Decapitated Dollies - Mike - Crocheted Plush Head

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:28:32 -0500

$20.00
Mike thought it was about time to get his mohawk trimmed. He went to a new barber in town, whose logo appealed to Mike's punk rock sensibilities. But this barber turned out to be a little bit of a whacko. When Mike said "a little off the top," the barber obliged, and took off Mike's head with a pair of hedge trimmers. Gotta watch out for those whacko barbers.

Mike has bright red hair, including a tall red mohawk (made from 100% wool yarn). He has green eyes. He has an eyebrow ring over his right eye, and a labret piercing below his mouth.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with his or her very own "death certificate," which lists his or her name, date of death, and cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is black with silver skulls and bones, arranged in hexagons. The back of the "death certificate" will vary slightly from the one shown here.

If you have a name or a cause of decapitation that you'd like to see immortalized in a Decapitated Dollie, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

Crocheted Green Cthulhu Bun Covers (1 pair)

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:14:14 -0500

$13.00
Everyone needs their own adorable Elder God bun covers, right?

If you're just looking for a way to keep stray hairs from escaping your buns, this is the perfect item for you! After all, what Elder God would allow unruly hair to escape?

These bun covers were crocheted from a green yarn, along with white yarn and black yarn for the eyes. The tentacles and eyes are crocheted separately from the main bun cover, but are securely attached. The braided ties allow you to tie the bun covers on, and the ends of the ties provide additional tentacle-y goodness.

These bun covers measure approximately 2 1/2 inches in diameter across the surface, and 1 3/4 inches high. Each tentacle is 2-3 inches long when stretched out straight, but curled up, they are closer to 1 1/2-2 inches. The bun covers will stretch slightly to accommodate slightly larger buns. They were designed to fit my thick, shoulder length hair when pulled into two buns--if you have longer hair, they may be a bit small. The braided ties measure at least 8 inches long.

The bun covers are made from 100% acrylic yarn. They are safe to machine wash and dry, but I would recommend hand washing and air drying, due to the small size.

Set of 3 Dusky Pink Crocheted Roses

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:06:52 -0500

$10.00
Real flowers wither and die, but crocheted flowers maintain their beauty forever.* No matter what the occasion, roses are a wonderful gift, or you can keep them for yourself to make your home beautiful!

This listing is for a set of three (3) crocheted roses in a dusky pink color. These roses and their leaves are crocheted from 100% acrylic yarn. They are then attached to floral wire for a stem, and each stem is wrapped with floral tape. The stems are somewhat bendable, but also strong enough to support the weight of the flower and leaf.

Each stem measures approximately 8 inches long, and each blossom has a diameter of between 2 and 3 inches.

If you would like more than three roses, please contact me for availability and pricing. I do offer discounts for larger orders. I can make roses in any color or colors you want. If you're looking for something special, just send me a message!

Shipping: The shipping on this item seems high for the weight, but the roses must be packaged in a sturdy box so they are not crushed in transit. This makes the package heavier than it would be for normal crocheted goods.

(* As an added bonus, crocheted roses don't need water, and they don't have thorns!)

Decapitated Dollies - Lisa - Crocheted Plush Head

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 10:18:17 -0500

$20.00
Lisa was a star of her school's track team. Just before she ran the 100 meter, a stray javelin took her head off. This will teach them to separate the track and field events just a little bit better!

Lisa has curly dark brown hair, tied into short pigtails with two pieces of lavender ribbon. She has dark brown eyes and medium brown skin.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for small children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with her very own "death certificate," which lists her name, her date of death, and her cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is black with silver skulls and bones. The back of the "death certificate" will vary slightly from the one shown here.

I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

Mottled Pinks and Purples with Solid Pink Crocheted Striped Arm Warmers (size M-L)

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 10:36:10 -0500

$20.00
Arm warmers great for the days at the change of seasons--when it's warm enough to wear a T-shirt, but you still want something to cover your arms in the shade.

The arm warmers are crocheted from 98% acrylic, 2% polyester yarn in stripes of pink and a somewhat variegated pink and purple colored yarn. The pink and purple yarn varies considerably through the pair of arm warmers. Though the colorway of the yarn means that these two arm warmers do not match perfectly, they definitely coordinate well.

The arm warmers measure 9 1/2 inches long (24 cm), and are about 8 1/2 inches (22 cm) in circumference. The thumb hole sits about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) from the edge of the arm warmer. I'm about 5'2", and these arm warmers extend to the point where my hand joins my fingers, and about 2/3 of the way up my forearm. I would call this size a medium or large--they are very loose on my skinny little wrists.

These arm warmers can be machine washed and dried. The yarn used is already super soft, and washing it only makes it softer.

Crocheted Chocolate Cupcake with Lavender Icing and a Cherry on Top

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 10:36:10 -0500

$7.00
These crocheted cupcakes could make a lovely addition to a child's tea party, or they could be used by adults as a pincushion. Either way, they're adorably cute and sure to be loved by their recipients.

This cupcake is crocheted from lavender yarn (acrylic with a bit of polyester) and dark brown yarn (100% acrylic). The package for the "cherries" (red pom-poms) does not give fiber content, but I suspect that it is also synthetic fibers. The cupcake is stuffed with fiberfill, and can stand on it's own (though it is a touch wobbly).

The cupcake measures about 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) tall, and 2 inches (5 cm) across the base. This makes it just a bit smaller than a normal cupcake, as it sits loosely in my cupcake pan.

The second photo shows a collection of these cupcakes; this listing is only for the lavender colored cupcake with the darker colored base. If you're interested in more cupcakes, check out the other listings in my shop, or convo me if you're looking for a specific color that I don't have listed.

These cupcakes are safe for children to play with, though small children should be watched closely. The "cherry" is sewn to a button on the inside, and should stay securely attached, but please keep a close eye on any children prone to putting their toys in their mouths.

(Although these cupcakes are very lightweight, I ship them in sturdy boxes to prevent them from being smushed into strange shapes. This makes the shipping a bit higher than another object of this weight would be.)

Black and Blues Crocheted Striped Arm Warmers (size M-L)

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:49:16 -0500

$20.00
Arm warmers great for the days at the change of seasons--when it's warm enough to wear a T-shirt, but you still want something to cover your arms in the shade.

The arm warmers are crocheted from 100% acrylic mohair-feel yarn in wide stripes of black and light blue, with narrow stripes of bright blue.

The arm warmers measure 9 1/2 inches long (24 cm), and are about 8 1/2 inches (22 cm) in circumference. The thumb hole sits about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) from the edge of the arm warmer. I'm about 5'2", and these arm warmers extend to the point where my hand joins my fingers, and about 2/3 of the way up my forearm. I would call this size a medium or large--they are very loose on my skinny little wrists.

These arm warmers can be machine washed and dried. The yarn used is already super soft, and washing it only makes it softer.

