Origami

I have been doing a lot of Origami lately, the art of folding paper. My favorite creation is my dragon. It reminds me of a dragon from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Merlin, Eragon, or Game of Thrones. Since the directions were very vague, and confusing, I had to come up with a way to make the wings, head, neck, and tail. My niece has also been making Origami bow ties, because

Minecraft treats

My niece and nephew have just arrived, and we quickly got to work making these cute creeper rice krispie treats for my sister's birthday. I originally found the idea for these from Rosanna Pansino on "Nerdy Nummies"
If you want to see the original video, you can watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbztpv-yNOM
I also have the link to her complete channel on the right side of my home page.
P.S. The creeper face looks a bit smushed since it was in put in a tupperware.

Crafts

Hello everyone! Lately I have been making cute little nerdy toys for my niece and nephew, who are going to be visiting soon. I made a Minecraft torch and grass block for my 5 year-old nephew, who loves Minecraft. I also made a mini TARDIS for my 14 year-old niece, who like me, loves Doctor Who! I found these paper cut-outs on Google images, printed them out, cut them out, folded on the lines,  followed directions, and reinforced them with cardboard.  If you want to see the cutouts, just click on the links below:
