I’ve taken a very unintentional hiatus from this site. I’m sorry to just leave you hanging in such a way that you may wonder if I was ever coming back.
Fear not my friends. I am here. CRAZY busy, but I am here.
Since Thursday night, life’s been a complete whirlwind for me. Through a couple of silly childish IM’s and fits of laughter and tears, Craftastrophe was born. I’ve been working practically day and night behind the scenes along side my wonderful teammates Karen Sugarpants and Double Agent Girl writing post after post of the most amazingly craptacular stuff. It’s seriously too easy. Who knew there was such a gold mine of this stuff out there?
Next mission will be to do reconassance missions at craft fairs. Seriously. I will.
Camera in hand, I will be stalking the craft fairs, bazaars and garage sales.
I never thought I would love crafts this much! It’s become an obsession overnight.
I have never really been a crafty person, like I mentioned, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate someone else’s hard work and lack of talent.
I crocheted a blanket once.
It was COMPLETELY crooked. Not so much crooked as is was just WRONG. Stitches were missing in some spots, too tight in others – and I only ever learned one stitch, which I believe I modified half way through the blanket and could never recover from.
I can’t even make an already-prepared-just-ice-the-shit-of-it gingerbread house. What can I say, I wasn’t blessed with the creativity gene.
Who knows, maybe Craftastrophe is just a whole pile of my own creations!? You’ll never know and I definitely won’t tell!
Are you crafty?
Do you like crafts?
If you’re not, what project made it clear to you that you just shouldn’t be doing this stuff?

Those crafts are awful. Horribly, amazingly, wonderfully awful. My favourite so far was the tampon Christmas tree ornament. Wow.

*whispering*
Don’t tell anyone – but I’m actually pretty crafty. I have made a christening gown for my daughter and a set of drapes, just to name a few things.
Shhhhhh….

I’m the opposite of a crafty girl, so I appreciate the details these crappy, I mean crafty, girls go to. I’m loving the blog so far – I’ve had it in my reader since last week.

I like to think I’m crafty, but have deifnlty had some craftastrophes.
I once saw this flowly shirt at Zara and thought I can totally make that. So I went out and bought some fabric and came home with to sew it with my sewing machine. I got a shirt at home and cut around it with my fabric. I started to sew and cut and sew and cut. After a bit I tried it on, but it was a little tight. THe worst was I couldn’t get it off, my husband had to cut if off me…..
That was a craftastrophe….

I am so amused! I do much better with crafts that tell me what to do – like needlepoint, coloring. I tried learning how to knit, and even the scarf came out filled with holes and pulls. Alas! Yet, I find comfort in your site!! Yay!!!

*Giggles* I am crafty but I’m not above laughing at the finds on your Craftastrophe blog. The bad crafts make the good ones look better. That reminds me of a Nietzsche quote, just not enough to actually dig it out of the cob-webbed matter that is my 35 year old brain…carry on.

Years ago, when I was a kid, I learned that I had absolutely zero talent for the crafty stuff. I had an amazing doll house kit, and I built the thing, painted it, wallpapered it with old sample books and did the same with the carpet. When I was done, the whole thing leaned and tilted and looked like ass. It was like I built a tenement. It was horrible. I never tried to do anything like that again. If I did, I’d totally be mocked on Craftastrophe!