Decapitated Dollies - Zombie Abraham Lincoln - Crocheted Plush Head

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 01:12:24 -0500

$20.00
John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, though Lincoln did not die until the following day. But what if Lincoln rose from the grave as one of the undead? Well, then someone would have to put him down again, regardless of his role as one of the greatest American Presidents of all time. Zombie Lincoln probably wasn't afraid of a hatched-wielding assailant after having been shot in the back of his head in life, but the hatchet took his head right off.

(I don't remember how or why this came up in conversation, but one of my friends suggested making a decapitated zombie Abraham Lincoln. Obviously, my friends know me. Decapitation + zombies + Abraham Lincoln = LOVE! Don't be surprised if there are more decapitated zombified historical figures to come.)

Zombie Abraham Lincoln has putrescent green flesh, dull gray eyes, and a blood red mouth. His hair is dark brown, and he has a sizable bullet wound on the back of his head. Even in zombie-ness, he wears a black top hat. (His hat is not stuffed, and has a tendency to get a bit misshapen. Do him a favor and straighten his hat for him--he doesn't have hands any more.)

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for small children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with her very own "death certificate," which lists her name, her date of death, and her cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is black with silver skulls and bones. The back of the "death certificate" will vary slightly from the one shown here.

If you have a name or a cause of decapitation that you'd like to see immortalized in a Decapitated Dollie, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

Set of 3 Orange Crocheted Roses

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 12:10:57 -0500

$10.00
Real flowers wither and die, but crocheted flowers maintain their beauty forever.* No matter what the occasion, roses are a wonderful gift, or you can keep them for yourself to make your home beautiful!

This listing is for a set of three (3) crocheted roses in bright orange. I'm not sure why, but this was a VERY popular color for these roses the last time I sold them! These roses and their leaves are crocheted from 100% acrylic yarn. They are then attached to floral wire for a stem, and each stem is wrapped with floral tape. The stems are somewhat bendable, but also strong enough to support the weight of the flower and leaf.

Each stem measures approximately 8 inches long, and each blossom has a diameter of between 2 and 3 inches.

If you would like more than three roses, please contact me for availability and pricing. I do offer discounts for larger orders. I can make roses in any color or colors you want. If you're looking for something special, just send me a message!

Shipping: The shipping on this item seems high for the weight, but the roses must be packaged in a sturdy box so they are not crushed in transit. This makes the package heavier than it would be for normal crocheted goods.

(* As an added bonus, crocheted roses don't need water, and they don't have thorns!)

Crocheted Dark Brown Eyeball Cat Toy (with catnip)

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 09:09:30 -0500

$5.00
Morbid, yes. People who know me well know how squicked out I am by eyeballs, but it's so much fun to watch my cats roll around on the floor playing with their eyeball cat toy. If you've got a cat that likes catnip, this toy is sure to provide hours of fun and entertainment for your cat (and you)! Just the right size for most adult cats to carry around, too!

This listing is for a single eyeball cat toy in dark brown. I will be listing other eyeball cat toys in other colors, or I would be happy to make them in custom colors as well, if you want an eye color not found in nature.

This eyeball is crocheted from 100% acrylic yarn in black, dark brown, white, and red. It is stuffed with catnip encased in a small piece of cotton fabric. The eyeball measures about 3 inches (7.6 cm) long with the "tail" extended, and weighs only a couple of ounces, at most. The ends of the yarn have all been tied off and woven in securely, so there should be no loose yarn for your cat to swallow.

Since catnip will eventually lose its potency, I recommend storing this cat toy in a container of catnip when your cat starts to lose interest in it. This cat toy is not meant to be washed or dried.

Black and Purple Crocheted Striped Arm Warmers (size S-M)

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:15:51 -0500

$20.00
Arm warmers great for the days at the change of seasons--when it's warm enough to wear a T-shirt, but you still want something to cover your arms in the shade.

The arm warmers are crocheted from 100% acrylic mohair-feel yarn in stripes of black and bright purple.

The arm warmers measure 9 1/2 inches long (24 cm), and are about 7 1/2 inches (19 cm) in circumference. The thumb hole sits about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) from the edge of the arm warmer. I'm about 5'2", and these arm warmers extend to the point where my hand joins my fingers, and about 2/3 of the way up my forearm. I would call this size a small or medium.

These arm warmers can be machine washed and dried. The yarn used is already super soft, and washing it only makes it softer.

Strawberry Neapolitan Crocheted Ice Cream Cozy

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:39:23 -0500

$10.00
Ice cream is meant to be eaten directly from a pint sized container. The only problem with this theory is that those containers make your hands cold. Solve the problem with this crocheted ice cream cozy in pink, tan, and white. This one definitely reminds me of the three flavors that are a part of neapolitan ice creams, with extra strawberry! Yummy!

This ice cream cozy is made of 100% cotton yarn, in variegated pink, tan, and white, held together with solid pink yarn. It measures about 3 1/2 inches tall, and has a circumference of about 11 inches. It fits just perfectly on a Ben & Jerry's pint sized container of ice cream, and should fit on other brands just as well.

This cozy can be machine washed and dried, with no fear of it shrinking. Due to its small size, however, you may prefer to hand wash it and allow it to air dry.

Psychedelic Rainbow with White Spots Crocheted Mushroom

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 09:56:10 -0500

$25.00
What do you do with a large crocheted mushroom? I envision them as giant pincushions, but they'd also make a cute decoration without pins stuck in them.

The top of this mushroom is crocheted from 85% acrylic, 15% wool yarn, and embellished with acrylic felt circles, stitched to the crocheted top with cotton-poly thread. The base of the mushroom is crocheted from 80% wool, 20% nylon yarn, repurposed from a sweater. The mushroom is stuffed with polyfil, and there is a small metal lid in the base, to provide stability. Although the mushroom is only weighted down by the lid, it stands up well.

This mushroom measures 5 1/2 inches tall (14 cm), and the base measures 3 inches across (7.5 cm). The widest point of the mushroom is approximately 4 1/2 inches across (11.5 cm).

This mushroom is not intended for use as a toy. It should not be washed or dried, though it can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.

Green Eyes Crocheted Eyeball Bun Covers (1 pair)

Fri, 25 Dec 2009 11:58:26 -0500

$7.00
If you're a little bit creepy like me, you might like the idea of eyes in the back of your head... or in this case, eyeballs covering up two small buns on the back of your head! (They also work really well to keep your hair out of the way when wearing yarn or dread falls, but who wants to cover up a pair like this?) These would be extra fun for a spooky Halloween costume!

These bun covers are crocheted from black, olive green, and white 100% acrylic yarn, and are designed to look vaguely like a pair of eyeballs. They have white braided ties at the moment, but if you want something a little more gross, I can replace the white braided ties with red braided ties (as shown in the third picture) for that visceral look. Just let me know when you order them!

These bun covers measure approximately 2 1/2 inches in diameter across the surface, and 1 3/4 inches high. They will stretch slightly to accommodate slightly larger buns. They were designed to fit my thick, shoulder length hair when pulled into two buns--if you have longer hair, they may be a bit small. The braided ties measure at least 8 inches long.

The bun covers are safe to machine wash and dry, but I would recommend hand washing and air drying, due to the small size.

