Update: It's apparently fixed now. There's another site that makes fun of crafts. You may have heard of it - it is called Regretsy. Yes, I know it is a lot more famous than Craftastrophe (but we were here first, so neener neener). Yes, I know they have a book. Yes, I know they donate all their proceeds to charity. WAIT. They may TRY to donate all of their profits to charity, such as buying presents for children at Christmas, but THANK GOODNESS we have PayPal to stop them! Go read this post. It is enough to make you want to knit something from cat hair, or to make earrings out of squirrel feet. Or something. If you want to help them out by sending a few emails to PayPal on their behalf - and on behalf of children who will be without toys at Christmas - it's no skin off my crafts-making-fun-of-nose. Even if they are more popular.

I am thankful for each and every reader who stops by Craftastrophe. Which is why I bring you presents, like this: You're welcome. Hope your holiday is happy and healthy. {Source}

Ok, I'm not a mom, so someone I going to have to 'splain this one to me. I can see that you love pretty much everything your little darlings do. After all, they're YOUR kids. I feel the same way about my dog - "Oh, look, she's SLEEPING! So adorable!" "Look - she has FUR!" (Ok, I'll shut up now. Quit gagging.) So I understand that baby body fluids aren't as gross as they might be if, say, the adult next to you on the bus wet their pants. But this. You buy a doll, an expensive, very realistic baby doll. Is it really necessary that it comes complete with glistening snot? Really? Can anyone help me out here? Yours for only $550.00 - it's on sale. {Source}

Who doesn't love a teddy bear? A soft, lovey friend to keep you company in the dark, lonely nights. Oh hell. Now why did you have to go and do that? I'll never sleep again. {Source}

Halloween week continues with this lovely entry. Kinda creepy, right? A little? It becomes a whole lot eerier when you read this:

16x20" maple wood mount; articulated real human arm and hand bones, dried roses, stingray stingers, birch twigs with fairy's-cup fungus, tattered black silk, crepe, and gauze.

Real human arm and hand bones, people. Don't tell me you wouldn't start listening for strange noises down the hall if you hung this in your home. thump   thump   thump. It's getting closer. Scratch    scratch    scratch RUN!!!!!!! Yours for only $1700. Good for scaring small children and superstitious relatives. {Source}
