Game of Thrones Crafts: House Sigil Stamps

Game of Thrones House Sigil Stamps by This is Just to Say Co

With the premiere of Season 4 of HBO’s Game of Thrones a mere week away, are you itching to do a Game of Thrones craft? Get ready to wrap your Hand of the King around these hand-carved Game of Thrones House Sigil Stamps.

Tyr at This Is Just to Say has stamps for House Stark, House Lannister and House Targaryen. I think they’d be perfect for creating invites for a watch party, or maybe even stamping on some fabric to make a one-of-a-kind scarf or skirt.

Which House would you support, and what would you make with the stamps?

A Nerd Bouquet

sherlock doctor who bouquet

What’s geekier than a Sherlock Holmes wedding? How about a Doctor Who wedding? Or… wait for it… a Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who wedding? Sadly, I can’t access what I hope are many more pictures because flickr is being janky, but the first image is quite promising! It’s a bridal bouquet made from pages of Sherlock Holmes and with a sonic screwdriver stem. And, if the bouquet doesn’t satisfy your Whovian/Holmesian cravings, just rewatch (yes, I said rewatch; I know you’ve all seen it at least once!) the Doctor and Sherlock face off via the song “Anything You Can Do.”

Where the Wild Things Lunch

I’ve got a daily vegetarian burrito rotation going for lunches at work, but I’m looking to break out of the tortilla wrap.  This has lead me to explore the possibility of  packing bento boxes for lunch. I’ve found recipes for quick, vegetarian bentos for adults, as I want to be practical about it.  But it hasn’t stopped me from admiring the more elaborate, artistic bentos out there.

I submit, for your approval, this design by Anna the Red. Amazing. This is 100% edible and you can find the  recipe up on her website. This is only the tip of the rice cake.  She’s got tons of designs that will make your geeky heart giggle, and she provides heavily annotated images on her Flickr pages.  Take a look, but word of caution, you might not want to do so on an empty stomach.

The Trend Begun by Jacob Marley

Now, I’m not going to claim that this is the world’s warmest scarf—and I know from personal experience, thanks to my lovely knitter friend Katie, who made me one—but the Marley’s Ghost scarf is definitely a statement piece. I get compliments every time I wear mine; sometimes I just wear it like a giant, slightly fuzzy necklace so that I don’t have to remove it indoors. It’s that cool.

Ideal for the Cave

We all dream of our perfect geek cave. It would have the perfect gaming set up complete with comfy seating, great sound system and of course, tons of storage for our games, books, and other assorted fun bit. What better way to combine that storage with a nod to one of the most well known of early video games, Pac Man!

I found this awesome bookshelf over on Etsy. Go check out LightYourselfUp’s shop!
