Come to the Dark Side, O Christmas Tree

Death Star Tree Topper

With Christmas just days away, my brain is still in decorate mode. And believe me, if we didn’t already have a pretty star for the top of our tree, I would be madly scrambling to whip this Death Star Tree Topper together for our celebration.

Meg at Offbeat Home has graciously provided a tutorial for said tree topper, so you can add a bit of the Dark Side to your tree as well. Looks like a quick and easy project!

May the Force be with your Christmas!

Voom, Voom, Boing!

So say you have kids who love playing Star Wars, but you don’t want them to hurt themselves with whatever approximation of lightsabers they’ll create. Alternately, you might have fully grown friends or relatives who still like playing Star Wars, but, again, you still don’t want them to hurt themselves. Enter the pool noodle lightsaber. With nothing but pool noodles, a serrated knife, and three kinds of electrical/duct tape, Muddy Boots blogger Amy created safe-but-cool-as-hell lightsabers for her son and his birthday guests, then posted the handy-dandy tutorial so we can do the same. Additional photos and tutorials can be found around the interwebs, if Amy’s post isn’t enough for you.

“I Love You!” “I Know”

It’s that time again.
Valentine’s Day.

For those geeks who aren’t into the mushy gushy cards for your loved ones. Check out The Wallaroo Prints on Etsy for some excellent geeky Valentine’s Day cards.

With customizable QR codes in a lot of their cards, you can send special secret messages to that special someone. They have something for each geek. Is your signifigant other a Star Wars fan? Check out the Leia & Han card. Or maybe, Robots are their thing. Personally, I really like the “I Less than Three You A Lot”  the most.
