Your Slip Is Showing

Okay, so you definitely couldn’t wear this Blood n Stitches zombie slip dress every day, but it’d make a great costume. You could probably whip one up quite easily yourself, if you’re so inclined. Also, how entertaining would it be if you just wore it around the house? You know, to the laundry room and to answer the door when the UPS guy comes and such…. Maybe it’s perverse, but I feel like that’d be highly amusing.

Twinkie Chan’s Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies Book Review & Giveaway

Random.org has spoken and our winner is number 21, Cheryl J! Congrats!!

Twinkie Chan’s Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies is an all around adorable book. It’s colourful and fun to look at.

It’s well written and easy to follow. Twinkie Chan adds food flair even to the materials list which she calls “Ingredients”.

Don’t crochet and don’t have time to learn? Twinkie Chan has an Etsy shop where you can buy the finished pieces.

It was really hard to choose what to make so in the end I decided upon the Cupcake Hat. Who doesn’t love cupcakes? I really liked that it looks more complicated than it really is while keeping it interesting. It can easily be made up in a weekend or during the week to wear for the weekend! It’s so cute that you’ll want to wear it as often as you can.

 

I don’t want to give this book away, I love it, but alas, what’s a giveaway without something to give away? Let me know in the comments what your favourite sweet treat is along with your e-mail address by Tuesday, March 20 for your chance to win this super cute book!!

Artifact Roadshow

I’ve mentioned it before, and I’ll say it again, I love the SyFy series Warehouse 13. That show has a little something for every sci-fi fan. For such an amazing show, the crafts that stem from it are few and far between. I’ve searched high and low for crafts that are inspired by this amazing show, and generally come up empty. Even finding t-shirts has been a struggle.

That is, until I ran across Comickergirl on Redbubble. In addition to having a t-shirt that is compiled of quotes from my favorite character (Claudia Donovan), she’s created other shirts for this amazing series. From a shirt that advertises the goo Warehouse Agents have to use for catching artifacts, to an iPhone case that looks like the Farnsworths’ (I’ve never wanted to own an iPhone so much in my entire life). They’re all a soon to be staple in my geek wardrobe.
