CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH IS BACK!!
THE THEME: Forgetting Jasper
Trust my sisters in craft to come up with a mind-bendingly vague-yet-evocative theme to kickstart our reboot. I mean, forgetting Jasper. WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN.
From what I hear, Jasper’s an ass. You’re better off without him. And what do we do when we cut an ass out of our lives? We cut him out of our photos first:
But keep that half with you in it. You look super cute in that dress.

THE THEME: Sun Damage!
Being someone with skin so white it’s tranluscent, I am loathe to go outside in the summer and subject it to the sun’s rays. Other people tan, I just burn and turn white again. I can get a wicked sunburn just by thinking about sunshine.

On the plus side, you could always make fun of his teeny tiny… trench coat. Yes. Trench coat.

CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH!!
THE THEME: Clumsy crafter!
My sewing machine is a beast. No, truly, it is. It’s an industrial needle-feed sewing machine, which means it’s approximately the size, weight, and temperment of a menstruating elephant on caffiene pills.
I love her like no other.
That said, when I bought her, the repair guy I purchased her from gave me an item of advice that started thusly:
“WHEN you sew over your finger and GET THE NEEDLE IMBEDDED THROUGH THE BONE, stay calm and turn the wheel. Don’t pull!”
and ended with:
“and then get the the hospital. They might be able to save the finger if it hasn’t been crushed”
This kind of thing might turn some people off of using an item of machinery that CAN SEW THROUGH BONE, but it only made me love her more. It also made me super wary of her finger-eating power, so I’ve only had a few close calls and no finger loss (yet).
However, I am still a clumsy clumsy dumbass, so don’t be surprised if I end up in this situation:

What better brainpan covering for the majestic and slightly quizzical tapir to wear than the mighty (and, let’s face it, somewhat comic and deeply cool) fez?

CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH!!
THE THEME: Election!
It’s election day in Canada! That’s kinda the same as Hockey Night in Canada, except there is less flag waving and more standing in line. Same amount of drinking though!
This election is especially important because of who we currently have as Prime Minister.
That’s right, this man:
So remember, my friends, my readers, to vote AGAINST KITTEN EATING THIS ELECTION.
For this theme, there are two other competitors:
Yermits!

CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH!!
THE THEME: Pugs!
I know, I know. Pugs. So ugly they’re cute!
Pugs are my happy place. They snort, they snuff, they wear cute little costumes while cavorting in meadows and generally being adorable.
And yet, there is this photo. It should be pure win-sauce. I mean, it’s a pug, dressed as a unicorn. In a pumpkin patch. Sounds like win to me! And yet…. it kinda confuses me. What is this? I don’t even….
So weird pug photo, I salute you. You are the first result in google images when I search “Pug in Costume”, which means I see you on an almost daily basis. No lie.
For this theme, there are two other competitors:
Yermits!

Oh look! It’s a new blog post!
Sorry I’ve been AWOL these past two weeks, I’ve just been so very very tired. I’m sure that doesn’t sound like a very good excuse, but do you know what happens when you use an industrial sewing machine while deliriously tired? SOMETHING I WANT TO AVOID, that’s what happens. Those of you with a stronger stomach than I can google “sewing machine accidents”.
On the plus side, a lovely reader sent in these photos to brighten my day:
Major thanks to Emily for sending those in. And hey, if anyone else wants to send in some pics of their robot on adventure, PLEASE DO. I’ll post them up here and we’ll all bask in the awesomeness.

CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH!!
THE THEME: MIND CONTROL
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT BRAIN SLUGS. BRAIN SLUGS ARE GREAT. LET’S ALL WALK AROUND THE BRAIN SLUG PLANET NOT WEARING HELMETS. DID I MENTION I LOVE BRAIN SLUGS. BRAIN SLUGS ARE GREAT.
Here is a confession that will probably make all the nerds turn away in disgust: while I LOVE old futurama, it just hasn’t been the same since it came back. Much like a zombie!
And speaking of zombies, my first thought when this week’s theme was finialized was this: Zombie Ants! But let’s face it, GROSS. Also I don’t want to antagonize out new fungi overlords.
For this theme, there are three other competitors:
The Harpy!
Yermits!
Sarah Apple!
