TARDIS sewing box

tardis sewing box2tardis sewing box

 

I absolutely adore this wibbly wobbly TARDIS sewing box!! Joesuplicki on Craftster made this amazing sewing box from scratch! What a fantastic idea! I would love to have a suitably geeky sewing box for all my geeky crafts! I love the attention to detail, down to the character pins and the details inside the TARDIS (it’s bigger on the inside!). I wish I had the skills to make one of these!

Winter is Coming: You’ll Need Mittens

Specifically the Game of  Throne s House Mitt Kits.  Be you, Stag, Lion, Wolf, Kracken, Flower, or Dragon. There is a mitt kit for you.  These kits sold by The Yarn Cafe  make it so you can knit up your own favorite house to keep the chill away. The kit includes the pattern for the house of your choice and enough yarn to make the gloves in the size of your choice.

And as they don’t have thumbs I think they would do quite well for keeping that spring and fall chill at bay before we whip out the big guns.  So grab your needles and wait for the shipment to arrive and get knitting. Possibly as you watch Season 3.  And perhaps visit the designer Anna Richardson/ One Hand Knits on Ravelry, where she has other patterns, and a few other geeky nods.

Cthulhu Mittens

Cthulhu MittensIf your Winter wasn’t quite creepy enough, or all that snow has driven you to madness, perhaps you should reflect it, with a pair of these fabulously tentacled Cthulhu mittens! This pair was knitted by knittitude as part of Nerd Wars on Ravelry and made it to the finals of the best in round two.

This free pattern was written by Diana Stafford (you may remember we shared her One Ring scarf pattern earlier this year) – truly a great, all-round, geeky knitter!

Star Wars Pillow and Blanket

Star Wars pillow and blanket

In just a year, I’m going to be finished with college. Soon, I’ll have to decide what to do with the rest of my life! Every time I see a baby in a pram or stroller, I squee with delight, so little geeky addition sounds just lovely. Young children are a great inspiration for crafts. I honestly can’t wait to turn our study into a Nintendo-themed bedroom and start finger-painting Pokémon with the little ones.

Winner of the Sheldon Cooper Ami Giveaway

0341_jimparsonssheldondoll-50c0d70bc2b98At the end of March, I posted an entry about A(mi)dorable Crochet’s giveaway of an ami Sheldon Cooper. The deadline to enter was April 7th, 2013 at 7 PM.

A(mi)dorable used a true random number generator to pick her winner. Out of 73 comments on her blog, the winning commenter was number 17 (d430f8d0-98d7-11e2-99e1-000bcdcb8a73, an AOL OpenId user), and he/she has until April 9th at 8 PM to email A(mi) and claim Sheldon. The winning comment on the best Sheldon moment was, “I fave is when Sheldon is dressed as the “FLASH” and does everything slow like he is really doing it extra fast.. LOL.”

Patches…So Many Patches

There was a period of time where I had many a bag that was being held together by the sheer level of patches, and buttons holding it together. Now-a-days these decorate my badges, and convention totes. But these patches from Storied Threads make me think I’m gonna need a bigger tote.

They have so many options something is likely to tickle your fancy.  You could take a trip down to engineering.

Or you could be dealing with the fact that Winter is Coming.

The shop has hundreds of patches, from all corners of geekery.  All of them.
