The hottest 2020 accessory is the fly. Perched on your head, it will distract most everyone from listening to what you're actually saying, which could probably be to your benefit in some cases.You'll need:Black worsted weight yarn| CRAFTYisCOOL
I made this doll the afternoon that we got home from seeing Black Panther in the theater. When my family and I were leaving the movie, I remember thinking how utterly magnificent the whole world of Wakanda is, and how great it is that so many kids had this hero to look up to. We lost Chadwick Boseman too early. He's my exact age. He graduated high school the same year as me. Full disclosure: losses like this, especially due to cancer, really trigger my anxiety, which is focused on health issu...| CRAFTYisCOOL

Are foxes still trending? Whatever. They're super cute, trending or not. When I was little I always loved those stuffed animals that had a mother and babies, like puppies or kittens, that cuddled up next to the mom. Remember those?| CRAFTYisCOOL

You want to make the turkey on Thanksgiving but your mom always calls dibs? You feel like having leftovers but everyone always leaves just the dark meat? You want to make something totally impressive to take to dinner besides your green bean casserole? You're in the right place. Crocheted turkey keeps well, is shelf-stable, and is 100% vegan, assuming you use acrylic yarn!| CRAFTYisCOOL
Netflix has been putting out some awesome stuff for a while now. Kimmy Schmidt is one of my favorite shows, and there's Orange is the New Black, GLOW, Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, House of Cards, and of course Stranger Things! They're also making movies, and the new film Okja is sorta strange, heartwarming, sad, funny, and completely unique. There are big stars on screen and behind the scenes. It's like Free Willy for grownups. The super pig star of the show is a creature named...| CRAFTYisCOOL
When I was little there was a gift shop in my hometown that sold lots of little stuffed animals. They had some that turned inside out to turn into something else; I remember a caterpillar that turned into a butterfly, and some eggs that "hatched" into little birds. I loved those things! I made my own version, easy to crochet, that will be a perfect Easter springtime gift. | CRAFTYisCOOL
I've been collecting yarn for years and years and years. I have a hard time throwing away a color and usually, in my line of work (amigurumi) I will use just a little of this and a little of that. I'm really choosy about what color I want to use, so if I need a specific color I tend to buy a new ball of yarn instead of just using something close that I might already have. I've also been sent yarn from companies to try out, and I never want to get rid of free yarn! This has led to a giant stash!| CRAFTYisCOOL

I've gone on about my love of the "Girls" before, and I know how you all feel about them as well, so we won't waste much time recanting our favorite scenes, favorite Dorothy cut-downs, or Sophia one-liners. I could type for hours about funny memories I've had while watching Golden Girls or jokes my sisters and mom and I bring up on a weekly basis from the show ("..I've just been thrown out of an unauthorized Elvis-fan-club...

Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day. LOTS of rain here in Texas lately. Secretly I LOVE it, but warm days and buckets of rain just means swarms of mosquitoes, my sworn enemy. They love the flavor of my blood. | CRAFTYisCOOL
What Jacqueline Vorhees wants, Jacqueline Vorhees gets! When I made the cast of Kimmy Schmidt, Jane Krakowski loved them. I made her some dolls too, and she was awesome to take them to Late Night with Seth Meyers Monday night, along with an extra doll she asked me to make, a little Seth!| CRAFTYisCOOL

Well, I'm done! Kinda sorta done, I mean. I fulfilled my order, and that means done. A couple of years ago I made a full set of Doctor Who doctors with the TARDIS and the Doctors 1-11. The same client that ordered them asked me to make a set of Companions and Villains to go along with them. These are some fans, y'all, and I can't blame them. There are some really cool characters on Doctor Who so she named off all of her favorites and I went to work. I finished the dolls in time for Christmas ...| CRAFTYisCOOL
