picture on the left is the TARDIS, closed. On the right, we see it open, with the console on). This might be the geekiest thing I’ve ever posted, a real trifecta of geekgasm worthy art.

Doctor Who Cupcakes

Saturday will be the beginning of the end of Matt Smith’s first season as The Doctor.  We managed to see this season on the UK schedule, so I am anxiously awaiting the second part, and in honor of that, I present: Doctor Who Week.

To kick off Doctor Who Week, I thought I would share these amazing Doctor Who Cupcakes I found on My Food Obsession‘s Flickr page (The Daleks are my favorite).