Ice cream is meant to be eaten directly from a pint sized container. The only problem with this theory is that those containers make your hands cold. Solve the problem with this crocheted ice cream cozy in two shades of green!

This ice cream cozy is made of 100% cotton yarn, in a bright kelly green and lime green. It measures about 3 1/2 inches tall, and has a circumference of about 11 inches. It fits just perfectly on a Ben & Jerry's pint sized container of ice cream, and should fit on other brands just as well.

Bright Purple Crocheted Bun Covers (1 pair)

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 10:02:55 -0500

$6.00
If you ever wanted to look like Chun Li on Street Fighter, or if you're just looking for a way to keep stray hairs from escaping your buns, this is the perfect item for you! They also work really well to keep your hair out of the way when wearing yarn or dread falls, which is part of the reason I made my first pair.

These bright purple colored bun covers measure approximately 2 1/2 inches in diameter across the surface, and 1 3/4 inches high. They will stretch slightly to accommodate slightly larger buns. They were designed to fit my thick, shoulder length hair when pulled into two buns--if you have longer hair, they may be a bit small. The braided ties measure about 8 inches long.

Pink Layer Cake Crocheted Ruffled Hat

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 08:51:30 -0500

$40.00
The December challenge for the Big Damn Crafters was to create a "present" for one of the crew members of Serenity. I drew Kaylee, so I made a hat that would match her dress from the episode "Shindig." This is a super girly, super ruffly hat. The ruffles all the way down the sides also make this a warmer hat than your average beanie. It is a one of a kind, never to be reproduced, creation.

This hat is crocheted from three different colors of pink yarn. All of the yarn is 100% acrylic, which means that this hat can be machine washed and dried with no fear of it shrinking.

The brim on this hat measures about 22 inches around, and will easily stretch to fit a larger head size. It measures about 7 1/2 inches from the top to the edge of the ruffle, which means it should cover most people's ears. This hat would be big (and heavy) on most children.

Purple Crocheted Cthulhu Amigurumi Plush

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:50:15 -0500

$25.00
Everyone needs their own adorable Elder God, right?

This is an amigurumi style Cthulhu plush, made of purple acrylic/wool blend yarn, and stuffed with fiberfill. The eyes are black acrylic/wool blend yarn. Eyes and wings are stitched on, while the tentacles are tied securely to the face, for just the right amount of writhing and flailing.

This plush measures about 5 inches tall, and has a wingspan of 5 inches. It is a bit overstuffed, so that it measures about 2 inches across at the base, but 2 3/4 inches across at the midsection and head. It has no feet, but will stand upright with a little effort (get the base as flat as you can, and then smush the plush down a little). She's soft and lovable, but is not intended as a children's toy. She is designed for use by persons age 13 and up.

I recommend against washing this toy, as it is likely to become misshapen and lumpy (and possibly a bit angry). However, it is technically safe to wash, if absolutely necessary. (The wool content of the yarn is superwash wool, which should not shrink when washed.)

Blue and Purple Striped Crocheted Arm Warmers (size M-L)

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:50:15 -0500

$20.00
Arm warmers great for the days at the change of seasons--when it's warm enough to wear a T-shirt, but you still want something to cover your arms in the shade.

The arm warmers are crocheted from 98% acrylic, 2% polyester yarn in stripes of bright light blue and slightly mottled dark purple. Both of the colors are slightly mottled, with darker and lighter portions throughout. The purple has bits of several other colors woven into the yarn, giving it almost an iridescent color.

The arm warmers measure 9 1/2 inches long (24 cm), and are about 8 1/2 inches (22 cm) in circumference. The thumb hole sits about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) from the edge of the arm warmer. I'm about 5'2", and these arm warmers extend to the point where my hand joins my fingers, and about 2/3 of the way up my forearm. I would call this size a medium or large--they are very loose on my skinny little wrists.

These arm warmers can be machine washed and dried. The yarn used is already super soft, and washing it only makes it softer.

Red Crocheted Fish Cat Toy (with catnip)

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:50:15 -0500

$7.00
If you've got a cat that likes catnip, this toy is sure to provide hours of fun and entertainment for your cat (and you)! Just the right size for most adult cats to carry around, too!

This fish is crocheted from 100% acrylic yarn in red. The fish is stuffed with fiberfill and catnip encased in a small piece of cotton fabric. The fish measures about 3 inches (7.6 cm) long, and weighs only a couple of ounces, at most. The ends of the yarn have all been tied off and woven in securely, so there should be no loose yarn or stuffing for your cat to swallow.

Since catnip will eventually lose its potency, I recommend storing this cat toy in a container of catnip when your cat starts to lose interest in it. This cat toy is not meant to be washed or dried.

Decapitated Dollies - The Headless Horseman - Crocheted Plush Head

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:50:15 -0500

$15.00
The Headless Horseman is a creature of legend, known particularly for not having a head. While the decapitated head of the Headless Horseman is what keeps him going, his replacement pumpkin head is what is featured here.

The Headless Horseman is simply an orange sphere, with black eyes and a black toothy grimace.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for small children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with her very own "death certificate," which lists her name, her date of death, and her cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is black with silver skulls and bones. The back of the "death certificate" will vary slightly from the one shown here.

If you have a name or a cause of decapitation that you'd like to see immortalized in a Decapitated Dollie, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

Rainbow Brick Stitch Scarflette

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 10:04:52 -0500

$20.00
This scarflette is crocheted from 100% acrylic yarn. The colors in the yarn are bright rainbow hues, along with a few stripes of a more subdued rainbow range.

The scarflette is crocheted primarily in a brick stitch pattern, giving it a neat texture and making it warmer than it might look at first glance. It is about 4 1/2 inches (11.5 cm) wide at the narrow end, but widens out to 8 inches (20 cm) at the wide end. This is actually intentional, as I find that normal scarves often don't fill in the V-neck on a dressy coat very well. With one wide end, you can use that portion to keep your chest warm and toss the other end over your shoulder.

The scarflette measures only 40 inches (102 cm) long, so it will be very short on most adults. Alternately, this could be used as a child's scarf.

This scarflette can be washed and dried without fear of shrinking. The colors in the yarn should not bleed, but wash with like colors (darks) to be extra safe.

Decapitated Dollies - C-3P0 - Crocheted Plush Robot Head

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:47:22 -0500

$15.00
Oh dear! C-3P0 has gone and had his head come off. Again. Lovingly based off of a character from three of my favorite movies of all time, this Decapitated Dollie is a tribute to that shiny golden droid we all know and love.

C-3P0 is crocheted from light gold colored yarn, with black facial detailing. In the center of each of his eyes, a small black glass bead gives them the necessary shininess.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Embellishments have been attached as securely as possible, but can still come out with rough handling. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for small children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with his or her very own "death certificate," which lists his or her name, date of death, and cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is brown with gold stars, skulls and crossbones, and hearts. The back of the "death certificate" will vary slightly from the one shown here.

