Introducing Leah!

Introducing Leah

Hello internet! My name is Leah and I’m super excited to be one of the newbies on the Geek Crafts writing team! I’ll be popping in on Wednesday afternoons to share some of my favourite geeky-crafty finds. In fact, you may have noticed a couple of posts from me already, both of which featured awesome embroideries. I’m pretty smitten with textile art, so you can expect to see more of the same from me. I love anything crafty and clever (and geeky) though!

I’m originally from a wee town in Newfoundland, Canada, but am currently living in a big town in British Columbia, Canada. My home on the internet is Zombies Wearing Helmets, which is kind of a rambling record of my life, my crafts, and random things that make me lol. (Zombies fall into all three of those categories, so the title is actually quite appropriate.) I work in retail (yuck!) and volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation centre (yay!). I enjoy playing board games, birding, thrifting, and collecting all sorts of odd things – vintage craft books, dinosaurs, zombies, shells, rocks, owls and macramé. (Macramé owls are twice the fun!).

My geekiness is a mix of horror, sci-fi, and silliness. Here are some lists! (I really like lists!) My favourite monsters are zombies, more zombies, xenomorphs, triffids, Gill-Man, and Godzilla. My favourite TV shows are Red Dwarf, Star Trek, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, The Simpsons, Futurama and The Golden Girls.  My favourite comics are The Walking Dead, Chew, Calvin & Hobbes, and Mouse Guard. My favourite authors are Stephen King, Arthur C. Clarke, Anne Rice, and Neil Gaiman. My favourite superheros are Wolverine, The Hulk, and Spider-Man. My favourite movies are Night of the Living Dead, Dead-Alive, Jurassic Park, Alien, Predator, MST3K, Little Shop of Horrors (1986), The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Donnie Darko. I pretty much love any good/bad B movie, creature feature, or anything with Nicholas Cage. They all make me giggle!

Some of my crafty hobbies include embroidering, doodling, and blogging. I also love making random things, such as rhinestone encrusted flamingos and pine cone spiders. There are way too many project ideas floating around in my head but not nearly enough time to do them all. It’s so frustrating!

But enough about me! I’ll be back again on Wednesday with some more awesomeness to share with you all.

– Leah
