Geek Craft Roundup

I'm sick with a minor cold so I'm on the couch watching Doctor Who.  This seems to leave me with no choice besides a geeky craft round-up.

I made this needle felted Dalek about a year ago.  If you don't know what a Dalek is, start watching Doctor Who.  You can see the whole tutorial here.

Next, a golden snitch necklace for all the Harry Potter fans out there.  I made one of these once but here's another cute design with a tutorial.

Start getting ready for Catching Fire with this arrow headband by baileytann.  While there, take a spin around the blog to find some other great geek crafts.

For all the fans of The Big Bang Theory, celebrate your inner Sheldon with a quirky cross-stitch like this one made by LadyLeitzen on craftster.

Bazinga Embroidery Piece

Feel like a superhero with these glittery wonder woman shoes.  I'm kind of wondering why I haven't made these for myself yet.

Thanksgiving Roundup

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  Happy Thanksgiving!  We're going to be having friends over to celebrate.  Today I'm going to attempt a pecan pie.  In case you need a last minute Thanksgiving treat, here are some fun Thanksgiving finds.

First, one of mine.  Last year we got crazy and made a cake pop turkey.  If you are feeling crazy, this is the project for you:

Next, some gorgeous fabric leaves.  If you are a fabric hoarder and are looking for some adorable table decorations, this is a great project for you.  The tutorial can be found at Dot Girl Blog here.

If you are looking for an adorable turkey decoration, go no further than this tutorial for an embroidery hoop turkey from Gwenny Penny.  Could he be any cuter?  Even as I'm typing this I'm wondering if I have the materials to make one now...

If you are looking for a cute way to share things that you are thankful for, here's a cute display option from It Happened Like This.  You could easily set something up for all of your guest to add their thanks to.

Hope you found a great project to help you celebrate.  Have a fantastic day tomorrow!  Thanks for reading!!

Fall Food and Craft Roundup

Hey Friends!

Great news!  My cast is off!  I have a walking boot and need to do some physical therapy to get back in perfect shape, but I can actually walk!  I drove myself somewhere for the first time in over six weeks.  Where did I go?  Joanns craft store!  Duh!  Since I'm still working on moving around like a normal human, I don't have any of my own crafts to show you this week.  But here's some neat projects from others that you can check out for inspiration!  Enjoy.