If you have a name or a cause of decapitation that you'd like to see immortalized in a Decapitated Dollie, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

Green and Silver Crocheted Bun Covers (1 pair)

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:34:28 -0500

$7.00
If you ever wanted to look like Chun Li on Street Fighter, or if you're just looking for a way to keep stray hairs from escaping your buns, this is the perfect item for you! They also work really well to keep your hair out of the way when wearing yarn or dread falls, which is part of the reason I made my first pair. This pair is inspired by the Slytherin house from Harry Potter, and would make a great addition to a Slytherin Halloween costume!

These green and light gray striped bun covers measure approximately 2 1/2 inches in diameter across the surface, and 1 3/4 inches high. They will stretch slightly to accommodate slightly larger buns. They were designed to fit my thick, shoulder length hair when pulled into two buns--if you have longer hair, they may be a bit small. The braided ties measure at least 8 inches long.

The bun covers are made from 100% acrylic yarn. They are safe to machine wash and dry, but I would recommend hand washing and air drying, due to the small size.

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 09:34:41 -0500

$20.00
Lucy is a modern sort of girl. Rather than having kaleidoscope eyes, she went for kaleidoscope hair. But the end result was still the same. The sun was in her eyes, and she's gone.

Lucy has a rainbow of hair colors (wool and acrylic yarn), pulled into two long ponytails, secured with black yarn bows. Her eyes are a light shade of lavender, and she wears dull silver colored hoop earrings.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.

Doctor Who Scarf Crocheted Ice Cream Cozy

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:18:04 -0500

$10.00
Ice cream is meant to be eaten directly from a pint sized container. The only problem with this theory is that those containers make your hands cold. Solve the problem with this crocheted ice cream cozy inspired by the scarf worn by Doctor Who (original series).

This ice cream cozy is made of nearly 100% cotton yarn, in stripes of red, yellow, khaki green, blue-gray (75% cotton, 25% acrylic), purple, beige, and cream. The exact stripe pattern of your ice cream cozy may vary slightly from the one depicted--I make these by grabbing one color to start, and then working through all of the colors in a random sequence and stripe pattern. It measures about 3 1/2 inches tall, and has a circumference of about 11 inches. It fits just perfectly on a Ben & Jerry's pint sized container of ice cream, and should fit on other brands just as well.

I would recommend washing this specific cozy by hand, because the red is likely to bleed. The red yarn has been pre-washed to minimize bleeding, but it may still give off some dye. It is probably safe to put into the dryer, but you can air dry it if you want to be extra careful.

Doctor Who Scarf Crocheted Coffee Cozy

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:39:23 -0500

$8.00
Dress up your coffee shop coffee with this fashionable and environmentally friendly crocheted coffee cozy! Even when the cardboard coffee sleeves are made from recycled cardboard, they still end up back in the trash (or the recycling bin). Instead, use this washable coffee cozy, inspired by the scarf worn by Doctor Who (original series), to keep your hand protected from the hot coffee cup!

This coffee cozy is made of nearly 100% cotton yarn, in stripes of red, yellow, khaki green, blue-gray (75% cotton, 25% acrylic), purple, beige, and cream. The exact stripe pattern of your coffee cozy may vary slightly from the one depicted--I make these by grabbing one color to start, and then working through all of the colors in a random sequence and stripe pattern. It can stretch to fit onto any size of paper coffee cup. Unstretched, the cozy is 1 1/2 inches tall, 9 inches around at the top, and 8 inches around at the bottom.

I would recommend washing this specific cozy by hand, because the red is likely to bleed. The red yarn has been pre-washed to minimize bleeding, but it may still give off some dye. It is probably safe to put into the dryer, but you can air dry it if you want to be extra careful.

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 22:07:17 -0500

$20.00
The Queen of Hearts was always yelling "off with her head." It was only inevitable that her orders would someday get the best of her, and it would be off with HER head, instead of Alice's.

The Queen of Hearts has black hair and bright blue eyes. Her hair is in two thin braids, and she wears a small golden colored crown, embellished with a red heart, atop her head. A pair of small silver colored flower earrings with blue gems adorn her ears.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.

Pie A La Mode Crocheted Ice Cream Cozy

Ice cream is meant to be eaten directly from a pint sized container. The only problem with this theory is that those containers make your hands cold. Solve the problem with this crocheted ice cream cozy in burgundy, dark blue, and white!

This ice cream cozy is made of 100% cotton yarn, in variegated burgundy, dark blue, and white, along with solid burgundy. There are two narrow stripes (one on each side) of the solid burgundy as well. It measures about 3 1/2 inches tall, and has a circumference of about 11 inches. It fits just perfectly on a Ben & Jerry's pint sized container of ice cream, and should fit on other brands just as well.

Crocheted Cupcake with Mint Green Icing and a Cherry on Top

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:48:06 -0500

$7.00
These crocheted cupcakes could make a lovely addition to a child's tea party, or they could be used by adults as a pincushion. Either way, they're adorably cute and sure to be loved by their recipients.

This cupcake is crocheted from mint green yarn and tan yarn, both of which are 100% acrylic. The package for the "cherries" (red pom-poms) does not give fiber content, but I suspect that it is also synthetic fibers. The cupcake is stuffed with fiberfill, and can stand on it's own (though it is a touch wobbly).

The cupcake measures about 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) tall, and 2 inches (5 cm) across the base. This makes it just a bit smaller than a normal cupcake, as it sits loosely in my cupcake pan.

The second photo shows a collection of these cupcakes; this listing is only for the mint green colored cupcake with the tan base. If you're interested in more cupcakes, check out the other listings in my shop, or convo me if you're looking for a specific color that I don't have listed.

These cupcakes are safe for children to play with, though small children should be watched closely. The "cherry" is sewn to a button on the inside, and should stay securely attached, but please keep a close eye on any children prone to putting their toys in their mouths.

(Although these cupcakes are very lightweight, I ship them in sturdy boxes to prevent them from being smushed into strange shapes. This makes the shipping a bit higher than another object of this weight would be.)

$20.00
Isshaera was a brave Wookie who fought alongside his brethren. But war is always dangerous, and Isshaera was decapitated by a stray blaster shot. He will be missed.

Isshaera is crocheted from a medium brown yarn, and has a mane of hair and small beard in the same color. Brown eyes, a black nose, and light pink lips finish off Isshaera's face.

Green with White Spots Crocheted Mushroom

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:38:36 -0500

$25.00
What do you do with a large crocheted mushroom? I envision them as giant pincushions, but they'd also make a cute decoration without pins stuck in them.

The top of this mushroom is crocheted from 80% acrylic, 20% wool yarn, and embellished with acrylic felt circles, stitched to the crocheted top with cotton-poly thread. The base of the mushroom is crocheted from 80% wool, 20% nylon yarn, repurposed from a sweater. The mushroom is stuffed with polyfil, and there is a small metal lid in the base, to provide stability. Although the mushroom is only weighted down by the lid, it stands up well.

This mushroom measures 6 inches tall (15 cm), and the base measures 3 inches across (7.5 cm). The widest point of the mushroom is approximately 4 1/2 inches across (11.5 cm).

