Faux bear skin rug

I have decided that what I truly need from life is a faux bearskin rug... preferably made to look like a teddy bear skin ^_^ I have a great love for anything fluffy, and the thought of having something big and fuzzy to bury my face in makes me way too happy. However, animal fur (particularly taxidermy *shudder*) freaks me right out, so this is an adorable, cruelty-free fuzzy alternative!

A quick Google search yielded some awesome pics from really creative people, and I'm so amped to take a stab at making my own :)

Then there are also more unusual, and nonetheless very awesome designs, like this Wampa rug:

(From Think Geek. I suspect that the Princess Leia cosplayer is optional...)

But I must admit that my favourite so far, hands down, is this monster rug I found on Deviant Art

Definitely a monster-hunting trophy worthy of note!

A Very Cthulhu Christmas

I made this tiny Cthulhu for my dad for Christmas, based on the pattern in Creepy Cute Crochet :) As you can see, it turned out perfectly fine, and I make all apologies for every negative thought I have ever had about the patterns. As I said (at length) in a previous post, reading instructions on whether to crochet in both loops rather than in the back loop only is rather important -_- I will at some point post a picture of an earlier attempt at a Cthulhu from the same pattern. I also made another tiny Cthulhu, with slightly different eyes, for a friend for her birthday.

Anyway, just so that you can see that I do actually ~make stuff.

Tattered Rags Creepy Ragdolls

Posting about creepy ragdolls put me in mind of a pic I'd once found whilst browsing for inspiration. My amazing internet-sleuthing skillz (read: Google-searched "creepy rag doll") led me to this blog. Jodi Cain is awesomely talented and makes epic rag dolls of win. As a fan of things creepy, gothy or macabre (and possibly cute), her dolls make me too happy for words. You should check it out.

Additionally, I would like to mention that browsing pics of creepy rag dolls earns you some pretty strange looks in a varsity computer lab. Though the looks aren't quite as strange as the once I get for gurgling like a retarded seal when Google image-searching amigurumi... I don't do that any more (Google amigurumi from campus, not gurgle like an idiot). But, I mean, LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS *dies*
