Dead, Alive, or Undead?

Here's another of those mysterious plus-mark-eyed clowns:

I suppose this is a pot holder / hot pad... because it has a ring for hanging and is photographed next to a jug or kettle... But it looks more like a dishrag-- and one that has seen its share of use.

...Yuck.  A clown-shaped scrappy-looking thing like that could turn someone away from crochet for life.

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...)

Week of Clown Horror, Day 7

It's the last day of our Week of Clown Horror!  So, let me see. What do I have for you today...?

Ah, yes!  Here we go...:

It's a potholder (...or hot pad... I think...) that looks like a very angry, very DEAD clown... 

Just what you always wanted, huh?

...Oh, and if I were you, I wouldn't insult his lady-friend there.  I've heard that zombie clowns have wicked tempers.

Not PC

I don't know...
I might be wrong...
But...
I get the feeling that, these days, someone might be offended by these pot holders:

Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem "PC".