This mushroom is not intended for use as a toy. It should not be washed or dried, though it can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.

Flock was totally into the new wave scene, so much that he styled his hair like the members of Flock of Seagulls. That didn't stop a zombie from biting him, though, and it didn't stop his head from coming off when he ran... he ran so far away.

Flock the Zombie has a combed-over section of blonde hair covering a small gray patch of exposed brains and red blood. His flesh is rotten green, His eyes are dead white, and his lips have turned purple.

Decapitated Dollies - Marie Antoinette - Crocheted Plush Head

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:39:45 -0500

$20.00
For my historical Decapitated Dollies, I had to go with the most famous of decapitated ladies, Marie Antoinette. Just like her historical counterpart, this Decapitated Dollie version of Marie Antoinette was decapitated by guillotine.

Marie Antoinette has white hair, which is piled into an elegant bun atop her head. She has blue eyes.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.

Bright Jewel Colors Ribbed Crocheted Hat (Child Sized)

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:12:15 -0500

$18.00
This hat has a ribbed pattern to it, which makes it extra stretchy. It is a child sized hat, which should fit children between about 6-9 months old up to about 4 years old. Some older children and adults will be able to wear it as well, though it may not cover their ears completely. And, of course, there's a fun pompom on the top.

The yarn I used for it is 100% acrylic yarn, in a variegated bright jewel colorway. The main colors are vivid turquoise, blue, purple, and magenta. The colors in the photos do not quite do this hat justice--it's a very beautifully colored yarn. The hat can be machine washed and dried, though hand washing may be preferred to maintain the pompom's current shape. (Machine washing and drying may cause the pompom to get fuzzier and also lose some strands.)

This hat measured 19 inches around the brim, and stretches to accommodate slightly larger heads (it will fit tightly onto my 22 inch head, which is a fairly average sized adult head). From the base of the pompom, the hat measures 7 inches to the brim.

Cotton Candy (Light Pink and Purple) Yarn Hair Falls

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:04:19 -0500

$20.00
I am always wanting to do funky things to my hair, but the real world doesn't always let me have my way. I started making yarn falls so that I could have fun colored hair that was easy to attach and remove.

These yarn falls are designed to cover up pigtails or two separate buns, but they can also be used together to cover a ponytail or single bun. They will not provide complete coverage for most people's hair, as the yarn has a tendency to shift around and occasionaly reveal your natural hair. The final picture in this listing shows another pair of my yarn falls in action (just ignore my crazy makeup).

The yarn used for this pair of yarn falls is predominantly light pink and lavender synthetic yarn, twisted together. There are also several shades and types of pink yarn, ranging from baby pink to hot pink. The longest pieces of yarn measure about 12 inches long, and the shortest are about 8 inches long.

All of the yarn is attached to a single black elastic ponytail holder (no metal parts), which measures 2 inches in diameter unstretched. A second cloth ponytail holder is attached to the main loop, also measuring about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (unstretched), which allows you to secure these yarn falls into your hair.

If you need instructions on how to wear these yarn falls, just mention this in the "Notes to Seller" section of your order. I can explain it fairly easily, and will be happy to assist you further, if necessary, after the yarn falls are received.

The longest pieces of yarn measure about 11 inches long, and the shortest are about 9 inches long.

All of the yarn is attached to a single cloth ponytail holder, which measures 1 inch in diameter unstretched. A second cloth ponytail holder is attached to the main loop, also measuring about 1 inch in diameter (unstretched), which allows you to secure these yarn falls into your hair.

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:55:14 -0500

$15.00
One of the perils of being a snowman or snowwoman is warmth. All is good in the world when it's below freezing, but when the mercury rises, bad things start happening. Poor Frostina got hit with a warm spell, and her head melted right off of her shoulders!

Frostina is crocheted from white yarn, with black facial detailing. She wears a small red ruffled hat with white detailing. She also has a pair of earrings that look a bit like snowmen themselves.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Earring embellishments are attached as securely as possible, but can come loose with rough handling. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for small children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with his or her very own "death certificate," which lists his or her name, date of death, and cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is an aqua color with silver swirls. The back of the "death certificate" will vary from the one shown here.

If you have a name or a cause of decapitation that you'd like to see immortalized in a Decapitated Dollie, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

This cupcake is crocheted from gold colored yarn and tan yarn, both of which are 100% acrylic. The package for the "cherries" (red pom-poms) does not give fiber content, but I suspect that it is also synthetic fibers. The cupcake is stuffed with fiberfill, and can stand on it's own (though it is a touch wobbly).

The cupcake measures about 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) tall, and 2 inches (5 cm) across the base. This makes it just a bit smaller than a normal cupcake, as it sits loosely in my cupcake pan.

The second photo shows a collection of these cupcakes; this listing is only for the gold colored cupcake. If you're interested in more cupcakes, check out the other listings in my shop, or convo me if you're looking for a specific color that I don't have listed.

These cupcakes are designed for use by persons age 13 and up.

(Although these cupcakes are very lightweight, I ship them in sturdy boxes to prevent them from being smushed into strange shapes. This makes the shipping a bit higher than another object of this weight would be.)

Lavender Stuffed Crocheted Cupcake with Lavender Icing and a Cherry on Top

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:38:55 -0500

$10.00
What's better than an adorable cupcake plushie? How about a cupcake plushie stuffed with fragrant French lavender?

I've crocheted one of my normal cupcakes, but instead of the fiberfill that I normally use, this cupcake is filled with cotton fabric wrapped around lavender from Seven Oaks Lavender Farm in Catlett, Virginia. The lavender is fragrant and soothing, making this a great item to keep by your bed, in the bathroom, or as a sachet in your drawers or closets.

This cupcake is crocheted from lavender yarn (acrylic with a bit of polyester) and tan yarn (100% acrylic). The package for the "cherries" (red pom-poms) does not give fiber content, but I suspect that it is also synthetic fibers.

The cupcake measures about 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) tall, and 2 inches (5 cm) across the base. This makes it just a bit smaller than a normal cupcake, as it sits loosely in my cupcake pan.

These cupcakes are designed for use by persons age 13 and up. The lavender should remain securely wrapped in the cotton fabric, but some pieces may eventually escape if the cupcake is handled roughly.

Decapitated Dollies - Anne Boleyn - Crocheted Plush Head

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:53:26 -0500

$20.00
Most of us know the story of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII. Being married to that guy was just plain bad news, or so it seems. And so Anne Boleyn ended up decapitated, which earns her a spot in the Decapitated Dollies collection!

Anne has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, and a wry smile on her face. Her hair is fashioned into a small bun on the back of her head, and she wears a black sort of hat. Her hat is stitched on. She wears tiny purple gem-cut earrings, and has a button in the shape of the letter B attached to her neck.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Those with earrings or earring embellishments have been attached as securely as possible, but can still come out with rough handling. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for small children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with his or her very own "death certificate," which lists his or her name, date of death, and cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is black with silver skulls and bones, arranged in hexagons. The back of the "death certificate" will vary slightly from the one shown here.

