I've been avoiding the Super Bowl this evening and instead wrapping up my CHA Winter 2014 coverage- 35 booth posts and more than 2,000 photos worth of it! If you missed any of the posts, they're all filed under the CHA Winter 2014 tag, and you can also see all 35 related Flickr sets in this collection.

Before I retire from the computer for the evening and settle in to watch the last episode of this series of Sherlock (a much more anticipated event in this household than almost any sporting event), though, I wanted to get in a good round of Geek Girl! And next week? I'll be blogging from my semi-permanent seat on the sofa for 2+ weeks- the Olympics are the only sporting event sure to invoke my couch potato mode!

From the top left:

• You know it had to happen eventually- Downton Abbey has now been immortalized in Lego, complete with customized minifigures.
• File this under "Most Likely Just a Wild Rumor," but word going around is that Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Captain America...and about a zillion other movies) is "attached" to the upcoming new Star Wars movie as an Imperial commander. If they do not also have a "Lieutenant Anderson," it will be a crime against all that is good and geeky.
• There's a Kickstarter project up at the moment to make geeky sprinkles. TARDIS, steampunk, and Harry Potter sprinkles, to be exact!
• The BBC recently released the first photos of Peter Capaldi on the Doctor Who set (thanks for sending that link along, Fiona!), along with a reveal of the 12th Doctor's outfit. 
• This set of My Little Pony themed wedding bands was featured on Fashionably Geek.
• As the owner and operator of a small laser cutter, I totally sympathize with the amount of work and planning that went into these amazingly geeky laser-etched wood blocks.
• Danielle Thompson made the incredible kawaii solar system bracelet out of Sculpey clay. I have got to learn how to do this!
• One of my favorite geeky artists, Katie Cook, recently posted several Star Wars/My Little Pony mashup drawings on Twitter, including this one of Pinkie Pie as a Jedi
• This exploding TARDIS was created by Adventures in Acetone (what an awesome name for a blog!) in celebration of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special.

And one last thing before I go- the trailer for the new Muppet movie, due out this coming March!


MTFBWY!

Cosmo Cricket - CHA Winter 2014

New Releases: Simple Surfaces specialty paper pads, Showtoppers line additions, stamps, wood embellishments.

Estimated Shipping Dates: New items are already in stock at Scrapbook.com, Simon Says Stamp, and Blue Moon Scrapbooking and should be available at local scrapbook store shortly (if not already).

Noteworthy: Cosmo Cricket was part of a small but apparently growing trend at this show of companies that didn't create entire new paper and embellishment collections. Instead, they focused on embellishments and specialty papers that both stand well on their own and also work well with other manufacturers' products.

A few photos from the Cosmo Cricket booth are included below, and you'll find lots more in my Cosmo Cricket set on Flickr.

For additional photos, check out my Flickr set from the Cosmo Cricket booth at CHA Winter 2014.

You can shop for Cosmo Cricket products at Scrapbook.com, Blue Moon Scrapbooking, and Simon Says Stamp.

Tim Holtz - CHA Winter 2014

New Releases: Stampers Anonymous, Sizzix, Idea-ology, and Ranger product releases

Noteworthy: Tim Holtz's products appeared in several booths on the CHA show floor, but I've pulled them all together into a single post and set so you can see everything at once. There are more than 140 photos in the Flickr set!

A few photos from the Tim Holtz sections of various manufacturer booths are included below, and you'll find lots more in my Tim Holtz set on Flickr.
