Doctor Who Giveaway

Season 7 of Doctor Who will premiere Saturday, September 1st at 9:00 pm on BBC America! Can you tell I am excited? So in celebration of the new season of Doctor Who, I am going to do my first giveaway!

 What's at stake? A Doctor Who accessory set (made by me!) which includes:

• A Tardis bag (thats bigger on the inside) 
• Bow-tie wristband 
• Doctor who zipper pouch

Rules: 

• You have to be a follower of Nerd Craft Librarian 
• Leave comment on this post (simple as that!) 

The winner will be chosen at random using Random.org and will be announced on Saturday September 15th!

The upcoming season is going to be bittersweet because it was announced that we will be saying good-bye to Amy and Rory. They have been my favorite companions to date! When characters and actors transition in and out Whovians are usually skeptical and think "I don't know about this." Then they do something really great and then your in love so we'll see how this new gal is. We don't have to completely say farewell to the Ponds just yet! There will be a mini series, called Pond Life. Some mini prequel episodes are already out!



Enjoy the series premiere and good luck to you all!

Operation Scraps

Its been a while. A lot has been going on. Halloween happened and had a party for tims birthday. I was also sick for what felt like the entire month of October :( !! Thankfully it is over!

And I am back to making stuff. I have a new project I am working on. I am calling it operation scraps! I am always looking for new fun projects but I usually end up with a lot of scrap fabric and it just sits in my scrap box taking up space. So I have vowed (and promised my husband) that I would not buy any new fabric until this big mess was used up! (or at least mostly gone)

I have made a few of these babies. They are small bags and can be used as a Make up or pencil case. I like the quilted look of them and they are easy to make. I am also going to apply the same quilted technique to a bag and possibly some pillow covers.

I have scoured the inter-webs to look for suggestions as well. There are some really great ones here on Burda Style. And am still looking for more tutorials. 
Another thing I have done recently is I made things for myself! I made this neato bag from a pattern that was in Stitch Magazine. It looks really floppy but its not that bad. I was supposed to use a more durable fabric or use interfacing (but was impatient and did it anyway) But I like having a gigantic bag.

Also in stitch I found a pattern for a pin cushion. Since my little tomato wasn't cutting it anymore I made this cute little hedgehog guy. Ain't he adorable? It was another quick easy project and introduced me to the concept of sewing three dimensional stuffed things! There may be more exploration with this technique in the future!

whose that sour-faced dork in the background?!

I have also been doodling a lot more like I used to. Here is a cool picture I made of Thom Yorke doing is mad dancey dance. (sorry its sideways)
