I salute crafters who have the
vision and talent to create
unique items of whimsical delight!
Crocheted and knitted items
need not be boring!
How about a crocheted
Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?
Who wouldn't want this?
Embroidery need not be old-fashioned!
It can speak to our modern times too!
And never underestimate
the power of cardboard --
HRH wants me to make
an Iron Throne for her too!
She is threatening me
with dragons if I don't.
HELP!
Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteOMG I think the fact that I loved all this so hard says a LOT about me!
But I DO need the 'Bless this wretched hive of scum and villainy' masterpiece STAT. Please?
XOXO
The dog in sheep’s clothing is priceless!
ReplyDeleteStuff you probably can't get on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteAll that talent. Who has the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd our cats might kill us in our sleep if we tried dressing them up.
Though Tuxedo likes that throne!
Oh, goddess, these are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for those cold winter days
ReplyDeleteOMG....JUST NO!!!!! Im suprised there wasn't a crocheted TP lady holder?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteAnd are you nuts Debs? One look at the Games of Thrones, throne, and HRH is going to want, no, DEMAND that throne!!!!!!! I can hear it now, "There's your materials and tools commoner, get to work."
i liked the word crochet addiction as i witnessed it long ago when i was living in northern part of Pakistan .living in city makes one get away from all the beauty and depth of village life :(
ReplyDeleteliked and enjoyed all but the last one is so funny and most fav is Patience one yes i agree the patience is the thing for this addiction :)
i think i need one of those thrones.
ReplyDeleteCome on Debra get on that - HRH is waiting.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah these people need a life. Ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI hear that dragons can and will inflict quite a burn even when small. You better get busy with the throne project, like real soon. I stole the dog/Enterprise meme.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could crochet so that I could become addicted! Oh, the expressions on those poor animals' faces! HAH! The McDonalds Sphinx (I think) is priceless. Such long suffering.
ReplyDeleteI love the McD kitty hat ... Oh, the look alone is priceless! Love them all!

ReplyDeleteOMG where do you find these???Love the first cross stitch and HRH needs a pillow...pleeese
ReplyDeleteThese are all great but that last one is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to pay my kids not to buy me the Faberge egg for Christmas. These are fabuloso!! I want a throne like that for my cat, so I guess that means I have to get a cat.
ReplyDeleteLove all of these but the "Wretched hive of scum & villainy" took the cake ~ I have always love that bit!!
ReplyDeleteThat cat LOVES her iron throne! How utterly perfect for a feline.
ReplyDeleteThese were all hilarious and oh-so-true. There are now many makers of, ahem, contemporary theme cross-stitch or needlepoint patterns. Much swearing!
The only thing I manage is scarves, which I donate to various coat drives.
What does it say about me that I looked closely at the cardboard section to study the construction for possible use?
ReplyDeleteI like the Enterprise.
ReplyDelete@ Travel -- Thanks for the cute video link! That's Team Canada, you know.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great belly laughs with these today! But if you want a fighting chance against HRH and her flying monkeys, er dragons, you better get a hold of Captain America's shield NOW!
ReplyDeleteOh, the sheepdog! And most everything else. I knew I could count on you to make me smile.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought my cat seat in the window held aloft by massive suction cups was cool. :D
ReplyDeleteDebra, I thought this blog was a safe haven for animal lovers (unless we provoked HRH, in which case we had better watch out and even then we'll never see it coming). I'm reporting you to the SPCA for some of these.
ReplyDelete--Jim
Ha, ha, those poor animals! Brilliant ideas. That throne is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteGodzilla one is awesome
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, brilliant, brilliant! And that's just for the McKitty.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say about HRH's demands, except sorry and good luck with that.
oh don't you know Dexter would have loved that game of throne one...
ReplyDeleteThe throne certainly is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think I must learn to crochet. I want to make my dog a sheep too.
ReplyDeleteI love that cat throne, but I won't be making one. Lola would never sit in it. I also love the proof of being able to stab something 10,000 times.
ReplyDeletePeople who knit and crochet are so clever. My mum used to knit tiny octopuses in footy team colours.
Are you all ok over there?
ReplyDeleteI love these! There's an upside to this pandemic after all.
ReplyDeletedear me!
ReplyDeleteSome people indeed are clever - and have too much time on their hands.
I am going to learn how to knit this weekend. I'm not artistic, but I want to see how it goes. Will be making prayer shawls for people in church.
ReplyDeleteI don't know a stitch about creating knitted things. Now the cardboard ideas would be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteWolfie's grandma does crochet and his grand-maman does knitting.
ReplyDeleteThat throne is quite impressive, and it took me ages to realise that was dog not a sheep model.
ReplyDeleteDaughter-in-law is trying to persuade me to take a sewing course. If I could do cross stitch like that stabbing one I might be tempted!
These are amazing! I am always entertained by what crafty people create when thinking outside the box.
ReplyDeleteMy shoulder keeps me from cross-stitching and crochet, but I appreciate the artistry!
ReplyDeleteHaHaHa! I'll bet a lot of cats want the pandemic gone! Yes, you must make an Iron Throne for HRH! Just the laugh that I needed this evening!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! The first one especially got to me. I can imagine one of my cats wearing that.
ReplyDeleteI love the cat throne! I want it for my stuffed animals! LOL! Big Hugs!
