This is the greatest cake ever. I have yet to see it in person but I will in a couple of hours - my fiance sent a picture of it to me, as to what to expect once I get home (I'm at work right now).
This is actually a cake made to look like an original NES controller! It was baked for my fiance, Paul, by one of his (now former) co-workers as a going away present - it was his last day at work today. What a nice surprise...and the cake is chocolate, my fave!
I know that we are going to have to eventually eat the cake...although it is way too fun to eat! A very thoughtful gift considering the fact that Paul and I are such geeky gamers :)
My newest craft! This one has been an ongoing project that took about 30 hours to complete. It is a complete Mario scene from the Super Mario Bros. 1 game for the Nintendo Entertainment System! It is a full scene from World 2-1 where you can make Mario climb up a vine into the clouds to collect coins.
The project measures 9" by 11" approximately, so I plan on finding a nice frame to put it in to hang up on the wall. This is the first of a whole bunch that I plan on making - scenes from my favourite video games.
I decided to create a Mario 1 needlepoint first since this game holds a special place in my heart. We first bought our NES when I was six or seven years old on a family vacation down to Florida. It was the first big vacation that my family went on and getting the Nintendo was awesome. I used to play the game with my sister and my dad, and we eventually beat the game together. Such fond memories!!!
Back to the craft - I handstitched the entire piece, so every bit of colour is a stitch - including the entire blue background! That definitely was the most time-consuming part.
For now, in my Etsy shop, I make much smaller versions of this craft - needlepoint patches and fridge magnets of video game characters. I plan on adding more of these to my shop soon, so stay tuned! :)

Just posting some more of my newest creations! Still exploring the realm of 3D Perler Bead madness, I started to make these card holders. Great to hold your business cards on your desk, and shows off your geeky pride to your co-workers!
The first one that I made (to the left) is a card holder that looks like a Nintendo controller (for the Nintendo Entertainment System). I have great nostalgia for my original Nintendo and still play it on a regular basis.
The other cardholders that I've made so far are these ones that look like cassette tapes. They have glow in the dark beads in the middle so you'll be able to see them at night :)
All are up for sale in my Etsy Shop.
