She Geek Critique – The New Who

With only three episodes to go for the current 11th season of Doctor Who (plus the New Year’s Day special), I thought it was about time to let everyone know what I think of 13.

And all of these projects are usually better suited for expert crafters and bakers.  Continue reading Best Geeky Finds – Curiouser and Curiouser About Christine →
