This clever idea comes to you via Mels at Geek Crafts. In order to add some zombie love to your morning you need some grass coloured yarn (it’s not sold in rotting flesh tones, but grass green is pretty good), a H/8 crochet hook, a tapestry needle, one large button and other buttons, felt, floss […]
Goomba cake, Goomba cake and if that’s not very clear; Goomba Cake!
Goombas (known as Kuribo or Chestnut People in Japan) are a race of sentient mushroom men from the world of Mario. We’ve seen plenty of cute and clever Goomba stuff over the years but this cake from Mike’s Amazing Cakes is a new tasty high for me. Hmm. Goomba goodness.
Robotically cool Transformer costume
This impressive costume was built by Derepentigny Marc who graduated as a machinist in 1995. He likes to push the limits of what he can built and tends to favour transformable costumes, robots, models and dragons. Got to have a bit of dragonfire in there. Via Mark’s Projects

Star Wars Day: The Stormtrooper blooper
This blooper has been seen by millions. I certainly remember it… but has it made it through all the edits of the special editions? If you’re yet to see it the clip above shows the Stormtrooper bonking his head on a doorway on the way to the control room while the heroes are stuck in […]

The Crimson Horror video clips and previews
Tonight’s Doctor Who, The Crimson Horror, features Diana Rigg as Winifred Gillyflower. She’s expected to be a baddie. Rigg will be known to geeks outside the UK as Lady Olenna Tyrell, the Queen of Thorns, in the Game of Thrones TV series. In fact, she’s rarely been away from the screen but will be known […]
Star Wars Day: Star Wars Lightsaber lollies
These are new to me! Ice lollies that look like lightsabers. They’re sold by Tesco and probably other retailers in two flavours; strawberry and lemon and lime. In other words; Yoda and Darth flavour. The good news is that they’re suitable for vegeterians but may contain nuts! I think they work well as mini lightsabers. […]
Star Wars Day: Love is Cake
Created by the talented Helen at Love is Cake. Star Wars cupcakes aren’t new but these are especially good loooking ones. The quality of the spaceships is high – oh, and look, an explosion behind the Tie fighter.
