What I’d like to show you guys today is this amazing Harry Potter advent calendar made by Missing Willow.
Each drawer contains an item, note about the item and a small treat/sweet. It also has a small cupboard to put the trinkets in as each day passes which is a great idea to collect them all up watching the days tick closer to Christmas!
I don’t know about you, but I’m in love with the new Sherlock. I found this gem over in the Flickr pool by Ursula and Olive.
I love the quotes and even the way they captured Sherlock’s nose. It’s fantastic!
So I post this with trepidation this week because it seems like one of those things that should have been posted on this blog a long time ago. I searched and haven’t seen it for a while, so boom: here you go. I present to you this quilt. Festooned with all things Potter. Geekscore: 87; Craftscore: Infinity +1
The quilt was featured on the Flickr page of Jennifer Ofenstein, who can be found tumbling on Sewhooked.com and has several other geeky quilted items available on her Etsy store.
Oh my lord. If I had an extra $1800 lying around, I would so pick up a gorgeous needle-felted Panserbjørne from beyond-talented felter Stevi T.. Look at the attention to detail— the armor is all detailed and steampunk, the face is beautifully expressive…what a lovely work of art.
Found via Epbot.
… since the last movie in the Ha
rry Potter Series premiered but the fandom has not abated in it’s love for Hogwarts and it’s inhabitants, both good and bad. That’s a good thing, the longevity of it remains and so does the crafting inspiration that many find from the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
For those wanting to show their continued loyalty in a fashionable way, Rachael, who has the TrenoNights shop on Etsy, offers these tiny recreation of the Harry Potter books as earrings. The customer can pick any two books to make up the pair of earrings or let Rachael pick them for you.
What’s geekier than a Sherlock Holmes wedding? How about a Doctor Who wedding? Or… wait for it… a Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who wedding? Sadly, I can’t access what I hope are many more pictures because flickr is being janky, but the first image is quite promising! It’s a bridal bouquet made from pages of Sherlock Holmes and with a sonic screwdriver stem. And, if the bouquet doesn’t satisfy your Whovian/Holmesian cravings, just rewatch (yes, I said rewatch; I know you’ve all seen it at least once!) the Doctor and Sherlock face off via the song “Anything You Can Do.”
