Winner of the Sheldon Cooper Ami Giveaway

At 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.”

Friday Round-up: Rubik’s Cube Madness!

I am a collector of hobbies and lately I have gotten back into the Rubik’s Cube. The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by a Hungarian sculptor and professor named Erno Rubik. He was awesome. He didn’t even realize he had made a puzzle until the first time he scrambled it and tried to get it back together. It took him like 6 months, now the world record is 5.66 seconds. My best time is somewhere just shy of 2 minutes, but I am getting better. Enough about me, you are here for crafts so here we go!

This Rubik’s Cube tissue box by HandyHomeGrown on Etsy is made out of wood, making it far superior to a lot of the other Rubik’s Cube tissue boxes you can find out there because it probably smells pretty rustic.

Introducing Marsha

Hey all, I will be your regular Friday morning blogger so I thought I would throw a bit of introduction at you first. I am a long time crafter, currently focused on knitting, spinning, and bead working to name a few things that I get my own crafty hands busy with. So I’m sure geeky knits will be prominent.

I tend to roam the internet as One Geek to Craft Them All, so that should point out at least one geeky place that is precious to me. I’m a fan of comics, fantasy, mythology, magic, cosplay, and plenty of others. To be more specific things that own a place in my heart, include but are not limited to, Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Harry Dresden, Game of Thrones, Star Trek, Supernatural, Harry Potter; you know the basics. The list goes ever on.

In my day to day life I put my Master’s in Industrial/Organizational Psychology to use as Research Associate at a management consultant firm. I can feel your eyes glazing over from here so I’m gonna stop there. It’s for the best really. My closest friends only vaguely understand what I do. I like statistics, I play with them for a living, is close enough, really.

I’ll see everyone bright an early on Friday and until then I leave you with a handmade Tardis dress I have been trying to talk myself out of buying by Lex from Smarmy Clothes.

She also has a great blog with sewing tutorials here.

Marsha can usually be found, roaming twitter as @1geek2craftall or blogging at One Geek To Craft Them All. She thinks cheaters never prosper, unless it’s the Kobayashi Maru. Then cheat like there’s no other way to win.

A Star Purse for Every Occasion

If only I had my sewing machine in my possession (I lent it to a friend) and a place to set it up, I might have given this a shot! See, deciding to work with my hair (it’s pink), I opted for a pink-hair-friendly Halloween costume and am currently sitting in my office dressed as Ramona Flowers. I went the easy route and bought a pre-made star purse, but how awesome would it have been if I’d bought this pattern and made my own bag with a star I could swap out in any color? That woulda been pretty sweet….

If I’m up to it in the future (or you want to give it a shot prior to next Halloween or any impending cons or costume parties), you can pick up the pattern from Haley’s Wonderful Distractions.

Oh, and happy Halloween!

Creepily Accurate Bioshock ADAM Syringe

To tell the truth, I’ve never actually played BioShock. But I’ve seen screenshots and a bit of the game in action, and—even though I know I’m absurdly late to the party—I would still like to play it one of these days. I’ve also seen a helluva lot of cool BioShock costumes over the years, which only increases my interest. Any excuse to dress up! Especially if the accessories—like this homemade ADAM syringe—are this cool. Of course, I’d be a total poseur if I whipped out one of these any time soon—it’s obligatory that I play the game first! But I encourage any and all BioShiock fans to get crafty pronto.
