Kill Bill Halloween Costume

gogo-yubari-costume

In honor of my movie-geekness (and love of all things Tarantino) I am featuring this amazing Kill Bill Halloween Costume I found on Flickr because it’s awesome and a little too soon for any good Inglourious Basterds costumes. FlemingBonaparte made this GoGo Yubari costume a couple years ago for Halloween. It appears doable with some decent thrift store finds, some tinfoil and enough creativity to get a wooden plank to stick to the side of your head. I love it!

Torchwood Babiez

I was happily googling along, attempting to find Doctor Who themed clothes and/or toys for our impending baby (I like that, it sounds dramatic), when I ran across this awesome Torchwood fan comic Torchwood Babiez. Spastamagoria and Jigglycat have apparently worked very hard to represent our favorite Torchwood characters as cute little kids that you just kind of want to hug. And have no fear, the pet pterodactyl from the hub is even represented, as a cute little stuffed animal that Gwenn carried around, Tosh has her own mini Apple computer, and when we run into The Doctor, Rose is carrying a Dalek toy. I giggled through several pages, and it is safe to say I am now hooked on this particular livejournal blog.

Sharkattoque!

It is Shark Week on Discovery Channel and that can only mean one thing, people who normally aren’t even interested in marine biology are going to be glued to the Discovery Channel to watch the MythBusters attempt to blow up a Jaws style great white muppet, crazy people “testing” shark cages, and just about any other dramatic thing Discovery can come up with involving sharks. In honor of one of the most popular weeks in educational television, here is Sharkattoque by SmakJamCreations on etsy. Not only is this awesome knitted hat really cool to look at, but it’s creator acutually found an amusing way to use to antiquated term “toque” (it basically means beanie), and the word nerd in me is ecstatic about that.

Baby Viking Hat

Pregnancy comes with all kinds of inconvienences. You feel sick for the first three months and spend the majority of the time looking for a bathroom. It does have its advantages though, for instance, you can spend all of your free time looking a teeny cute clothes, toys and bedding and call it “planning” for your new baby. I was doing just that when I ran across babyrocksmohawks‘  Baby Viking Hat on etsy. Tell me this isn’t pure golden awesome. I was thrilled by her hot pink and “atomic blue” mohawk hats, but I think this Baby Viking Hat really takes the cake.

Ron Weasley Doll

Ron Weasley Doll

We are currently all Harry Potter all the time in our house. In the past couple of months, we’ve watched all five movies so we’d be ready for #6, and my little guy and I have been reading the first book, a chapter a night. Now he’s watching Potter Puppet Pals on YouTube, probably completely inappropriate, but very funny. Funny and awesome craftiness. But he just asked me the question I always love and dread at the same time – can I make him a Harry Potter puppet? Love because he thinks I can make anything and dread because half the time it’s beyond my crafting abilities. Any other crafty moms have that problem?

Anyway, all this to say that I took a spin through Etsy to see if anyone else is making Harry Potter puppets right now and found these very sweet dolls, including Ron Weasley,  by GirlCalledRic. I love the little Gryffindor necktie! More Potter characters, Star Trek and some super heroes in her Etsy shop.
