Quiz: Which Cult Film Are You?

Answer: You are Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory!
cult-film_wonka_st-400x210
You’re a visionary and an idealist. You have grandiose dreams of making the world a better place. But in order to do so, you have to test who will be part of your team… and if they don’t have what it takes… OUT!

Thoughts: I have never been and will never be called an idealist. I do have dreams and goals, but they’re only necessary to keep me from being lazy. I definitely fit the second half of the description, though. And I’m pretty crazy, just like this film. I’ve been known to break into song and binge on candy, so that’s pretty accurate.

Craft: House Elf Sign

By

Sep 2014

Here’s a spot for socks without matches to find a most important home: with house elves.

This was another craft inspired by several different versions I saw on Pinterest. I made this for a swap, but I also wanted to make one for my local Harry Potter group because we’re having a tea in honor of Dobby (and his tea cozy). But I made mine more general for any house elf that needs freeing.

Materials:

  • Chalk board
  • Clothespin
  • Chalk
  • Sock
  • Glue gun
  • Markers

License Plate: AAAARGH

By

Sep 2014

Not exactly a fandom, but September 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day and Pirates of the Carribean is one of my fandoms, so I’m counting this (especially as I don’t think I ever got a photo of the Captain Sparrow license plate that used to be in my old neighborhood–on a black car).

AAAARGH

This one is just so much fun to say!

And, yes, September 19 is also Hermione’s birthday, but I just did a Harry Potter one in July, so I’m going for some variety here.

Top Ten: Characters I Sort Into Hufflepuff

By

Sep 2014

hufflepuff_crestPeople who know me know I like to sort people I meet into Hogwarts Houses. I can’t do it with all people, but some people give off pretty strong indicators. I do the same thing with fictional characters.

I thought it would be fun to come up with 10 characters I sort into particular houses. And, as I’m a Hufflepuff, I thought I’d start with my favorite house. I thus give you ten characters I usually sort into Hufflepuff:

Quiz: What Lego Movie Character are You?

Answer: Emmet
Emmet
You want to be popular, but you have a hard time standing out in the crowd. Being ordinary though, might just make you extraordinary.

Thoughts: Okay, I would have thought Emmet was too brave to be my result. But the description here actually fits me just fine 🙂 I’m okay with this. I don’t really want to be popular, but I do want to be liked. so that’s close. I do really love following directions. If I had to choose a character I’m closest to… I’d probably have to choose Mrs. Scratchen-Post. LOL

Top Ten: Fandom Creations at Brickfair

By

Aug 2014

Okay, once again I fail at a Top Ten list and had to go Top Fifteen. I don’t see anyone complaining. There is so much fannish goodness that comes out of somewhere like a LEGO fan convention and so much creativity. I couldn’t help but admire more than just ten! Despite being numbered, these are really in no particular order. Click on the photos for bigger versions, please! These previews are somewhat blurry and don’t do them justice. Seriously, click on them for a proper look. Trust me. Also, the titles are my own in most but not all cases, because I have to call them something and not all the MOC cards came out in my photos.

Quiz: Which Star Wars Character Are You?

Quiz: Which Star Wars Character Are You?

Answer:
HanSolo

Thoughts: Huh. Interesting. Not in a million years would I have ever seen comparisons between Han Solo and me. I think I’m more like pretty much any other character, actually. Okay, yes, I can be sharp, resourceful, and independent at times. I’m good at heart and, okay, I like furry friends. But… I think that’s it. I’d never be a smuggler or shady or even remotely scoundrel-like! What a strange result. I was secretly hoping for R2-D2.

Craft: Captain Jack Sparrow ATC

Apparently, I skipped a craft post! Here it is, a little late: a Captain Jack Sparrow ATC. It was for one part of a series of Johnny Depp characters; this was the only swap in the series I joined.

Front:
CaptainJackSparrowATC-01

Back:
CaptainJackSparrowATC-Back

I created and/or cut out these small elements and it felt like I was scrapbooking on a smaller scale here 🙂 I had a hard time finding a map I liked and coloring it to fit my scheme.

Top Ten: Things That Harry Potter Has Given Me

By

Jul 2014

harry_potter_paperback_setHarry Potter is one of my main fandoms, and its books and movies have given me entertainment, wisdom and concepts worthy of great thought, and all sorts of emotional rewards (not even counting great fanfiction). But there are some other, unexpected things that have come with the stories.
