The Day of Defeat Christmas Bauble

Just wanted to share this real quick before I get the urge to rip down anything Xmassy.

I made a lot of decorations for Christmas and since this was our first Christmas together in our new home, I wanted to make one as a little gift for Jed. He used to work as a freelance 3D model maker for Day of Defeat (WWII Half-Life mod), and so I made this Christmas tree bauble with a DoD theme. It looks great in the tree and I’m looking forward to unpacking it and hanging it up for years to come!

No Christmas without Halo

I don’t know about everyone else, but I know that the closer we get to Christmas, the more I want to spend all my time gaming. You know: snugly, warm Christmas holiday spent gaming in monkey pj’s. Completely natural. Right now I’m back in Everquest 2 for the Xmas content and generally rocking my own guild hall, and playing my way through Halo Anniversary.

Inspired by this, and by Xmas cheer, I’ve made a few gamer ornaments for our tree. Like this Halo Anniversary bauble:

 

Merry Christmas to all and every nerd!

Shit My Boyfriend Says

Handmade by a Friend

Some shots of a ring my friend Ylva Holmén made. We met at my job a couple of years ago, but she’s a full time glass artist now days, completely awesome! Very talented, and, no surprise there, very creative. You can find more pics of her work here.

How to make your girlfriend hot for you

I’ve lived in my apartment for a couple of years now, but other than the re-modelling from then I bought the place nothing much else has happened. No new hooks in the bathroom or kitchen, no new shelves, no improved storage. And I’m a girl. I love good storage. You know how it is…

But Jed is not only my hot geeky boyfriend, he is also very practical, crafty and handy. “I will build you shelves”, he said, and then he did. I’m working 12-hours shifts this weekend, and yesterday  I received this pic on my phone:

Also, my cat was apparently helping out:

For a girl hat has had no decent storage in years this is a pretty big deal! I have had my shoe boxes in a pile in the bedroom, for goodness sake! MY SHOES!

So, Jed kept at it today, transforming my wardrobes into something usable, and I’m soon off from work, can’t wait to see what he’s done. He’s building up my expectations though… Several texts during the day have told me things are AWESOME:

Jed: “Best shelf ever!”

Me: “Can’t wait to see it!”

Jed: “I’m so gonna get some tonight :)

Me: “Darn tooting right!”

Jed: “I got all your shoe boxes in with room to spare.”

He knows he’s getting lucky ;) And he knows why!

Die, Billy, die!

I really wish I could sew. Then I would make this doll. And then I would hide under my friend Tricks bed and scare the living crap out of her. I know she’s appreciate it. After a while.

Billy has been the subject of a lot of grief, anger, frustration, hate… I remember when the Nektulos Forest zone was a bit more populated and you would hear people randomly screaming: ”I HATE BILLY!” a couple of times a day. Now, almost 6 years after the release of the game, it is something of a battle cry, and you can always scream this in any chat channel. You will always get a couple of people screaming it with you for sympathy.

This is a haiku written by Spindle from the Antonia Bayle server:

How I hate Billy
Now he comes in a plushie
I want one now too

More people have made Billy dolls, like Morianne of Maren Maria Bears, and she even made him a girlfriend:

Billy, creepy doll extraordinarie

And for those who are not familiar with the magic moppet Billy, this is the guy… Damn I hate that little bugger!

Die, Billy, die!

 

NaNoWriMo – snartsnartsnart

November är snart här, yessir, no shit, no joke! Har många idéer i år, som jag ju inte kan börja skriva på än. Va fan liksom. Så jag gjorde dessa under tiden:

jen_nanowrimo_earrings

Stort tack till Xboxflickan för inspirationen :)

Lim, lim överallt!

Kan knappt fatta att jag efter att ha jobbat långvecka på jobbet så hade jag lust att scrappa lite när jag kom hem! Men det berodde nog dels på att det var städat när jag kom hem, och dels på att jag kom på en idé under dagen som jag väldigt gärna ville prova.

Nu har jag lim på naglarna, chalks på hakan och prylar över hela vardagsrummet… För ett enda litet kort. Kreativitet föds ur kaos? Hmmm…

Sara jagar bubblor

Ett kväll hemma hos Sara full av pyssel :) Här försöker hon jaga ut en bubbla från ett stämplat motiv hon haft lack på (som jag tyvärr sedan mosade med sladden till värmepistolen, ack ack).

God Jul!

Det är inte jul utan pyssel! Det har varit väldigt kul att slå in julklapparna i år, som kunde pyntas med lite fina stämplar och annat bling bling. Att göra egna etiketter är så mycket roligare än de färdigköpta!

Fick även inspiration av Badanka! Vi kan ju inte ha någon riktig gran, eftersom vår katt Sigge skulle ha ner och äta upp varenda kula och barr på nolltid. Så i avsaknad av gran passade jag på att testa Åsas fantastiska scrappgran.  Gjorde några extra att ge bort! Så här blev de:
