Doctor Who Bingo

Craftster always has the coolest swaps going, and the stuff that comes out of them is amazing. ivoryh1632 made these Bingo Cards for her partner during the Doctor Who round 6 swap, and they’re so cool! There are 12 different cards to choose from, and they have squares like “The Doctor mentions he’s a genius” and “Someone gets slapped”. ivoryh1632 says “I did it up all proper and used a bingo card making website so every card has a random assortment chosen from 80 different phrases, so choose your card wisely.” You could always use jelly babies as space markers. Or if you print them out big enough,  jammy-dodgers.

Doctor Van Whoopla

There is just so much awesome in this hoop! Craftster user onegroovyday made this for the Hoopla Round 4 swap, and I am seriously jealous of her partner! Even if she had stopped at the Van Gogh part it would have been gorgeous, but it just keeps getting better! The theme for Round 4 was a diptych–so it had to be two related hoops. And the second hoop is in the TARDIS!! There are more pictures in the post, and I highly recommend you go look, there’s SO much detail. Here is something else amazing: onegroovyday has never seen Doctor Who! “I have never watched Doctor Who…. I did a lot of image searching and some you tube viewing…”

Geek Onsies

Creator Rossie says:

“Iron-on transfer paper exists because I *heart* Daleks.  And so should my baby, darn it.  Though if it turns out to be a boy that bow could get awkward.”

I know exactly what she means! I’ve recently made my peace with iron-on transfer paper. I always thought it looked really bad and anything with the words ‘iron on’ always seemed like a cop out, but crafters like Rossie are rapidly changing my mind. I can see myself making a batch of onesies and bibs this way. I love embroidery, but it just takes so LONG!

Follow the link and you’ll also find a “World of Warcraft – level one human” onesie and “I may be a noob but I just pwned my nappy” onesie

Just so cute.

What do you think, inkjet transfer paper, yay or nay?

snowdalek

snowdalek

Driving through my neighborhood the other day, I saw a really impressive snow sculpture (two horses- seriously cool, and BIG) and it got me thinking about how bad I want to make a snow”man”.   Sooo, despite the fact I just said how sick I am of winter…  I’m hoping for one more good snow day so I can get to work!

A quick Google search leads you to around a billion snowdaleks, so I decided to just feature the best one.  I searched multiple sources, and made my decision…

Congratulations Afraid of Ducks/ Mark Merifield of London, you have the best snowdalek!  Amazing attention to proportion, scale and detail… you win 1000 internets and all bragging rights!!

An introduction, and Star Wars

Hello all! I’m Erin, one of the newbies here! I’ve only been seriously crafting for a year and a half, but I’ve been a geek all my life (I don’t remember a time when I hadn’t seen Star Wars). I’m a huge History fan (it was my major in college) and huge TV watcher and bibliophile. I mostly do embroidery, but I love seeing every kind of craft. I can’t wait to share all the geeky goodness I find with you!

Speaking of which…
An introduction, and Star Wars
It’s almost Christmas, but I’m still decorating. Do you know what my place needs? Snowflakes. Star Wars snowflakes!

Inspired by the snowflake her son was making, a Boba Fett/Storm Trooper snowflake was born. She also made a Vader-flake (and was kind enough to include patterns). After getting passed around the web, ThinkGeek found them and made more patterns, including a TIE fighter, Chewie, and a Dalek.

Dalek for a Good Cause

Dalek for a Good CauseA good friend of mine is raising money to help a friend with stage 3 ovarian cancer. You can help by bidding on her crafty auctions for items such as this amazing Dalek or by purchasing an ornament in The Fiercegrrl Fund Ornament Shop (including some made by yours truly).

About the Dalek:

I watched Nicholas create this at the ornament party and I was wowed by his commitment to detail and his inventive use of repurposed materials. He stood next to the hot glue gun for hours, meticulously placing each layer of evergreen fringe. This piece is about 5″ wide and stands about 9″ tall. It could easily take the place of a tree topper or could function as an ornament or decor item somewhere in your home.

The Dalek the Halls will be carefully packed and shipped to you via priority mail so you can enjoy your Dr. Wholiday with it. Though this piece is truly priceless, I don’t think we should accept less than $50. Let the bidding begin!

Please click through and buy something to help an amazing crafter!
