Simply Sunday

Well, better late than never!

Okay, so.. I always love finding new music, artists and writers. I am going to do a shameless plug for a Miss Kelly Said. And you can find her lovely website here. Hoorah! 



She is in 3 anthonlogies, which are great. Really! It's a lot of science fiction, fantasy vampire mermaid fiction. It is awesome. I love it. She is amazing. <3

Follow her on Twitter!

Argh Saturday Slipped By!

No excuse. I am sorry :( 


Anywho it is Saturday! Hooray! Other than being stung by a very angry hornet, it was a very relaxing day. I find sitting with a colored (mine is blue) light on, it helps the mood. Oh snap advice. 

Well here to take your mind away from that nonsense!

Minecraft. Boom Blew your mind!
That's a very nice everything you have there... be a shame if something were to happen to it.
The link to this adorable addition can be found here.

Then I thought, how absolutely easy and fun would it be to make one? Well your fearless leader found a pretty great tutorial and pattern on instructables which I've kindly linked here!

Oh yeahh we are SO awesome today!
It's late, forgive me.
I really do enjoy Minecraft oodles and I have go through monds of forums to fix the bugs, find mods and texture packs. If you happen to find you want a review on well then by all means E-Mail to me, throw down a comment (I do read them!) or send me a tweet! (I'll post contact info at the bottom :D )

Okay, because this stuff was like Super amazing, I have to share!


It's needed.

How. Fucking. Awesome. Are these? 
These need red and blue lights in them. 
And I want both.
Buy them here.


Okay well.

DIY'Days

New Project! 

All about love ♥


Okay well in my craft madness I realized I was making things to enlighten my home, but nothing really for me and the Mr. 

Until I saw this
And I thought, that could be just places you love to go, or want to go, or first date....lightbulb.


So what I did was first found a little frame about 7x6, it's black for what it's worth.
Then I tried to think of important place to MisterGeeker and I. Well...
There is Denver, Colorado. 
I have the movie stub of our first date still sitting in my billfold. Which is Monopoly themed by the way.
So I cut out Denver in a little heart.
First Date.

There is North Platte, Nebraska.
It was a road trip so he could meet my old friends there my step-brother. 
The circle was totally random.
First road  Trip.

There is Rapid City, South Dakota.
We finally managed to get our own place together, with our little Mutt-Face. When we moved in, we had a basic stocked kitchen, T.V, couch, folding table, bed, computer, dresser, lamp. Now we have everything we basically need, have decorations and pictures on the wall and after nearly a year, it finally feels like Home
First Home.
Also, cut that out as a little house. sqeee!

The happiness I felt while making this was amazing. Thinking about these memories, some nearly 4 years old. (I know whhhaaatt!)
Time flies.

Anywho, I've had my fill of sappiness, TIME TO CREATE!!!
I cut out each label (and dang it didn't take pictures of the steps.) arranged them how I would like them laid out in the measurements of the frame. 
I did a little vine-y filigree around the sides to kind of spruce it up a bit. 
outline the words in black marker then began gluing!! Mwahahahaha!

and Voila! 
Craft!



This is tre' cute and super great to make :) took about oh, an hour but that's because I wanted some cute font and could not decide for the life of me. I know this is like uber girly, but when MisterGeeker saw it...
We hugged.
It was great.

Winning.

Okay! MadamGeeker, signing off!


A *Hopeful* Schedule

♦Schedule♦

Hopefully....Idealistically there will be one :D 


I will try very hard to follow something like this, I'm sure I'll revise it here and there. But! At least it's something to go by :) 

  • Sunday - "Scatterbrain Sunday" - Something I've found very interesting I.E, A picture, fact, movie, craft idea, ect. 
  • Monday - Reviews! Movie, book and games are the focus here. 
  • Tuesday - Probably nothing...maybe news? (blog changes, updates... World of Warcrafts updates are Tuesday... Seemed appropriate.) 
  • Wednesday - Project announcement, or something along the lines of talking about it. Something like poll questions, probably where contest days are.  :D 
  • Thursday (just zippin' right along aren't we?) Probably another DIY update. 
  • Friday Free Day, no awesome name thinking used. hehe. Either no posting or just a random post or what have you. Perhaps a Website Refer/Review. Such as something I might find useful o the crafter at hand, or a great website worth a looking. 
  • Saturday - Shopping Saturday! - Reviews on AWESOME merchandise and Things on my Wishlist! 


Always feel free to comment, inbox me, follow me on Twitter! @MadamGeeker. If you have questions, comments or suggestions for material you'd like to see! Within a reasonable logic. 


I think that about covers it all....for now.
See You Later!  ♥


Random Picture just because I like you.

My Exact Thoughts On Starting This Blog

Well, I guess I just jumped right in didn't I? 


My goal is to post pictures of project ideas, awesome pictures I may stumble upon, game reviews, (That's right, and there is going to be a schedule!) books, movies... basically anything I find awesome and worth sharing with you!

But what about your amazing writer blogger extraordinaire?
I have an amazing fiance who, may not completely understand my obsession with crafts, totally enjoys the geek side of me. Which makes for a pretty harmonious arrangement. We also have like the best mutt faced dog ever.

Le Daisy ♥


We live in South Dakota (GASP!) and enjoy it very much! Gaming, working, cooking (did I mention I'll TOTALLY post recipes? Because I will...) Just an ecceltic amount of things here with the general topic of geekery! Well, I think that is a fairly good introduction to moi! ♥

See you around!




In The Beginning.....

I begin a thought that hey, I love my geekness.. let's exploit it! :D 

So here I will be listing my personal favorite amazing projects and things I will start attempting! 

And I start with a simple stencil template design... of course Star Wars first!




A little rough around the edges, but I cleaned those up! I have this little red tin that had been sadly just sitting around my house, but it had some silly permanent marker writings on it, so I figured HEY! I can clean that up! 


And voila! Some masking tape and glitter mixed with this fantastic metal shimmer paint I came across at Hobby Lobby and some mod-podge (well it's basically Mod-Podge, if you can afford, that's what I would recommend!) EZ-PZ. And fabulous!  

I love it. really, I do... but you can still see that drating marker! So! I took some paint mixed with mod-podge since I don't have any primer and this is metal, just won't cover properly.

Annndddd....


~Close up~



It's hard to see on the camera (I don't own a digital camera, something I will def invest in!) It's just our little phones, but I like the copper tones it adds. I want to take this is a steampunked direction. Add some wiring and gears to really make it pop. But I really enjoyed doing this project :) Hope to do TONS more like it!

See ya soon!
