We got a double-submission from Geek Crafts user Bree (aka breemonkey on Craftster): She sewed and embroidered felt to make these cute and very detailed D20 Dungeons and Dragons die and Nintendo controller ornaments for her lucky, and geeky, friends.
Geek Crafts reader Jessica of Craft:g33k sewed and embroidered this amazing Dr. Who Tardis Tissue Box Cozy for a swap. The details she added with the seams are awesome and the denim is a perfect shade of blue. Even better, she’s got instructions posted on her blog!
Geek Crafts reader Elisa, aka sprocketfish on Craftster, submitted the Companion Cube from Valve’s Portal that she crocheted for her boyfriend. She says she made up the pattern as she knit and was kind enough to post her instructions online. Click through for more photos.
Geek Crafts reader Renee of The Domestic Scientist submitted this amazing Space Invaders cross-stitched guitar strap for her husband. She says she’ll be modding his guitar next! Click through to her blog and Flickr account – she’s got a lot of really cool crafts, geekery and geek crafts. There are even some extremely cool patterns for stuff like a NES controller cross-stitch pattern and an Army of Darkness stencil.
I had big plans to do a Halloween costume round-up *before* Halloween to give you all fabulous and geeky ideas for creating your own costumes. Life keeps getting in the way of blogging, but because I love you all, I’ve thrown together some recent finds. If you’ve seen anything recently that I’ve missed, post a comment with a link!

Ok, not really a craft, but if you’re lazy and a procrastinator, or just like to laugh, take a look at the Top 20 Halloween Costume T Shirts – for those times when you must dress up but just feel line wearing a tee. Many are quite geeky like the Chewbacca tee above.
Maybe these will give you some ideas on some to make yourself. (Do share!)