If you have a name or a cause of decapitation that you'd like to see immortalized in a Decapitated Dollie, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

Crocheted Dark Green Cthulhu Bun Covers (1 pair)

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:13:23 -0500

$13.00
Everyone needs their own adorable Elder God bun covers, right?

If you're just looking for a way to keep stray hairs from escaping your buns, this is the perfect item for you! After all, what Elder God would allow unruly hair to escape?

These bun covers were crocheted from a dark green yarn, along with white yarn and black yarn for the eyes. The tentacles and eyes are crocheted separately from the main bun cover, but are securely attached. The braided ties allow you to tie the bun covers on, and the ends of the ties provide additional tentacle-y goodness.

These bun covers measure approximately 2 1/2 inches in diameter across the surface, and 1 3/4 inches high. Each tentacle is 2-3 inches long when stretched out straight, but curled up, they are closer to 1 1/2-2 inches. The bun covers will stretch slightly to accommodate slightly larger buns. They were designed to fit my thick, shoulder length hair when pulled into two buns--if you have longer hair, they may be a bit small. The braided ties measure at least 8 inches long.

The bun covers are made from 100% acrylic yarn. They are safe to machine wash and dry, but I would recommend hand washing and air drying, due to the small size.

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:07:34 -0500

Steve became a zombie when he was bitten by a zombie dog. He stopped being a zombie when some guy with a chainsaw got a good clean shot on Steve's neck. Remember kids: remove the head or destroy the brain.

Steve the Zombie has dark brown hair and rotten green flesh. His eyes are dead white, his lips have turned purple, and he's got a small red gash near one of his eyes, where the chainsaw first connected.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.

$20.00
Wednesday Addams always liked playing "Is there a God?" with her brother, Pugsley. This time, though, her brother got the better of her, and she ended up with her head separated from her shoulders.

Wednesday has black hair, braided into two low braids on either side of her head. Her eyes are dark brown, and her lips are black.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.

Black and Burgundy Crocheted Coffee Cozy

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:53:03 -0500

$8.00
Dress up your coffee shop coffee with this fashionable and environmentally friendly crocheted coffee cozy! Even when the cardboard coffee sleeves are made from recycled cardboard, they still end up back in the trash (or the recycling bin). Instead, use this washable coffee cozy to keep your hand protected from the hot coffee cup!

This coffee cozy is crocheted from 100% cotton yarn, in black with two stripes in burgundy. It can stretch to fit onto any size of paper coffee cup. Unstretched, the cozy is 1 1/2 inches tall (3.5 cm), 9 inches around at the top (23 cm), and 8 inches around at the bottom (20 cm).

This cozy can be machine washed and dried, but due to the small size, you may prefer to hand wash it and let it air dry. Some of the darker colors of cotton yarn tend to bleed when washed, so be sure to wash this cozy with like colors.

Decapitated Dollies - Delirium - Crocheted Plush Head

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:13:02 -0500

$20.00
Yet again, I'm making a slightly obscure reference to a comic book character. Delirium is a rather crazy little girl, part of the Endless in Neil Gaiman's Sandman. In this case, nothing horrible happened to make her a Decapitated Dollie--her head just simply stopped being attached to her shoulders. She's okay with this fact. It'll right itself sooner or later.

Delirium has a rainbow of hair colors (wool and acrylic yarn) on a base of red hair. It is attached to her head so that it's just plain wild. She wears a pair of tiny butterfly earrings. She has one green eye and one blue eye. Her skin is white, just like it is in the comics.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball.

Crocheted Light Green Eyeball Cat Toy (with catnip)

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:48:52 -0500

$5.00
Morbid, yes. People who know me well know how squicked out I am by eyeballs, but it's so much fun to watch my cats roll around on the floor playing with their eyeball cat toy. If you've got a cat that likes catnip, this toy is sure to provide hours of fun and entertainment for your cat (and you)! Just the right size for most adult cats to carry around, too!

This listing is for a single eyeball cat toy in light green. I will be listing other eyeball cat toys in other colors, or I would be happy to make them in custom colors as well, if you want an eye color not found in nature.

This eyeball is crocheted from 100% acrylic yarn in black, dark green, white, and red. It is stuffed with catnip encased in a small piece of cotton fabric. The eyeball measures about 3 inches (7.6 cm) long with the "tail" extended, and weighs only a couple of ounces, at most. The ends of the yarn have all been tied off and woven in securely, so there should be no loose yarn for your cat to swallow.

Since catnip will eventually lose its potency, I recommend storing this cat toy in a container of catnip when your cat starts to lose interest in it. This cat toy is not meant to be washed or dried.

Even for somebody who went skiing at every opportunity, there was always a little danger on the slopes. That's kind of what Jennifer lived for. But when she thought she heard an avalanche coming down the mountain, she didn't watch where she was going. A tree branch took her head clean off.

Jennifer has dark hair, in a single low braid, tied with blue yarn that matches her crocheted ski hat. She has dark green eyes.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.

Pink and Dark Gray Striped Crocheted Arm Warmers (size M-L)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:51:48 -0500

$20.00
Arm warmers great for the days at the change of seasons--when it's warm enough to wear a T-shirt, but you still want something to cover your arms in the shade.

The arm warmers are crocheted from 98% acrylic, 2% polyester yarn in stripes of pink and dark gray. Both of the colors are slightly mottled, with darker and lighter portions throughout.

The arm warmers measure 9 1/2 inches long (24 cm), and are about 8 1/2 inches (22 cm) in circumference. The thumb hole sits about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) from the edge of the arm warmer. I'm about 5'2", and these arm warmers extend to the point where my hand joins my fingers, and about 2/3 of the way up my forearm. I would call this size a medium or large--they are very loose on my skinny little wrists.

These arm warmers can be machine washed and dried. The yarn used is already super soft, and washing it only makes it softer.

Red with White Spots Crocheted Mushroom

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:37:58 -0500

$25.00
What do you do with a large crocheted mushroom? I envision them as giant pincushions, but they'd also make a cute decoration without pins stuck in them.

The top of this mushroom is crocheted from 100% acrylic yarn, and embellished with acrylic felt circles, stitched to the crocheted top with cotton-poly thread. The base of the mushroom is crocheted from 80% wool, 20% nylon yarn, repurposed from a sweater. The mushroom is stuffed with polyfil, and there is a small metal lid in the base, to provide stability. Although the mushroom is only weighted down by the lid, it stands up well.

This mushroom measures 5 1/2 inches tall (14 cm), and the base measures 3 inches across (7.5 cm). The widest point of the mushroom is approximately 4 1/2 inches across (11.5 cm).

This mushroom is not intended for use as a toy. It should not be washed or dried, though it can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.

Salmon Rose Crocheted Bun Covers (1 pair)

$6.00
If you ever wanted to look like Chun Li on Street Fighter, or if you're just looking for a way to keep stray hairs from escaping your buns, this is the perfect item for you! They also work really well to keep your hair out of the way when wearing yarn or dread falls, which is part of the reason I made my first pair.

