Wookiee Cookies

April 27, 2015November 1, 2015 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / 2 Comments

In honor of M4P friend Gene Ha’s new Mae Graphic Novel Kickstarter campaign, we are going to feature Gene’s ideas for the next 4 weeks. First up, the M4P exclusive Wookiee Cookies.

Chewie-Chewy… Chewbacca… There is a pun in there some where. Let’s see. “Kids, this is the last time I tell you, finish to Chew back at the table!!”! Hm. That didn’t work quite as well as I had hoped…

Do you what works beautifully though? This recipe. Coconutty, chocolatey goodness all in the shape of a friendly Wookiee. Most definitely one of the yummiest things we have ever featured.

The Mae Graphic Novel by Gene Ha! Kickstarter Campaign

April 24, 2015November 1, 2015 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / Leave a comment

Sometimes, there is something that needs to be discussed outside of the Star Wars universe. M4P’s good friend Gene Ha, the Eisner award-winning comic book artist, has created a new Graphic Novel called Mae. And a Kickstarter campaign started today, so you can all get in the action. I have been fortunate to be working with Gene for the past few months getting the graphic designs ready for the books and the Kickstarter Premiums, and it has been such a pleasure working with his incredible art!

Wedge Antilles Perler Bead Coaster

April 20, 2015October 30, 2016 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / Leave a comment

I had big plans. We were going to be X-Wing pilots for this year’s May the Fourth Party. But plans change. And this time for the better! Instead of making costumes, I have had the pleasure of being part of a big, exciting, creative project of a different sort. It is super secret as of right now, but I will talk about it on my post this Friday!! (Be sure to tune in!)

So, in lieu of our own gear, I am featuring Wedge for our weekly Perler/cross-stitch/Lego/pixel/mosaic pattern.

Mos Eisleys Cantina (DIY Beverage station)

April 17, 2015April 27, 2016 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / 2 Comments

No proper Star Wars party should be without a Star Wars Cantina or Chalmun’s Cantina, as it is actually called. Cos-play can be serious work, and lots of costumes are really warm (just ask my daughter after wearing her Chewie costume for 4 hours). So you need to make sure your guests are well hydrated. Just promise that all lightsabers are checked at the entrance – we suspect all your guests will want to leave with all their limbs intact.

A Spoonful of Star Wars! (DIY Bith Band Centerpiece)

April 15, 2015November 1, 2015 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / 1 Comment

Lots of people like Sci-Fi in small doses. Not us! Star Wars in big, giant wood-ladle-sized servings for us, please.

Jedi Master Heidi’s case in point: She put her mad craft skills to use and made this too-funny centerpiece for our Mos Eisley’s Cantina (post to come this Friday). She used the wood spoon Bith (from the awesome book: The Star Wars Craft Book by Bonnie Burton), and designed a centerpiece that is (Star Wars) music to our ears.
