Yoda Hat + Market Bag

My friend Heather Mann is always making great stuff (like the Star Wars finger puppets Renee posted about last week) but my favorites from her lately have to be her Yoda crafts. She made this fantastic fleece hat and wrote a tutorial for it on her Dollar Store Crafts blog — the total cost for the project is under $1!

Heather also did a Star Wars swap over at Craftster recently and made this awesome appliqued Yoda market bag in Jedi robe colors for her partner. You can use her instructions and this free morsbag pattern to make one for yourself, too.

Heather’s hat tutorial has totally inspired me to make a head-to-toe Yoda costume for my one-year-old daughter Pearl for Halloween. I’ll post more pictures when I’ve made my version — I’m figuring out the robe, snake and walking stick right now!

Geektastic Easter Eggs

John at Superpunch featured these amazing Geeky Easter Eggs, and I thought I would share it today so anyone who is like me, and waits until the night before Easter to decorate eggs can try some of these amazing ideas!

Above is the Bender egg, the binary egg and the soon-to-be ever-so-popular Yoda egg. On Superpunch you will also find some other really amazing Easter eggs including World Of Warcraft, Kiss and Aqua Teen Hungerforce inspired eggs, as well as Domokun and some cool “egg scenes”. This is one way to totally geek-a-fy your Easter celebration and show off how artistic you are (or, as it may turn out–aren’t).

Star Wars Cook Book: Wookiee Cookies

wookie-cookies<a href=

I know we don’t post a ridiculous amount of books on this site, but how could I resist posting something with a subtitle of “Wookiee Cookies”? Well, as you can see, I couldn’t. So here is the Star Wars Cook Book: Wookiee Cookies and other Galactic Recipes, that I found on geeksugar.

It is a little known fact that every single Star Wars Fan on Earth, actually, needs to eat just as much as those who do not like Star Wars (yes, there are people out there who do not like Star Wars, but rest easy, they aren’t trying to convert anyone to their twisted perspectives). So what better way to mend together your inate desire to eat food, with  your love of Star Wars? Well that’s easy, cook yourself a plate of Bobba Fett-uccini and some Wookie Cookies and turn on The Empire Strikes Back.

Jar Jar Binks Salad

jar-jar-salad
A few years ago, I attended a school designed to teach cooking & presentation, and my favorite part of the course was the garnish. We had instructors that could make a watermelon look like a bouquet of roses straight from the garden. So, naturally, when I saw this Jar Jar Binks carved from a jimaca root, I was excited.

Ken posted this amazingly detailed Jar Jar Binks Salad on Cooksden, lamenting that if he had carved any other character from Star Wars, he wouldn’t have wanted to cut into it with a knife. There is a detailed how-to in the article, and no worries, you won’t have to go buy a million different kinds of knives to pull this one off yourself.
