The Nerdiest Little Blanket

There are not enough words to describe the sheer volume of nerdyness included in this baby blanket. I went through it and am sure I’m missing references. I can see Big Bang Theory, The Never Ending Story, Voltron, Hitchhikers Guide, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Battlestar, Firefly, Thundercats, and more more more.

And Ravelry user leilaniac did not stop there. She created charts for all of these squares and more. So knitters get your needles ready. This is a baby blanket every geek can get behind. I’m sure it has a square or two for everyone.

DIY Grumpy Cat Brooch

So Tardar Sauce, better known as Grumpy Cat, has become an internet sensation. She’s adorable in her own angry way. What better way to commemorate her than to make your very own felt brooch with this tutorial! Creator Lauren really nailed the look on her face.

LongCat Travel Neck Pillow

I travel a lot. It’s my job. It could easily be said that I live on airplanes. I always see people with neck pillows and I think they look stupid. I have often said that I will never use a neck pillow, and that my sore neck after every flight is a badge of honor.

Well that is about to change.

This Long Cat Neck Pillow by Felicia Rose on Etsy is the height of fashion. If I saw someone with one of these on a plane, I would marry them. Additionally, its inability to grasp simple human grammar structure is hilarious.

Check out the Pillow!

He Sees You When You’re Crafting

I know this has been rattling around the interwebs for ages now (three years in internet time is rather more like three decades in the real world), but, astonishingly, it has never made an appearance on Geek Crafts. Until now, that is.

Thus may I present to you papercraft ceiling cat. Per the directions, I whipped one up myself and was highly amused by the results…though it would have been more effective if I’d actually managed to stick him on the ceiling. I’m quite short, even with the aid of ladders. (Note: for a slightly more impressive result, I’d suggest enlarging the design by about 25%.)

It’s-a Me, Anna

Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as when Mario says it. Oh well.

I’m just taking a few minutes to introduce myself. I’m one of the new bloggers here on GeekCraft.com, and I’ll be posting every Sunday.

I currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah with my husband and our two cats, Aerith (named after a character from Final Fantasy VII) and Rikku (after a character from Final Fantasy X).

Most of my geekiness comes from watching copious amounts of television, that usually have some sort of geek tie-in, like, The Big Bang Theory, Warehouse 13, Doctor Who, and anything made by Joss Whedon.

The way that I geekcraft is mostly by making plushies of my favorite characters from TV shows (though currently I’ve only made characters from Doctor Who, I’m working on others).

When not watching far too much television for one person to handle, I’m making YouTube videos with my friends, and playing on Photoshop.

Feel free to check out my bio and the other new blogger bios in the about page.

Allons-y,
Anna

Glorious Coffee Roundup

Hey everyone! as my baby geek is now 2 (and a half) weeks old, COFFEE has claimed it’s place at the centre of my sanity. “Sleep when your baby sleeps” they say… but there is so much to DO! So I’m raising a mug to all those hard working tech support guys and sysadmins who survive their bosses/clients insane demands courtesy of this glorious stimulant. *slurp*

Let’s start with coffee endorsed by the the Dark Lord.