These salmon rose colored bun covers measure approximately 2 1/2 inches in diameter across the surface, and 1 3/4 inches high. They will stretch slightly to accommodate slightly larger buns. They were designed to fit my thick, shoulder length hair when pulled into two buns--if you have longer hair, they may be a bit small. The braided ties measure at least 8 inches long.

The bun covers are made from 100% acrylic yarn. They are safe to machine wash and dry, but I would recommend hand washing and air drying, due to the small size.

Decapitated Dollies - Shepherd Book

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:50:34 -0500

$20.00
Shepherd Book didn't really get decapitated in "Serenity," but I wanted to make a Decapitated Dollie of him anyway, to immortalize his "brains are in terrible danger" action hair. Mild mannered priest by day, wild man of Borneo by night. Sure, you can tie it back with a black ribbon, but it'll still be there. Waiting.

Shepherd Book is crocheted from a medium brown yarn, with gray yarn for his hair. Each strand of yarn his "brains are in terrible danger" action hair has been unraveled by hand to give him a fuller head of hair. He has dark brown eyes and a thin gray mustache. You could use some black ribbon (not included) to tie his hair back, but his hair really doesn't like to stay back. The snow on the roof is too heavy.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Those with earrings or earring embellishments have been attached as securely as possible, but can still come out with rough handling. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for small children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with his or her very own "death certificate," which lists his or her name, date of death, and cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is black with silver skulls and bones, arranged in a hexagonal pattern. The back of the "death certificate" will vary slightly from the one shown here.

If you have a name or a cause of decapitation that you'd like to see immortalized in a Decapitated Dollie, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

The Blue Lady Set (Crocheted Ruffle Hat and Scarf)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:57:48 -0500

$50.00
Two shades of blue, both with flecks of other faint colors, complement each other gorgeously in this hat and scarf set. The yarns are fluffy and warm, making this an ideal set for colder climates or those really cold days in a warmer climate.

The hat is extra long, and the ruffle can be tilted back to keep it out of your eyes. The hat measures 9 1/2 inches long (24 cm) from the crown to the edge of the ruffle, so it will easily cover an adult's ears. It measures 23 inches (58.5 cm) around just above the ruffle, which will allow it to fit even over thick hair or a ponytail. This hat would be too large for most children, and might even overwhelm some teenagers.

The scarf measures 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide and 60 inches (152.5 cm) long. Despite the lacy pattern, it is a very warm scarf, especially when you wind it completely around your neck.

All of the yarn used in this set is acrylic/polyester blend yarn, so the set can be machine washed and dried with no worries of shrinking either piece. You may wish to dry the scarf in a lingerie bag, so that the holes don't get caught on other items of clothing.

Crocheted Cupcake with Yellow Icing and a Cherry on Top

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:54:08 -0500

$7.00
These crocheted cupcakes could make a cute decoration, or they could be used by adults as a pincushion. Either way, they're adorable and sure to be loved by their recipients!

This is a crocheted cupcake with a fully attached cherry on top. This cupcake is crocheted from red, light yellow, and tan yarns, all of which are 100% acrylic. The cupcake is stuffed with fiberfill, and can stand on it's own (though it is a touch wobbly).

The cupcake measures about 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) tall, and 2 inches (5 cm) across the base. This makes it just a bit smaller than a normal cupcake, as it sits loosely in my cupcake pan.

The second photo shows a collection of these cupcakes; this listing is only for the yellow cupcake with the light colored base. If you're interested in more cupcakes, check out the other listings in my shop, or convo me if you're looking for a specific color that I don't have listed.

These cupcakes are designed for use by persons age 13 and up.

(Although these cupcakes are very lightweight, I ship them in sturdy boxes to prevent them from being smushed into strange shapes. This makes the shipping a bit higher than another object of this weight would be.)

Crocheted Speckled Blue Eyeball Cat Toy (with catnip)

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:26:50 -0500

$5.00
Morbid, yes. People who know me well know how squicked out I am by eyeballs, but it's so much fun to watch my cats roll around on the floor playing with their eyeball cat toy. If you've got a cat that likes catnip, this toy is sure to provide hours of fun and entertainment for your cat (and you)! Just the right size for most adult cats to carry around, too!

This listing is for a single eyeball cat toy in speckled blue (predominantly blue, with some other colors--not all colors appear in all versions of this particular yarn). I will be listing other eyeball cat toys in other colors, or I would be happy to make them in custom colors as well, if you want an eye color not found in nature.

This eyeball is crocheted from 100% acrylic yarn in black, speckled blue, white, and red. It is stuffed with catnip encased in a small piece of cotton fabric. The eyeball measures about 3 inches (7.6 cm) long with the "tail" extended, and weighs only a couple of ounces, at most. The ends of the yarn have all been tied off and woven in securely, so there should be no loose yarn for your cat to swallow.

Since catnip will eventually lose its potency, I recommend storing this cat toy in a container of catnip when your cat starts to lose interest in it. This cat toy is not meant to be washed or dried.

Ice Planet Prop (Firefly, Serenity) for Cosplay

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:17:00 -0500

$20.00
"My food is problematic."

If you're a fan of Joss Whedon's Firefly, you'll probably recognize this item right away. It's a reproduction of the "ice planet" that River Tam and Shepherd Book eat (or try to eat) in the episode "The Message." Although my version is not edible, it would make for a pretty sweet prop if you plan to cosplay as River (or Book, I suppose).

The planet itself is crocheted from a yarn containing wool (70% acrylic, 20% wool, 10% nylon), and stuffed with fiberfill. The string is braided cotton yarn, with small paper stars glued onto the string. The stick is a square shaped dowel rod.

The ice planet measures 10 1/2 inches (27 cm) at the largest point of its circumference. The dowel rod is 12 inches long (30.5 cm).

Although this probably looks like a wonderful cat toy, PLEASE keep this item away from cats and small children. The yarn contains some loose fibers, which would not be good for cats or kids to get their paws on.

$8.00
These crocheted cupcakes could make a cute decoration, or they could be used by adults as a pincushion. Either way, they're adorable and sure to be loved by their recipients!

This cupcake is crocheted from lavender yarn and dark brown yarn, with a brighter purple yarn for the flower, all of which are 100% acrylic. The cupcake is stuffed with fiberfill, and can stand on it's own (though it is a touch wobbly).

Dark Jewel Colored and Black Crocheted Ice Cream Cozy

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 11:35:17 -0500

$10.00
Ice cream is meant to be eaten directly from a pint sized container. The only problem with this theory is that those containers make your hands cold. Solve the problem with this crocheted ice cream cozy in dark jewel colors and black!

This ice cream cozy is made of 100% cotton yarn, in variegated burgundy, emerald green, blue, and purple, along with solid black. It measures about 3 1/2 inches tall, and has a circumference of about 11 inches. It fits just perfectly on a Ben & Jerry's pint sized container of ice cream, and should fit on other brands just as well.

I would recommend washing this specific cozy by hand, because these colors are likely to bleed. It is probably safe to put into the dryer, but you can air dry it if you want to be extra careful.

