Handmade Felt Food Pickle Christmas Tree Ornament

Hide a pickle on your Christmas tree as a fun tradition that can be enjoyed by family of all ages every Christmas. Put pickle in an obvious place for small children to find. Stash deep in branches for older children & adults. Have a small extra gift to give to the finder as a reward.

This Ecofelt Christmas pickle ornament is blanket stitched with contrasting cotton embroidery floss & embellished with French knots, sequins & glass beads. A loop of embroidery floss serves as the hanger.

Hide in the tree on Christmas eve. The first person to spot the pickle on Christmas morning gets the extra surprise gift and gets to hide the pickle next Christmas Eve! A nice way to make memories to cherish year after year! We give a box of chocolates! We also hide it over and over so we all get to find it! Why not? It's Christmas morning and it gives us the chance to play together! I highly recommend it!

This listing is for one (1) Christmas pickle tree ornament, 5 1/2 inches long, not including the hanger.

Please specify in comments if you want a sweet gherkin (dark green) or a sour dill (light green). Optional sweet & sour, light green on one side, dark green on the other available too!

If nothing specified in comments, I will choose colors and surprise you!

Thanks for looking!

Start or continue this Christmas tradition! Have fun! Play more! Enjoy the season!

I can make baby or pet (catnip) friendly with no beads upon request.

Vegan friendly. No cucumbers were harmed in the making of these pickles! :) Though we ate a whole jar of bread & butter pickles so I could use the jar take their picture in the barrel! :)p

Merry Christmas! Who's got your pickle?

Peanut Butter Jellyfish Teacake Sandwich Wool Felt Brooch Raspberry Crunch QUIRKY

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:29:52 -0500

$19.00
Once upon a time, in the sea of milk, swam a crunchy peanut butter butter jellyfish and a raspberry jellyfish. Well, as you know, milk makes a better door than a window, so the visibility was very 'white out' conditions. Neither seen the other coming and ~SMOOOSH~ they smacked into one another creating the new taste sensation-Peanut Butter & Jellyfish Teacake Sandwich Wool Felt Brooch Raspberry Crunch.
This quirky character pin is one of a kind and a great conversation piece. The 'bread' is made from 100% Scotland wool that has been wet felted/fulled, Jacob lambswool is needle felted into 'jelly & peanut buttery goodness' with poke after poke of my mad felting needle until they submit to the blob of goo I demand. The tentacles are cotton thread wrapped cotton cord with raspberry glass seed beads on the ends. A juicy red bead of raspberry jelly glistens on the lip of the tea cake in an inviting, sticky, sweet delight.
Safe for peanut allergy!
Don't miss out on this one of a kind delight. Good for pb & j lovers and jellyfish enthusiasts!
CAUTION-This peanut butter is crunchy peanut butter and as you may or may not be aware-crunchy peanut butter is made crunchy with the heads of grasshoppers! Don't look shocked! Yes, it's the truth! Grandma Sharon says so! But don't worry, no grasshoppers were killed making this brooch. Grasshoppers only donate their heads, not their lives for the cause, which readily grow back so they can resume a normal life.

$15.00
This is Gum Gum Clummy the googly-eyed Clampirate. You may or may not have seen the googly eyed clams that Stephen Colbert made on his comedy central show The Colbert Report. He showed the masses how to make these as a viable income for people like me! Behold his clammy pirateness! Gum Gum Clummy has rubber arms which bounce comically when he is moved, randomly slapping himself silly creating hilarious motions. He has a cultured pearl dyed pink for a tongue. He stand very well alone due to his wide stance. He is certain to make everyone laugh! He comes taped up in his packaging and was only let out for a professional photo in the garden.
Thanks for joining in the fun with me!

Yoni Pillow Viva Pussy Revolution Coochie Snorcher

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:27:55 -0500

$45.00
Whether you fear her, seek her, hide her or bathe her in early morning sun, the enigmatic quality of the female anatomy is unmistakably charismatic in her appeal. Deny not the exquisite beauty of the portal that brings forth new life! It is where we have all come and where some seek to return.

This lavishly stuffed yoni pillow is made from fabric that you could imagine as a 'maid of honor' dress! I think it makes a much better pillow! I love these fabrics for crafts!

This unique, one of a kind pillow is done in a quilting style called trupunto. After sewing the design onto two layers of fabric with my sewing machine, tiny slits are made in the back fabric (fleece)(doesn't show) of the design and delicately but firmly stuffed to bring out the detail, texture and dimension. After the details are in place, I whipstitch it closed and a backing piece is put on to cover the trupunto quilting. I then stuff this back layer to make it a truly soft and fully stuffed pillow. French seam finish. 9" x 6" size.
I love the way this turned out. It was so much fun to make. I made it after only seeing a picture of one on a swap and knew exactly how to go about making one of my own. Just for you!
It's great for anatomy lessons! Comes with detailed clitoris, clit hood, gee-spot, hymyn, labia major, labia minor, vulva and taint!
I stuffed the clitoris with a tiny pompom and you can feel it in there when you pet the clit! Yes, the whole thing is very touchable and irresistable! She doesn't purr but she likes to be petted.
Makes a great conversation piece for any pussy positive person.
Her name is Coochie Snorcher. She needs a new home where she will be celebrated.

Thanks for your suppport!

Portraits done by request.

Just kidding on the portrait part. ;))

Evil Eye Protection Knit Eyeball

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:24:29 -0500

$13.00
This evil eye protection symbol is made on a knifty knitter loom (small blue) with white & blue acrylic yarn, red rayon blend, and brown wool. It is lined inside with a length of pantyhose and firmly stuffed with polyfil fiber fill.

