Is it too early for Christmas stuff? I hope not, because this gingerbread Tardis is awesome. AnnaMaria42 posted this in the Geek Crafts Flickr pool. I’d love to see other geek-themed gingerbread creations!
Geek Crafts reader Jessica of Craft:g33k sewed and embroidered this amazing Dr. Who Tardis Tissue Box Cozy for a swap. The details she added with the seams are awesome and the denim is a perfect shade of blue. Even better, she’s got instructions posted on her blog!
I recently stumbled across an article on using little zipper pouches to organize and keep your purse clutter free. Well, naturally you would want to geekify that. How about this fantastic 11th Doctor Coin Purse?
Erica Dietz of 5 Little Monsters shared a writeup on The Geeky Mormon on how she adapted a bow zipper purse to subtly reference the 11th Doctor Who (Matt Smith, for non-Whovians), who thought bow ties were cool. Add some suspenders to a bow zipper pouch and you’re good!
Please note: unlike the TARDIS, the coin purse is not bigger on the inside, unfortunately. You’d need to hit up Hermione for a bag like that.

Convention season is approaching (actually, I’ve got three cons this month!), and I’ve put together a checklist for con-goers getting ready to go to their next convention. If you’ve never been to pop culture convention, or even if you’ve been to dozens, it’s always good to be prepared. Check out the list of things to take and even research before going so you can have the best con experience ever. There’s even a downloadable version of the checklist, including tips for cosplayers! Do you have any advice for folks getting ready to go to their next convention? Share them with us in the comments or on FB!

I’ve been seeing really fun geek-themed terrariums on Pinterest lately, but not a lot of detailed how-to’s. Though it’s pretty easy to make a terrarium, it turns out you don’t just want to throw some sand and rocks in a jar and decorate with air plants, moss, and a few minis. That is, if you want your plants to actually thrive any way. So I tracked down a few generic terrarium making tutorials, including the great image above from the blog Something Turquoise. Another blog, Food 52, has great step-by-step instructions on making a terrarium as well. Once you’ve got those basics down, you can decorate your terrarium with any fandom you like. And there are tons of ideas out there. Here are a FEW of my personal favorites!
The official starwars.com has got this awesome Degobah Terrarium, with instructions.
This terrarium is for sale on Moss Love.
This one features one of my favorite superheroes! And there are even instructions on the blog Sweet Happy Life if you’re interested in making your own.
This Zombie Terrarium is also for sale on Moss Love. I ADORE this idea.
What fandom themed terrarium would you create?