Wool/Nylon Blend Tan and Brown Crocheted Striped Arm Warmers (size M-L)

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:49:58 -0400

$20.00
Arm warmers are particularly great for the days at the change of seasons--when it's warm enough to wear a T-shirt, but you still want something to cover your arms in the shade.

The yarn for these arm warmers used to be part of a sweater, which I took apart and crocheted into something new. The fiber content of the arm warmers is 80% lambswool and 20% nylon. The result is a nice, warm yarn that isn't as scratchy as some wool yarns can be.

The arm warmers measure 9 1/2 inches long (24 cm), and are about 8 1/2 inches (22 cm) in circumference. The thumb hole sits about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) from the edge of the arm warmer. I'm about 5'2", and these arm warmers extend to the point where my hand joins my fingers, and about 2/3 of the way up my forearm. I would call this size a medium or large--they are very loose on my skinny little wrists. These arm warmers stretch a bit less than the others in my shop, due to the fiber content.

Due to the wool content in these arm warmers, I recommend hand washing in cold water and air drying. The yarn seems to have felted or fulled a small amount already, and may be done, but in order to avoid shrinking these arm warmers, you're probably better off washing by hand.

Purple and Lime Green Crocheted Ice Cream Cozy

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:29:08 -0400

$10.00
Ice cream is meant to be eaten directly from a pint sized container. The only problem with this theory is that those containers make your hands cold. Solve the problem with this bright purple and lime green crocheted ice cream cozy! Great for a Valentine's Day gift, or perhaps for someone who would rather celebrate Valentine's Day with their ice cream.

This ice cream cozy is made of 100% cotton yarn, in wide stripes of bright purple and lime green. It measures about 3 1/2 inches tall, and has a circumference of about 11 inches. It fits just perfectly on a Ben & Jerry's pint sized container of ice cream, and should fit on other brands just as well.

This cozie can be machine washed and dried with no fear of it shrinking. You may prefer to wash it by hand and let it air dry, however, due to its small size. (I have not used this purple color previously, and cannot be sure yet if it is colorfast.)

Decapitated Dollies - The Green Fairy - Crocheted Plush Head

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:36:27 -0400

$20.00
The Green Fairy is the spirit of absinthe. She imbibed quite happily, until one day she hallucinated her head off. Truly, it was like nothing the world had ever seen before.

The Green Fairy has bright green hair, with a pair of lime green braids. Her eyes are also lime green, and she wears dark green lipstick. Hanging from the base of her head is a small glass vial filled with green beads, simulating a bottle of absinthe. The vial is securely closed and attached with bright green yarn.

Decapitated Dollies are small crocheted heads, disconnected from their bodies. Each Decapitated Dollie is made from 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have an approximate circumference of 8 1/2 inches (about 22 cm), a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Their facial features are stitched on, while their hair is not always fully connected to their head. Decapitated Dollies are not recommended for small children or pets for this reason.

Each Decapitated Dollie comes with his or her very own "death certificate," which lists his or her name, date of death, and cause of death. The back of each "death certificate" is made of patterned cardstock--in the case of this set, the cardstock is black with silver skulls and bones, arranged in hexagons. The back of the "death certificate" will vary slightly from the one shown here.

If you have a name or a cause of decapitation that you'd like to see immortalized in a Decapitated Dollie, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to offer custom Decapitated Dollies in whatever hair, skin, and eye color you prefer, with a variety of hairstyles, names, and causes of decapitation.

SALE - Delirum (Pink, Orange, Yellow, and Green) Yarn Hair Falls

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:36:51 -0400

$18.00
I am always wanting to do funky things to my hair, but the real world doesn't always let me have my way. I started making yarn falls so that I could have fun colored hair that was easy to attach and remove. This pair was made for a Delirium costume for Dragon*Con. I wore them only once, but I'm offering them at a sale price because they have been worn.

These yarn falls are designed to cover up pigtails or two separate buns, but they can also be used together to cover a ponytail or single bun. They will not provide complete coverage for most people's hair, as the yarn has a tendency to shift around and occasionally reveal your natural hair. The fourth picture in this listing shows this pair in action (when I was wearing my Delirium costume and makeup).

The yarn used for this pair of falls is synthetic novelty yarn and ribbon in bright green; some thick variegated red, maroon, and black synthetic yarn; and a variety of acrylic yarns in pink, orange, yellow, and green. They also contain wool yarn in a pink/orange/yellow colorway, and some sparkly dark red synthetic yarn. From the hair tie to the tips, some strands are about 10 inches long, while others are considerably longer.

All of the yarn is attached to a single black elastic ponytail holder (no metal parts), which measures 2 inches in diameter unstretched. A second cloth ponytail holder is attached to the main loop, also measuring about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (unstretched), which allows you to secure these yarn falls into your hair.

If you need instructions on how to wear these yarn falls, just mention this in the "Notes to Seller" section of your order. I can explain it fairly easily, and will be happy to assist you further, if necessary, after the yarn falls are received.

Ambrosia, the Punk Rock Monkey Girl - Crocheted Amigurumi Doll

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:39:01 -0400

$25.00
Ambrosia likes punk music, and she's got the crazy style to prove it. From her piercings to her hair to the chain around her neck, she screams "non-conformity!" But when you really boil it down, she's a cute little purple monkey girl. Just don't let her hear you call her cute!

This is an amigurumi style monkey doll, made of bright purple 100% acrylic yarn, and stuffed with fiberfill. Her hair is red and black 100% acrylic yarn, woven in between the stitches of her scalp. The hair is NOT attached to the scalp, so it can be pulled out--take care! Her face is a mottled green acrylic felt, with features stitched on in white cotton-poly blend thread. She has two actual earrings in each ear, and a short length of silver-colored chain around her neck, locked with a Sanrio lock. (I will send the key to the lock with the doll.)

Ambrosia measures about 5 inches tall, and has a earspan of 4 1/2 inches. She has no feet, but she will stand upright on her own with a little effort (get the base as flat as you can, and then smush her down a little). She's soft and lovable, but is not intended as a children's toy. She is designed for use by persons age 13 and up.

I recommend against washing this toy, as she is likely to become misshapen and lumpy (and possibly a bit angry). She is technically safe to wash, if absolutely necessary.

Pair of Chocolate 'Adult' Crocheted Cupcakes

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:41:38 -0400

$12.00
These could just be chocolate iced cupcakes with a pink colored cherry on the top. Or, if you look at them in a different way, they could be boobie cupcakes!

This pair of cupcakes is crocheted from dark pink, medium brown, and tan yarns, all of which are 100% acrylic. The cupcakes are stuffed with fiberfill, and can stand on their own (though they are a touch wobbly).

These cupcakes measures about 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) tall, and 2 inches (5 cm) across the base. This makes them just a bit smaller than normal cupcakes, as they sits loosely in my cupcake pan.

These cupcakes are designed to be decorative items, for use by persons age 13 and up.

(Although these cupcakes are very lightweight, I ship them in sturdy boxes to prevent them from being smushed into strange shapes. This makes the shipping a bit higher than another object of this weight would be.)