The evil eye has been used for centuries to protect fortunate ones from those who want to cast an evil eye. Envy is a negative energy that detracts and saps energy from the envious and the envied. It is thought that the evil eye is protection from the curse of the evil eye, intentional or unintentional.

The perception of the nature of the phenomenon, it's causes, and possible protective measures, varies between different cultures. A better understanding of the term "evil eye" can be gained from the old English word for casting the evil eye, namely "overlooking," implying that the gaze has remained focused on the coveted object, person, or animal for too long.

While some cultures hold that the evil eye is an involuntary jinx cast unintentionally by people unlucky enough to be cursed with the power to bestow it by their gaze, others hold that, while perhaps not strictly voluntary, the power is called forth by the sin of envy.
In most languages the name translates literally into English as "bad eye", "evil eye", "evil look", or just "the eye". Some variants on this general pattern from around the world are:

* Albanian "mer më sysh" (to give somebody the bad eye)
* Armenian "atchk ooloonk" (eye bead); "char atchk" (evil eye)
* Amharic "Buda" (one with envious eyes)
* Standard Arabic عين حسد ayin hasad (eye of envy)
* Standard Arabic "ayin ha'ra" (hot/evil eye)
* Tunisian Arabic "'ayn l-mrida" (sick eye)
* Assyrian "ayna"
* Azerbaijani "göz dəyməsi" (touching of eye); "kəm göz" (evil eye); often simply "göz" (the eye)
* Bengali "Nojor"(Standard: bad thing), "Nazar"(Sylheti and Chittagongian: the curse)
* Bulgarian "uroki"
* Chamorro "Atan baba"
* Croatian "Urokljivo oko" (the cursing eye)
* Danish "det onde øje" (the evil eye)
* Dutch "het boze oog" (the evil eye)
* Filipino "Matang Nanlilisik" (literally: evil eye); "Usog" or "Balis"
* Finnish "Paha silmä" (evil eye)
* French "Le Mauvais Oeil", "La Guigne", "La Skoumoune", depending on region
* Gaelic "Droch shuil" (the evil eye)
* German "Böser Blick" (evil gaze)
* In Greek, to matiasma (μάτιασμα) or mati (μάτι) someone refers to the act of casting the evil eye (Mati being the Greek word for eye); also: "vaskania" (βασκανία, the Greek word for jinx)
* Hebrew "ayin ha'ra" (the evil eye)[9]
* Hindi "Buri Nazar" (evil gaze)
* Hungarian szemmel verés (beating with eyes)
* Kurdish chawi geza (eye (of) unluck), châwenî (evil eye), chawi pîs (dirty eye)
* Italian, malocchio (bad eye)
* Macedonian, "Zlobno Oko" (the evil eye) or "Uroklivo oko" (the cursing eye)
* Maltese "l-għajn il-ħażina" (the bad eye)
* Norwegian "det onde øyet" (the evil eye)
* In Persian various terms can be found, depending on the region. In Iran, people use Ceşm Zaxm (pronounced ”Cheshm Zahm”) which means 'harm caused by eye', or Ceşm Šur (pronounced "Cheshm Shoor") meaning 'Sour-Eyed'. In Afghanistan, Dari-speaking people use the terms "nazar" (vision) or "chashmi bad" (bad or evil eye). Tajiki-speakers use the terms "chashmi bad" (bad or evil eye) or simply "chashmi" (derived from the word "chashm", meaning "eye");
* Polish złe oko (evil eye) or marne oko
* Portuguese, olho gordo (fat eye), quebranto (breaker) or mau olhado (bad gaze)
* Romanian deochi (from the eye)
* Russian сглаз (a noun from verb сглазить from noun глаз - "an eye"), дурной глаз ("evil eye", "bad eye")
* Sicilian, ucchiatura ("eye activity, look")
* Sinhalese eswaha or aswaha
* In Slovak little babies are said to have a malady named z očú (from the eyes)
* In Spanish, the phrase is mal de ojo (eye curse or eye disease) or simply el ojo (the eye). The act of giving someone mal de ojo is called ojear (literally to eye) in several South American countries.
* Swedish "det onda ögat" (the evil eye)
* Tagalog "ohiya" or mata ng diablo (the devil's eye)
* Tamil "Dhrishti" or Kan dhristi (the eyes of evil looks)
* Turkish "Nazar" (stare) or "kem göz" (evil eye) or simply "göz" (eye)
* Urdu "buri nazar" or simply "nazar" ("bad gaze" or simply "gaze")
* Yiddish aynore or ahore (from Hebrew עין הרע cayin harac)

No matter your belief, the evil eye will be something you want to have!

Vintage Boxed Metal Cookie Cutters Party Crafting Felting

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:25:08 -0400

$8.99
I love to use cookie cutters as templates for needle felting 2D items for craft projects. This cute little metal set works quite nicely. I found a duplicate set at an estate sale and picked them up to pass onto you!

All cutters are in good/used condition with some minor scratching, flour dust, marks, normal wear & tear-nothing that stops them from being used as manufactured.
Box is in o.k./used condition with marks, scrapes, loss of ink, grease spot(s), marker smudges-nothing that effects it's usefulness or how it works.

12 uniquely designed cutters come as 4 leaf clover, man with sack (Santa), reindeer, rabbit, tree, fish, angel, tomahawk, heart, star, lamb, turkey.

These cutters are a little smaller than the modern day cookie cutters and range from 1.25" to 3.25" in length.

Thanks for looking!
