April Draven made this adorable Tenth Doctor Amigurumi for a swap on craftster and posted him on her blog. I am in love with him! He is even cuter than the real David Tennant! And the crocheted glasses are removable, too!
A big thanks to Lilian for dropping this great etsy find in my inbox! What better to house your latest technological gadget in, than this retro style NES Controller iPhone Case made by SplashingKoi? I can’t even begin to properly embrace the techno-geekiness of finding a way to combine the iPhone with NES, but I’m going to try.
It’s been really fun writing up awesome Halloween costumes this month! Here are my three favorites I’ve posted about…
Ruth Suehle‘s amazing Red Queen costume for Dragon*Con,
thestamppit‘s super-creepy Coraline “Other Mother” costume for Dragon*Con,
and Bonnie Burton‘s fantastic Jabba the Hutt costume patrolling the halls at LucasFilm!
When we decided to each pick our top three Halloween costumes from the last two months, I knew I had a tough job ahead of me. We found so much pure gold this year, and it was really hard to choose just three, but I did my best. So without further adieu, my top three:
The Yip Yips by Tracy Lawson, they are sparkly, cute, and nostalgic! What more could you want? And if you’re going to be an adult in a Sesame Street costume, please, please, do not dress up as Elmo!
Two: Baby Elvis Costume! Seriously, at what other time has a kid so small rocked so much (I’m excluding toddlers with mohawks for this one)? CuriousFae did an awesome job on this one! (via craftster).
And last but not least: THE GORE! Halloween is historically about death and ghosts, and GORE, why else did I rent three horror movies to watch tonight? The Dissection Costume wins on the gore factor! To make it even cooler, jessicution didn’t go to the Halloween super store to pick this number up, it is all made from scratch, even the fake blood! Totally awesome! (via craftster).
I hate the smell of pumpkin so I was thrilled to see such a long thread on Craftster (and a couple other places) of jack o’ lanterns that I don’t have to look at in person. Here are the geekiest:

When Craftster user BugPop and her flatmate were invited to a cartoon character party, she made these fun Thing One and Thing Two costumes from Dr. Suess’ The Cat in the Hat. I want to go to a party like that!
