Thoughtful Frog in Gel

Karen Sugarpants — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:00:55 +0000

Thoughtful Frog is not thoughtful, he drowned.

What’s red and green and goes 100 miles an hour in one spot?

A frog in a blender.

Sorry about that, Thoughtful Frog. I shouldn’t make (crappy) jokes while you lay there, all drowned, waiting for someone to light your fire.

Countdown to Thanksgiving: Stuff Me Onesie

Karen Sugarpants — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:00:49 +0000

Maybe it’s because I’ve been in a lot of airports this year, but this is just wrong. Because all I can think of is cocaine. So, so wrong.

Thanks Suebob!

Ever have those annoying seat partners that never shut up? Like, NEVER?!

I’d use it to keep my head propped upright; or stick it on the talker next to me and blow it up to the point where they could no longer breathe talk.

Either way: $170.00 Blow up neck warmer / brace FTW!

Thanks Cari for showing us this store!

Blog-o-versary: A look back, Craftastrophe style

sam {temptingmama} — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:00:37 +0000

Can you believe it’s been a year since we started sharing the wealth of awesomeness that is bad crafts?

An entire year!

Who knew that when we began this site on that early November morning with a vagina wallet we’d be sharing the best of the worst.

But seriously?! They’re not always the worst. In fact, I’ve developed a penchant for a wide variety of Teh Kitsch, some of which we’ve featured here and over the past year I have had to fight the urge to buy these items quite a few times. Not because I don’t need them or want them but because I fear that the shop owner may actually send me a pile of poop instead.

This site has brought us m any opportunities to share with you some of the freakiest stuff you’ve sent us, it’s also brought us one freakishly amazing toddlerpede created by Jon Beinart which now adorns our header.

So thank you!

Thank you for a fabulous first year and many of these great finds!

Each gallery image is linked to their respective post where you will find their credits. Thanks again readers! We’re indebted to you! Keep sending then crafts and we’ll keep providing the snark! Craftastrophic kisses to you!

Countdown to Thanksgiving: Turkey Earrings

Gives new meaning to gobbling on your girlfriend’s earlobes. Pleh.

Still, nothing says I love you like dead tree rat. Nothing.

Thanks Suebob!

Look What You Can Do With Your Recycle Bin!

Karen Sugarpants — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:09:11 +0000

Are you f*cking kidding me? What is this crap? I’m all for recycling, but once it’s in the bin, that sh*it is for the mice to chew on.

Besides, don’t notebooks already come with cardboard covers?

From the listing:

Perfect for recording life’s events and/or as a sketch book.

Life’s events? If my life included making notebooks from Eggo boxes (not that I eat Eggo’s, that kife will kill you), I would not spend the time writing it down!

Wait. You drink Coors Light?

That’s explains eeeeverything.

Because you must be drunk on douchebeer to think you can charge $68 bucks for a necklace made from PAINT CHIPS.

Or $58 bucks for this:

I AM SHOCKED AT YOUR BEHAVIOUR, CRAFTER. SHOCKED.

Mattel is going to wish they thought of this

sam {temptingmama} — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:00:26 +0000

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you – Modified Barbie™.

Modified Barbie™ has had her lower extremities replaced with vertebrae giving her the appearance of a half eaten mermaid majestic, and awe inspiring creation.

Modified Barbie™ comes with a string around her neck to hang her with…

This is a modified barbie doll sculpture. her waist and legs have been replaced with vertebrae and is somewhat mutant fish-esque. the bones are of baked and painted scupty held together with waxed thick thread. oh, there’s a piece of brass in the links. her claws are made of sculpty and plumber’s putty. nipples also glazed sculpty. the torso, head, face, and light blonde hair are as found. she’s 15″long and hangs from a string around her neck. adorable barbiecritter. not really to be played with as perhaps somewhat fragile but definite display item. took many days to build. it’s the first of a series in progress. i’ll sign a confimation card to go with it. oh, the price? uh, $40.00. oh, don’t eat this or swing it around either. shipping is $6.00 in the u.s.

Ah, damn. I was TOTALLY sold on Modified Barbie™ until they said I couldn’t eat it…

Thanks @whymomdrinksrum
