i was away for the weekend... (yes, again; it never rains, but it pours travel-wise in these parts!) ...and thus have no cards or other papercrafty goodness to show you, but i did get to do a bit of crocheting on the road, so of course i made something terribly practical:
the death of yarn* asks, "EXCUSE ME...WHICH WAY TO THE PURLY GATES?"
yes, that IS a very small and utterly adorable amigurumi grim reaper!** or rather, in this case, due to his oversized eyes and slightly wonkily tilted head, he's more of a wistful reaper, really.
i have to admit, i didn't think i could top the CROBOT for weirdness in yarncraft, but my darling stef gave me the utterly awesome book Creepy Cute Crochet for xmas, and i absolutely LOVE it, so you will definitely be seeing more sweet and funny crocheted monstas in future! ♥♥♥

*to those who don't read terry pratchett, this joke will not make sense. in fact, in all probability, this joke will only amuse missus trash and myself, and i am fine with that! :)

ReplyDeleteOkay I'm putting in an order. I want one for Christmas, birthday, Flag day, whatever.. please send me one when your hands are idle and bored and need to make something not of paper.

This is THE cutest EVER!!! I love sort of grim/macabre stuff these days (whassup w/that?) when it has a fun element, too. This DEFINITELY qualifies! That Steph - she finds the coolest stuff! She's how I found your blog about a year ago, btw - been subscribed ever since...
