Doctor Who Tardis Necklace

I'm branching out!  I have a deep love for all things Doctor Who.  Since the comeback in 2005 the show has gone 8 seasons (with the 8th having just started), 4 doctors and a series of companions.  A few weeks ago I saw several beautiful keyrings on Etsy with the Police Box.  I had an idea for a series of necklaces (and maybe keyrings on request) for myself and other Doctor Who lovers at large.

This is the first.


I have made two of these so far and they are ready to rock their way out the door to your house.  The Tardis adorns the main space while the charms on the sides represent Doctor Who #10, David Tennant, who wore Converse sneakers and of course the rose for Rose Tyler, first companion and Bad Wolf.  I adore the blue beads with rhinestones.  Yeah I said it.  Rhinestones.  Generally I think rhinestones are something better left in 70's country music and 80's bedazzling but on these beautiful blue spacers they give it the appearance that brings to mind the heartless daleks, the doctor's nemesis (one of them).

I will have enough charms to make more once I get more of the 18 inch snake chains I'm using.  These are perfect since they help hold the charms more outward rather than letting the charms slouch on top of the tardis. 

Since this is all wibbly wobbly timey wimey you should buy it now lest I sold out 10 minutes ago. :D  $30 with free shipping.  For the moment you'll have to email me but I'll have an Etsy link up soon.  Email link on the right.

*This is FAN ART.  I have collected the charms from different sellers all over the Continental US (nothing from overseas) and put them together on my own.   This has taken quite a bit of time and work.  I am not affiliated with the BBC but am a fan of their production.  First come, first serve.  Anything that is custom may take longer if I need to order more supplies.

Pumpkin King ... Mark III / In Pumpkin

I sure do love some Jack Skellington!  I'd been thinking about doing another Jack hat, considering it's almost Halloween.  This seemed like the perfect time. :)  This Jack hat was worked up to fit children/teen/young adult with head circ. of 20 1/2 inches. 

As Jack usually does, he had a menacing look on his face.  This one is complete and has ear flaps with black tassels. :)  You can find him on my ETSY shop for $22 + shipping.

Here's another angle of Jack with his long tassel like arms. ;)

Peacock Cape and headband

Peacock Cape and headband.  Headband is 11 inches circ. but can be stretched (it is yarn afterall).  The crown is 3 peacock feathers with some Lion Brand Fun Fur in Deep Sea and the rest is made with Caron Simply Soft Oceana.  I love the stuff.  All I have left is one piece of yarn the length of the doll I used. :p  I've wanted to do something peacock related and just learned how to crocodile stitch yesterday so this was born. :D

Baby Dimitri and Puppy Lovey

May 1st brought news that our newest nephew had been born.  Baby Dimitri weighed in at over nine pounds!  I wanted to make him something special and I'd wanted to try my hand at making a Lovey but I just wasn't sure what to do, so I sat down and started to crochet.  I'm not much for freestyle crochet because I feel I need a general pattern to follow but this just flowed.  I still wanted to make more so I made him a matching hat.  Yarns used were Vanna's Choice Barley and Grey Marble as well as I Love This Yarn (yes I really do) in Dark Country Blue and Grey Mist.

Headbands, get your headbands here

I've been doing small random projects recently and it wasn't until my wonderful hubby mentioned that I should make a chicken hat that I even thought about headbands again.  I did the puffy pinwheel one but I had not thought about doing another.  I created a small chicken headband and had Lil Bit try it on for me.  I hid most of his face as he HATES trying on the hats for pics.  (If you don't remember the infamous Leia pictures, keep scrolling)

Now I've created a pattern on @Home Ninja for the Chicken Dance Headband and a more docile, patriotic headband.  Here's a preview  :D
