Gir Quilt

Hiya geeks!

Quick post from me today as my keyboard is typing Gobble De Gook so I am having to use the on-screen keyboard so it is taking aaaages to type anything.

Today I would like to show you this awesome Gir quilt made by lyric889 from Craftster.

This monster of a quilt is 40 inches wide by 54 inches long; using a staggering 1,344 squares. That is one big quilt!

    Starbug Tshirt

    Hi there folks!

    Hope you have all had a good new year and sticking to those new year resolutions.

    Today I have this amazing stenciled tshirt featuring Starbug from Red Dwarf.

    This creative piece as made by EllieJay from Craftster.

    She also shows a great cyclist design done the the same splatter style which is very effective. I would love to try this out myself.

    Friday Roundup: Terry Pratchett

    I have just finished reading Terry Pratchett’s ‘Hat Full of Sky’ and I am a great fan of his Discworld knovels so that is what has inspired me to search for Terry Pratchett themed crafts this week. It has been quite a task too, not that many recent ones kicking around to show you so some are a couple of years old but excellent none the less.

    ***

    First up is this amazing mug with the Ankh Morpork Coat of Arms on it made by aethelberga for Ruby Copperhead on Craftster.

    ***

    Second is this adorable set,  made by LunasCrafts on Etsy, of cute crochet Nac Mac Feegles (though I wouldn’t advise calling a Nac Mac Feegle cute if you don’t feel like a fight).

    ***

    Show your love for the Witch of all Witches, Grany Weatherwax, with this delightful necklace made by Moonblush Designs on Etsy.

    ***

    Next up is this stunning silver brooch in the style of Tiffany’s necklace made by Plysperk another Etsy genius.

    ***

    Here is a witty little badge, made by Lou from bookity, inspired by Granny Weatherwax so you can remind every one that you “aien’t dead”.

    ***

    This next craft is both cute geeky and useful craft; It is Luggage. Made by squeakyarmadillo from Craftster.

    ***

    Here is the entire Discworld. in crochet made by June from Planet June.

    ***

    Finally I would like to present to you the cherry on the top of the cake. I litereally did a little ‘squeee’ when I saw this.

    Here is a sculpted Nac Mac Feegle Bust made by maxxev on Craftster.

    Well folks, that is it for this weeks Roundup. I am off to carry on Tiffanys journey by starting to read Wintersmith.

    Freezer Paper TARDIS Hoodie

    Hello Geeks!

    Today I would like to show you this amazing TARDIS hoodie from Samantha_McKay on Crafster.

    She ordered her brother a sonic screwdriver set for Christmas and decided that he needed something to go with it; she looked up some designs on the internet but none were quite right.

    So she sketched her own design and made a stencil out of Freezer Paper and applied it to a plain hoodie (Blue of course).
