Another new geeky blogger….

Hello out there, this is gia or “hookedhands” as I am sometimes referred to by the store that sells my dolls or anyone who stumbles upon my blog where I discuss various yarnbombs (i.e. Totoro, boobs for breast cancer, etc etc.)  and other projects.  I also make what I think are underrepresented pop culture dolls and sell them over here (think daria, the big lebowski, porco rosso).  I have a 3 year old who is a total geek in the making.  This is totally my fault.  I’m hoping his good looks will make up for the longwinded discussions he’s bound to have with people about Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

I’ll be one of your resident bloggers.  I’ll try not to link to too many ewok crafts.  Look for me on Tuesdays.

 

Here’s a little picture of my latest creation.  The dude just never stops abiding:

Christmas, Geek-Style

Geek Gift Guide Etsy Treasury

We’re deep in Christmas gift-list-making mode at our house, making sure the kids have made their lists, with enough options to divvy up amongst the grandparents, aunts & uncles, and us. Does anyone else have to coordinate all that? It’s enough to make me want to sing a version of “OY to the World”!

Fortunately, if you’re running out of ideas for the geek(s) in your life, Etsy’s got you covered with their Treasuries. Redd takes care of posting great Treasuries here, but for even more ideas, just search for “geek” at Etsy. I promise you will get many more ideas than you have gold-pressed latinum.

Do you have a geeky gift guide Treasury put together? Feel free to link us up in the Comments!

Harness the Power of the Keyblade

When battling the Heartless, it’s always good to have your trusty Keyblade with you.

Jewelry by Aimee has created the perfect necklaces to carry your many different keyblades with you at all times.

These necklaces are awesome, and come in a handful of the different kinds of Keyblades found in Kingdom Hearts. My personal favorites are the Fairy Harp Keyblade and the Oathkeeper Keyblade.

Dicey Decor Feature

Today I would like to put Claudia into the spotlight for her amazing crafting skill combine with geekyness.

I stumbled upon Claudia’s store when looking for Christmas presents for my geeky boyfriend. Claudia runs an Etsy store Dicey Decor. She makes and sells glass works based around Dice used for geeky games such as Dungeons & Dragons.
She makes model dice lamps, clocks, candle dishes, paperweights, keyrings, planters, picture frames, dice bowls + boxes. As you can see her work is amazing and perfect gifts for the geek in your life (or just for yourself). I truly recommend a visit to her store!
