Mixtape Postcards

Who doesn’t love a mixtape? Lovingly created, song by song by someone who cares enough about you to not only use their double tape deck to transfer a song from one tape to another, but even sit next to the radio for hours, waiting for the right moment to hit “record” when that perfect Descendants song came on the radio.

Or should I say, who over 25 doesn’t love a mixtape? Eh, whatever. Anchortag captures the fun and romance of a mixtape, without the need for a working tape deck. These Mixtape Postcards would make an awesome Valentine, and they are for sale at her Etsy shop!

Year of the Moon Buns

Happy Chinese New Year! In honor of the year of the rabbit I am featuring my favourite amigurumis, the Moon Buns! Moon’s Creation has so many different Moon Buns for any season or reason, and I think all good geeks should show their excitement for the Year of the Rabbit with their favorite Moon Bun. I’m certainly ready for the tumultuous year of the tiger to be done with and the tranquil year of the rabbit to take over – here’s hoping, right?

Tiny TARDIS

What a lucky little Time Lord! I wish I would have gotten a TARDIS for my birthday! Mateo’s dad, Brian, made this out of corrugated paper, and his mom, Jennifer posted it on on her blog. This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. The light on top is amazing! Brian is working on plans for this, so everyone can make their own TARDIS. I’m going to make one that’s my size ;)

Pixel Book Covers

Pixel Book CoversThis book cover idea is so simple, yet so awesome, I’m slightly upset I didn’t think of it first!  Way to go Icoeye for beating me to it…  now I wish I had more books of the same size to properly pull this effect off!  (Think of the design potential… Space Invaders, Mario, anything 8bit = crazy pixel fun!)

There is also a PDF link included to make your own bookshelf designs (yay!)

Amigurumi Angry Birds

In December GeekCrafts brought your attention to Angry Birds Plushie by Obsessively Stitching and today we bring you Amigurumi Angry Birds Pig Pattern by The Itsy Bitsy Spider amigurumi-Crochet. But it doesn’t stop there!  She has also made the Angry Birds goldfinch to go along with the pig, and she has an amigurumi pattern for the cardinal available in ravelry. I’m personally tempted to make a bunch, fill them with beans, and set up elaborate constructions with the pigs to knock down with the birds. Sounds like a great party game to me!
