The saddest little bears in the world

























These dysphoric playthings are sure to inspire a few social workers of tomorrow.

The only thing missing is a crocheted pint of microbrew

Yes We Cat


The first black feline president looks a little sad in this portrait. I guess any cat wearing clothes is less than thrilled.

Driver's ed begins at home



It's never too early to start crocheting for your child's vehicular education.

Mexican bingo meets the land of the cozy


A confession: I kind of like these. For a more conversation-starting approach, consider convo'ing the seller to request some of the other loteria designs (The Drunk, The Apache, and Death come to mind). StumbleUpon

The cozy side of shacklewear



This piece of statement neck art, made with upcycled sweatshirt fleece, is so comfortable you'll almost forget you're wearing it. Fortunately, the looks you'll get from bemused passersby will remind you.

Not for everyone





Guinea pig rice pouch heating pad, anyone?

Citronella-scented, of course



I hope this bug-light soap is vegan.

Overcrafted kids, cont'd


The leg warmers are a festoon too far. Can you blame him for a little passive resistance? (Everyone knows horizontal stripes are unflattering.)
This reminds me. I haven't posted many sad models lately. I'll keep an eye out. They make me smile.

Calling all cougars


Now that's what I call spotting. These animal-print pantyliners will give you quite a scare when you stumble into the ladies' room after a couple of cocktails.

Old School



Does aluminum cause Alzheimer's? Maybe this is the test: Do you remember these?

I know the feeling



I've never been wetfelted, but somehow I know how this "big guardian angel" feels. We all have those days.

Wait, it's a guy? And it's 11 inches tall? Maybe I can't relate after all.

Soap or Not Soap?


Soap.

Meme-ories











You've got to give this crafter credit. Why? Because these pics are selling. At $15 to $20 a pop. Wish I'd thought of this one myself.

This makes me happy. Flight of the Conchords!

meta-crafting








This seems like a labor-intensive way to thwart your artistic child. Or maybe it's a Statement? Well, the wooden model seems to be getting a kick out of the whole thing.

Humans 1, Sparrow 0



This is a trend I'll never understand. Apparently, this piece was created by casting a real sparrow foot into sterling silver.

Interested? http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25521569

Unflattering collectibles





The down side of fame...Jackie O never looked so unfortunate, and Dolly Parton never looked so unendowed. And Paul Potts (of Britain's Got Talent fame) never had a doll made in his likeness, I'm guessing.

Cozy knows no season




If you've already finished your reindeer sweaters, these seem like a labor-intensive way to pass the time until Santa comes around again.

Confusing dolls and the people who make clothes for them




These strange creatures are going to be in my nightmares. How tall are they? The sweater dress is kind of cute, though. (Kidding.)
(Obviously only the clothes are for sale. You already have the dolls.)

Rare stakes





I'm not an expert on lawn ornaments, but these strike me as odd. The freakishly large hypodermic needle scares me, and the karaoke theme doesn't seem very flowery. Thoughts?
