More Legos!

Check out some of these awesome video game lego creations! These were made by flickr user Saber-Scorpion. First off, some Assassin's Creed!

I know it's a tiny picture, but I think it's really cool. I love the bird flying around the top. Just like in the game! Altair is even sitting up at the very top.
And here is Altair fighting some Templars. I love the little horsey!
And from Mass Effect--the Mako. Oh Mako, how I hate thee. Hopefully the second game will have better Mako missions. (Also, if anyone is interested, watch this awesome Mass Effect 2 video. I'm so excited!)

And I'm not really sure about this one, but I see Master Chief in there so I'm assuming it has something to do with Halo. Since I haven't really played Halo all that much I really have no idea what is going on in this picture. It looks icky though.

Anyway, that's it for now! I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so it might be a little quiet around here for a couple of days (just like normal, am i rite?). I hope everyone has a nice weekend! I'm sure all of the nerds out there are excited about Harry Potter, so I bet everyone will be all busy with that for a while. Stay tuned!

Found on Ravelry

Check out some of the awesome stuff I've been finding on Ravelry lately. That place is so cool! And there are lots of nerds there, too, which makes finding really cool stuff really easy. Also, you can search projects by what kind of yarn is used--which is good for me, since most of the time I just buy really pretty yarn but have no idea what to do with it. But anyway, here are some of the more nerdy projects I've found floating around.
First off--probably the most awesome use of granny squares ever. I like that it isn't a traditional square shape, and is just the outline of Mario. Even so, this thing must be pretty huge. I think there are over 350 granny squares on this thing.
These little dragons are too adorable. They are babies! I love their little tiny wings and their little head spikeys. I think I might go buy the pattern for them--I want to make a small army of them.

I like this project because it's something I never would of thought anyone would make--a Snakes on a Plane hat. I mean, I know the movie was all posed to be something really awesome, but it kind of flopped and it was kind of a while ago--I just didn't think that anyone would go through all of this trouble. It's awesome though!

And this little cute octorok! And not just any octorok--it's a boss. I love all of the little details on the top of him. Also he looks really angry.

Hope you guys enjoy! I haven't really been crocheting much, this kind of almost makes me want to pick up my hook again. Almost. Still plugging away on the embroidery for now, though. Stay tuned!

Cute little custom monsters

I am always awed at the really cool original stuff that people come up with. I mean, it's always really cool to see another cross stitch "the cake is a lie" sampler, but sometimes the original things people come up with are the best. These little guys are a great example of that--they are totally adorable, original, and I want one so bad. This artist, LucyRavenscar, also has some geeky sensibilities--she is the one who made these little adorable Star Wars people. Anyway, check these little monsters out!

This one is a rock spirit. Rocks can be cute, too!
This one is called a Dandelion Dragon. I could totally imagine him as some wise old kung fu master in a movie!
This one--probably my favorite--is the ice troll. I love his little fangs. And I like how happy he looks.And this one is a dawn spirit. I love how the yarn colors on the tummy really look like a sunrise.

In addition to all of these being adorable, most of them are made with fuzzy yarn, which is my enemy. I have to totally respect someone who can use it so well and use it more than once because of how crappy it is to work with.

Oh, and for anyone who wanted a geeky fix even after seeing these little adorable guys, check out her free Wicket the Ewok crochet pattern! Gotta love free patterns. And check out her etsy page--she sells these little guys on there, but my favorites are all sold out! And they look like they are very reasonable prices, too. Anyway, stay tuned! I'm slowly making my way through my embroidery piece (not original, based on a video game, but what can you do) and I'm going to need some more TV shows to watch soon. Ah well.

The greatest geek church ever

Stained glass isn't just for the churchies anymore! Check out these awesome stained glass windows--well, some of them are pretty small, maybe not window sized, but still pretty cool. I wish that I could do something this awesome.

