Timey-Wimey Doctor Who Quiet Book

BB was inspired by that adorable Star Trek Quiet Book that went viral some months back to make a Doctor Who version for her two-year-old son. A few months and a lot of stitching later, BB's got one heckuva fabulous, timey-wimey book!



The yarn tentacles are genius.


Yeah, what IS hiding in K-9, BB? Your blog doesn't say!

Pose? I'd be making him dance!


And finally, this page wins both "Most Terrifying" and "Most Hilarious":

AAAUGH!!

We can only hope BB's son isn't too traumatized. Ha!

Head over to BB's Tumblr to see the rest of the pages - there's a Dalek "Accessorize" page, mkay? You want to see this. And a huge thank you to BB for sharing the fun!

(Oh, and BB? Please, get some watermarks on these images, STAT. I predict it's going to be everywhere online soon, and I'd hate to see you not get full credit!)

  2. This is great! I showed it to my husband, saying, "Look! It's a quiet book!" He said, "Oh, you mean The Silence?"

  3. I'd be amused if he grew up brushing the angel's teeth, and then was not freaked out by angels by the time he got old enough to watch episodes like "Blink."

  4. I'm scared to brush the angels teeth... :) probably because "Blink" was my Introductory episode to Doctor Who :D

  5. OMG. OMG. OMG.--I may be late on the this, but have you seen this Weeping Angel costume (including a truncated "How-it-was-done" that'll blow your mind? This was worn at DragonCon and Jen, you must share this if you have not already. Holy crap. The attention to detail is absolutely mind blowing. It is amazing. Literally the best costume I have ever seen in my life(although I am waiting with baited breath for Lady Vadore). I think I may die of envy.:

  6. That's amazing! I can't even imaging cutting and stitching all those pieces.
    And yes, the Angel is terrifying - I don't think I could take the brush out of it's cold cruel grip ;)
    You are going to inspire a whole new generation of Whovians.

  9. This Quiet Book is amazing! I want one now and my kids are well past the quiet book stage!

    I am making a Doctor Who baby blanket for a friend, inspired by the classic Tom Baker scarf it will be in many different colors and much, much longer than the average baby blanket. As a bonus I am having mutual friends of the Mom and mine donate different yarns for the blanket, and the card will have every name and the color of yarn they sent in for it.

  10. That is so ridiculously cute! Well, except for the angel of course O.O I didn't sleep for a week after Blink and my son, who wasn't scared at all, thought it was hilarious :P

  11. Seriously wonderful. Too scary for me, I watched all the original Dr Who from behind the sofa(and I'm still terrified of Daleks)

  13. Forget the two year old, I want one!! That would go down a storm in our house...

  14. Am I the only one who thinks this is absolutely and totally inappropriate for a child?! Tentacles and "angels" with fangs? What's next - the Chucky quiet book? I'm all for quirky and fun, but that book would give me nightmares.

  15. Oh, yes, BB, please, PLEASE patterns!! This is too fantastically awesome!! WANTS!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. This. Is. Awesome. I have got to get started on my own for my little one! Thanks for sharing!

  17. My wife and I have added this to our Things We Need for When We Have a Baby list. BB, this was amazing! Jen, please do a follow-up post to let us know when she has patterns available!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I may change my mind about having kids for this. PATTERNS PLEASE!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. To all those people that asked about book/pattern availability, I now have patterns available now in my ETSY shop!! http://www.etsy.com/shop/BantamBB
    Also currently working on some more wonderfully nerdy crafts for kids as well!
