If you geek me, I'll geek you back

When I say that I've been working on something Top Secret, it sounds so serious. But usually, it's not very serious at all. Remember how Apryl sent me an awesome hand-crafted Eric Northman doll? Well, I thought I'd make her something in return. Something ridiculous.


I did a bit of detective work to figure out all the celebrities that get Apryl into a fangirl flap and made their images into a collage with handy annotations. It was a little bit embarrassing explaining to Steven what I was making. And what UNF means. Mom and Dad, do not even google that. It means cute.


I printed it into a fabric-fusible paper, ironed it onto some polkadot fabric and made a notebook cover for artist's sketchpad.


And because Apryl is going on a trip back to our homeland soon, I also made a smaller travel notebook.


Probably the saddest dorkiest most awesome thing I've ever done. But I got to laugh at myself for two whole days.

    I'm sure they will tickle her too, after she's finished hugging them...and as a more mature (who am I kidding) follower, I haven't googled that either...but I can guess what it means!!

    I love them they made me laugh my socks off .. and after some really terrible weeks and being quite sad and a bit depressed lately it totally made my day... I did not explain UNF to M who thinks I'm insane anyway.

    I googled and can't believe all those guys graduated from the Univ. of North Florida - it seems like such a small school!

    I heartily agree with your assessments. Esp re Matt Smith & that fella who is not Eric.

    OK - you are my official new girl crush. Still laughing about this - particularly the notebook. Now that I know you are 'ornery & sarcastic' in Melbourne, I will have to stalk you (in a non creepy way?) until I can buy you a coffee or a G&T - hopefully it will be the latter and then we can be ornery and sarcastic together with alcohol...

    Oops. Just realised you are in Edinburgh. Have to be content with stalking you, semi-sneakily, via the interwebs. Tsk Tsk.

    Oh and where is the Alcide love? He may be a mere Were as opposed to an eternal fanger but he's eye candy and definitely worth a number of UNF's in MHO. UNFFFFFFF!
