LeakyCon Countdown-Thirsty Thursday (SONIC SCREWDRIVER)

Welcome to Thirsty Thursday...

Everything could be a bit more sonic...

It's 13 days till LeakyCon 2013 Portland starts and I'm already worried about packing, and crossing the US Border and getting lost and forgetting that important thing I need, and what if the hotel forgot our reservation and... panic panic panic.

So it's time to just relax and make a Sonic Screwdriver.

Now there are many recipes out there for the Sonic Screwdriver. This is one I altered myself and is a favourite among friends and family.

11's Green Sonic

1 shot Malibu Coconut*
1 shot Rose's Blue Raspberry Mix**
Fill with orange juice and stir

*(Malibu may be substituted for vodka for a more screwdriver taste, however I prefer Malibu)
**(Blue Curacao liqueur can also be substituted instead)

10's Blue Sonic

1 part Vodka
1 part Rose's Blue Raspberry Mix

Shake with ice and pour into glass

They've been pictured as shots here, but I have also had them in high ball glasses as well.

Cheers!

Leaky Con 2013-TARDIS Dress

So my mom surprised me with a TARDIS dress to wear while I'm attending Leaky Con 2013 in Portland, OR.

She made it from a floor length gown and a jacket. Unfortunately there was no in between sewing shots but there will be of the hat that I'm putting together this week to finish the look off.

I've paired it with some space leggings. The signage it all going to be added this week so I'll be posting more pictures with the fully completed outfit soon.

All that is left to do is finish the hat, add the POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX signage and the ST John's Ambulance sign.

Tomorrow's post will be all about the Sonic Screwdriver drinks!

Cheers!

Ironman 3 Arc Reactor cookies

With the new release if ironman 3 in theatres, I simply had to make cookies!

Arc reactor sugar cookies! *not guaranteed to save you from life threating situations.

I took my favourite sugar cookie recipe,  baked them up and decorated them with icing to look like little arc reactors. It was the first time I've used icing on sugar cookies ( I'm more of a sprinkles person) so they didn't turn out too bad.

Cheers!

I mustache you a question!

What do you think of these cuties?

Made from a old pair of heels that the pattern on them had gotten wrecked and a roll of mustache ducktape. Probably more suited for mustache movember,  but I think I'll be wearing them out this summer! 

They were super easy to put together and now with duck tape offering so many cool patterns its a great way to spice up your shoes! 

Happy crafting!

Last day before the big 20

Its my birthday tomorrow and I work,  so all my celebrating will be tonight and Saturday.  Though from the sounds of it my co-workers may be getting me a cake. So I figured lets start celebrating!

This little pumpkin looking drink is the Pumpkin King pudding shot. It consists of butterscotch pudding,  rum and whip cream. I actually didn't put as much rum in as called for. I ended up dumping 3 shots into the pudding mix when the recipe called for 1 shot to every 2 spoonfuls.  Mine seem a little strong but that could just be me. I like my liquor to complement the drink or dish.

If you're wanting to try this for yourself youtube pumpkin king pudding shot.

Tardis Centerpeice

It the week long  count down to my birthday and I'm beginning to wrap up all my little projects.
This one was a Tardis Centrepeice for my cakes and drinks.

This is is a mid way point photo where my cat had to borrow it to go on a adventure.

It was created out of two cardboard boxes. One for the body of the tardis and one for the top. I then covered everything in paper and painted it royal tardis blue. The windows are made out of white construction paper and the police box sign was printed off, while the panels were simply drawn in. A fake tealight was drawn on and flickers appropriately when placed ontop of the Tardis.

For a hour long project it turned out fairly well.

Happy Crafting!

Harry Potter Shoes

Last night I was in possession of a Harry Potter Sticker Book ($2 at local dollarstore), a pair of sadly plain heels, and mod podge... so what did I do?

I made these babies...

At the time these were taken, they still needed some sealer on them (mod podge is sadly not waterproof... at least not the stuff I have)

Compared to my Batman themed shoes Here, the stickers made it much easier to work with then the paper. I placed the base/edge stickers on first then covered everything in a layer of Podge. Once that was dry I went on to use my favourite stickers to create the rest of the design. Once I was happy with that it got two coats of Podge and once that sets for 24 hours a sealer will be following ontop of it.

Happy Crafting <3
