"Beer Mug Toilet Tissue Cover"


Gorgeous.  Just the thing to plop on your toilet tank.  So much more attractive than an uncovered roll of toilet tissue would be, don't you think?  Coordinates so well with all the other alcohol-themed decorations in your average powder room.  (Maybe it's meant for the restrooms in a bar.)

(I happen not to drink beer, really, so can someone please explain to me why there appears to be a leaf sticking out of the foam...?)

Cornucopia

Just in case you thought crocheted and knitted food was purely a recent phenomenon:


Nope.  They've been floating around out there since at least 1981.

Cookie Potholder (???)

Making cute, food-themed potholders is easier than you think!

For example, to make a great "cookie" hot pad, just start with a creamy beige base and add scraps of whatever colors you have on hand to make the "chips":

The brown, I get.  Chocolate chips, right?  But what's up with the pink and swirly ones? 

...Wait. 

Are we sure this is a cookie?  Because I'm beginning to think it might be a patch of diseased, poxed skin... (Hrm.  Hope you didn't happen to be eating a chocolate chip cookie while reading this...)

A Case of the Munchies

Though they don't focus entirely on yarn, there's a fair bit of crochet and knit in the archives over at The Fashion Police, which is where I found this very. . . unique dress fashioned after a hamburger.  (Well, technically, I guess it's a cheeseburger. . .)



The same designer behind the cheeseburger dress, Joy Kampia O'Shell, has also created other unusual food-themed items for wear, including this donut necklace:


Crocheted junk food to wear?  Who am I to judge?

(Especially since I may or may not sell food-themed jewelry online. . .)