I really like this one. The lightsaber looks really cool when the light is coming through the window. I like how simple it is, and the composition.
This one isn't really a stained glass piece, but it is a fused glass frame. At $80 it's a little expensive for an everyday picture frame, but I guess if you have a picture of yourself getting the high score on a pacman arcade machine it would be the only option for you.

This one is a candle holder. I bet it looks really pretty at night all lit up. I like the windwaker designs that are used, too. Once again, though, at $100 it's a little out of my price range.


Here's one that's a little cheaper! At $25 this little sun catcher is cute, affordable and pretty. Now if only I watched Dr. Who!

Anyway, I just thought these were pretty. I wish that I knew how to do stained glass--I would probably cover my whole apartment in it. How about something like this for the living room? Totally. Stay tuned!

The ABC's of Nerdiness

I love looking at alphabet books. They always have the neatest illustrations in them. But even the very coolest one I've ever seen (it was about kitties!) cannot compare to these awesome pictures. These are made by an awesome artist named Neil Cameron--the alphabet is an ongoing project, and he is taking suggestions for future letters! I think he is up to "R" at this point. Check out some of my favorites!



I like this one. Inebriated Iron Man is pretty hilarious, if you think about it. Though I guess Tony Stark is an alcoholic, so it's not that much of a stretch--still, I love all of the beer splashed on his armor.

Poor Pika!I wonder if people with letters as names have a support group or something? And if they did, would Q blink them into a fight with the Borg?

There's many more nerdy letters over at his website, so be sure to take a look over there. Stay tuned!

Puts the "throw" in "throw pillow"

This is one mean looking pillow, people. You just put your head down for a nice nap and wake up with your head partially decomposed. Say hi to Boba Fett while you are down there!


See, the sarlacc is bragging about nabbing Boba Fett (even though he eventually got away). I guess he (she?) is waving around the helmet to show the other sarlacc's how awesome he (she?) is. Are there really other sarlaccs? I'm not even sure. And if there were, do you think they would brag about what they got to eat? I wonder if they make miniature sarlaccs for garbage disposals. I haven't had much sleep, can you tell?Made by ScumptiousDelight for the Stitch Wars show. Stay tuned!

Don't step on me!

Check out this adorable bath mat! I found it on Craftster the other day, and I just can't stop thinking about how cute it is! The little curl is just too adorable.


It's crocheted out of strips of cotton fabric, that's why it is so big. Then the eyes and mouth are made out of felt. I'm not really sure how waterproof it is, but I know that I want thirty of them laying on my floor. I was also considering making a Pikachu--maybe a Pikachu all curled up and sleeping or something? Or maybe a Ghastly or Koffing or something, they probably don't get as much love as their brighter colored Pokemon friends.

If you want to make your own, go to ragrugcafe.com to learn how to make this kind of rug! Then all you have to do is find the right colors, glue on some eyes and wham! Your very own pokemon. This would also be a good present for those people who hate pokemon, since they can step on them all day. Stay tuned!

Don't lose your head!

Check out this awesome fell beast! I don't think they get enough love in the Lord of the Rings universe. Made by the same girl who made this dragon I have already talked about. The dragons themselves were cute enough (and inspired by the Reign of Fire dragons, so they were already kind of nerdy), but now she modified her pattern to make a fell beast.


Look at his little teeth! Isn't he so adorable? I like the little spikeys on his back. And everything is poseable! There are wires running all through the neck and wings so that you can reenact your very favorite scene from Lord of the Rings. As long as it's not the part where he gets his head chopped off.

You can pick up the pattern for the original dragon over on etsy, but as of right now there is no pattern for the fell beast. And check out even more pictures over on Craftster! I think I might need one of these to guard my Lord of the Rings DVDs. Anyway, stay tuned!

Grr! Argh!

Alright, just a quick note about this adorable little embroidery project I found over on flickr by TiLT creation!

Dinosaurs? Awesome. Firefly? Awesome. I love the colors she used on the dinosaurs, they are adorable. And I love the childish looking scirbbly font, too. It looks like something Wash would totally draw. Anyway, just a quick note! Back to my own embroidery.
