My geek box August review

I got my second geek box this morning, and this month's theme is QUEST! LEt's take a look shall we?


Some Hobbit postcards - I loved the Hobbit but postcards are a bit disappointing.


A Game of Thrones bookmark. Haven't read the books or seen the programme but I can always do with more bookmarks.


The other side of the bookmark.


A Funko figure. As I've said before I haven't seen Game of Thrones but I appreciate a good figure.


Out of the box - it's cute.


This month's t-shirt design. I love this! Reservoir Dogs is my favourite Tarantino flick and I'm a huge Tolkien fan, so I'm very pleased with this.


Bertie Bott's every flavour beans from Harry Potter. I don't eat jellybeans so someone else can have these. Now the question is, do I take off the ingredient list so that someone eats a funny flavoured one by mistake?

This box is ok. I love the t shirt and the figure, but I'm disappointed by the limits under the Quest theme. They could have had Zelda, WoW, or any number of films/games with an epic quest, instead of limiting themselves to two franchises and throwing in the beans as an afterthought for a third. That being said, I will give them another shot, as I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do with the Apocalypse theme.

    Interesting selection Emma. I love that little dragon,super cute,worth it just for that.

    Thank you for the lovely comment on my blog,don't think I would ever be picked for a team because my style is probably not 'main stream' enough,which is what I like :)

What to do when you hit a wall?

Sorry guys, this is gonna be another pic-lite one. This is for two reasons. The first is because I decided to be a complete idiot the other day and crack my head open on the door at work, so I have to take things easy for a couple of days. The second is strange. I woke up the other day and it was as if someone had flipped a switch. All of the self-confidence that I had built up through my crafting over the last year has disappeared - just like that. I've spent the large majority of my life thinking that I am not good enough; in what I do, what I say, in short, in who I am. With crafts I was finally starting to believe in myself. So it is very hard at the moment, as I feel that I am right back at square one. I am hoping that this is temporary, and that I will soon feel myself again. I have to remind myself that I am very early in my crafting journey, and there are bound to be bumps along the way. I am aware that it is probably linked to my current state of high anxiety, as susta...

Altering again!

My craft mojo came back! I decided to treat myself the other day to a new paper pad, and chose G45 Steampunk Spells. Graphic 45 papers are expensive but boy are they worth it! I wish I'd got into them sooner as there are some older pads that are gorgeous, but unavailable now. Anyway, once I got the pad and overcame the urge to just admire the paper and do nothing with it, I got to work. I decided to try to make something to enter into a couple of challenges, namely the  Craft room something old, something new challenge  and  That's Crafty! Girl power challenge . The first thing to do was to decide what to make. I was going to do a card, but then I found this: This was a cutlery drawer that a friend gave me. To be honest I have been using it to store sharpies in, but no more. Here it is now: What a change! I started by painting it in black acrylic, then got to work on each section. I used the Clockworks paper for the background, cut out some cloc...

Drawering a crowd

So, this week I've done something a little different. This is before... This is after.... Obviously there's two of them! These are my mums bedside drawers, which are over 30 years old and now have a new lease of life.  I've also been working on the stitch. 31% down now. Until next time Ems
