Some geeky DIY

I've been in such a crafting mood lately! With work, commissions and some overdue presents, I haven't had the time to really dig my fingers in and start (let alone where on EARTH would I put any of my finished projects? I don't have space for the stuff we have now.) That doesn't mean a girl can't dream, right?

First off, clearly we're doing it wrong.


This belongs to one of the many talented Lego artists. I wish we had the space and dedication for such a plastic bricked wonderland! Seriously, check out his and other's Lego work spaces, it's quite frankly insane. And so well organized!

Next, look how adorable these terrariums are! Used as centerpieces for someone's geeked out weeding. While execution could have been better, the idea and end result are phenominal. I mean, how easy is it to get some glass jars and build your own little nerdalicious landscape?

Totoro!
Gus' names from Psych!
Tardis!

Great idea, guys! They even had Scott Pilgrim inspired drink coozies as favors. You can see some more of their centerpieces at the Offbeat Bride, including Firefly, Katamari and Portal! *swoon*

How about this beautiful Hunger Games tote?


Mama wants! All things from ParamountPacific's Etsy shop are hand screen printed (and I've got my eye on that District 12 bag, myself...) Doesn't look like they have the bag in stock, but there is a matching tee! Has anyone tried their hand at screen printing? Even those little "screen printing in a can" things I've seen at Michaels? Once again something to be shelved until I have a proper studio. And time. And money.

I'm also crazy and I'm attempting a Tom Baker Doctor scarf for a friend's dad. It was supposed to be a Christmas present, but I knew there was no way I would even be starting it before the marathon. Between the aformentioned work and getting some rescue things done, I'm still on "52 Tan", and still have quite a ways to go.


Feel free to share any projects you might be working on, or an idea that sounded like you wanted to take it up! I was thinking of starting felting and picking up cross stitching again (you know, with my spare time.)
