Pepper-Encrusted Death Star Blue Cheese Ball

When we were working on putting together the Tosche-ese Station, I was trying to figure out which cheeses mold well, so I tried lots of different varieties. Some worked great, some were complete failures, and one ended up a happy, yummy accident.

Ahsoka Perler Bead Coaster

March 23, 2015November 1, 2015 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / 2 Comments

Ahsoka has been in the news a lot lately. Being the fan-mom of a fan-girl, I am just thrilled! There has also bee a bit of an uproar about the lack of female Rebels toys and the omission of Leia in the new Star Wars figure set. This not only sad for ALL the fans, but a incredibly puzzling marketing decision on the part of the toy manufacturers. It’s like they don’t want to make money!

My Mom Loves Me! (DIY Flags)

March 18, 2015January 4, 2017 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / 2 Comments

My mother says she hates Star Wars (or “Star Tracks” as she calls it). Hate is a strong word, but she just does not understand why anyone could possibly be interested in it. She does however love interior design and decorating, and she is amazingly good at it – in addition to being very creative. And being my mom, she wants to support all my endeavours! So she has been calling me with ideas of things to feature on the M4P blog. Thus we are going to start a new feature here at on our blog: M4P Mom. She already has a whole list of suggestions for cool Star Wars Day decor and party ideas. As we create them, I will take photos and write the how-tos here. THANKS mom for always being my biggest fan and champion.

Death Star Perler Bead Coaster

Obi-Wan: That’s no moon… It’s a space station!
Han: It’s too big to be a space station!

Star Wars was huge, it was revolutionary! It was a social event! These days we all get our news and entertainment fixes from such varied sources, that it is hard to imagine that we will ever have such a common entertainment experience again. That blue black/gold white dress had everyone talking… But it will be forgotten in a few weeks. The last season of Breaking Bad was big, but still nowhere near the “Who shot JR” experience. So the Death Star, was, huge! Not just in size on screen, but also in impact. There are other newer sci-fi movies that might rival Star Wars in quality, fun and even entertainment value. However the Star Wars trilogy, is common experience that will be remembered, long after those other sci-fi movies have been forgotten.

There are 4 things you have to have when throwing a Star Wars party: Grey spray paint, black sharpie, blue painter’s (or electrical) tape, and duct tape. Armed with those in your tool belt, you can improvise and take care of most Star Wars party related “emergencies”.
