It's Questionable At Best

I didn't... I didn't know cockatoos were into that kind of thing.

You Don't Say...

I think we can safely file this under the "I Can't Believe This Shit Is For Sale" category, because frankly, I can't believe this shit is for sale. Even better, it is for sale here at the awkward, awkward price of $14.98. Not $14.95, not $15. No, it costs exactly $14.98. Because, you know, if it had been $15 I wouldn't have bought it, but $14.98 sounds like a perfectly reasonable price.

Let's see what the artist has to say about their creation, shall we?

"Sophia is the cutest little gal you will ever meet. She is soft and cream colored with bright yellow features. She will bring lots of hours of play fun and sweet dreams for your little girl or boy.

I DO NOT use any patterns. These little guys are my creations of the moment so each is unique."

I loooooove love love love how the artist feels the need to point out, highlight, and specify the fact that they do not use any patterns, as if the viewer is seriously looking at it and thinking to themselves "Wow. You know, this is just far too good, really. I just can not believe it was handmade. It just looks so, so professional, and like it was made using a pattern. And it only costs somewhere between $14.95 and $15? Will the wonders never cease."

How To Look Unbelieveably Awesome In One Easy Step (part deux)

If this isn't the awesomest book about knitted and crocheted slippers ever written, I seriously need to reassess my official position on books written about knitted and crocheted slippers. I mean, just look at it - we appear to have the Jolly Green Giant's leisure footwear at the top, followed by what can only be described as the lovechild between a 1950's style mop-head and an albino Muppet softly sucking on a lady's feet. Those two styles, though, they obviously pale in comparison to the simply magnificent Himalayan Smurf crocheted shinguards/yodeling sock combo. Lordy, those are amazing. I think I need a pair of them immediately, for all of my various knitted shin guard/yodeling sock needs.

Gaah!

Sorry about the impromptu sabbatical there, everyone. As it turns out, my computer died peacefully in its sleep on Thursday night, and so for the time being I might have to use the library or some such unheard-of nonsense in order to continue making crafters feel ashamed of themselves. A pity, I know. I'm especially sad as I had all sorts of really good pictures of crapfts that I had lined up to post, but that's the way life goes sometimes. I guess Sharon Stone might call it karma.

So please, bear with me the next week or two until I get this situation all figured out, and then we'll be in the clear.
