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!

CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH!!
THE THEME: FABRIC CHALLENGE
I think I gasped out loud when I saw this fabric at the thrift store. I mean, sure it’s fun fur. But it’s SHERBET fun fur. STRIPED, SHERBET-COLOURED FUN FUR.
I mean, what could possibly possess someone to design this, let alone produce it?
oh, right. Drugs.
Anyway, I purchased it knowing it would be the most fabulous fabric challenge ever. Also, I’m mean.
The woman at the thrift store counter asked me what I was going to do with it, her tone of voice no different than if I’d been purchasing a bag of dead cockroaches. “I’m sending it to some friends!” I said brightly.
She replied, “Don’t like them much, do you?”
But I knew they’d be up for the challenge.
UNICORN!

YERMITS VS. ROBOTS: BATTLE OF INCOMPREHENSIBILY CUTE THINGS, OR MAYBE THINGS DRESSED AS OTHER THINGS WE DIDN’T REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT TO CALL IT.
This is week nine! The Theme: LIVING IN CANADA.
Did you know? I totally live in Canada. It’s like living in the United States, except that we have universal health care and we’re polite. ZING. Or like living in Britain, except their national hero is Dactor Who, and ours is David Suzuki.
Oh yeah, AND WE RIDE POLAR BEARS TO WORK. NO REALLY. IT’S TRUE.
Mine is named Horatio.
And no, we don’t all live in igloos. That’s just silly.
Here is Jenny Yermit’s totally Canadian entry:
Canadian to the core. Donuts! Hat! Mitts! Boots and shorts all year!
NEXT WEEK’S THEME: TBA

YERMITS VS. ROBOTS: BATTLE OF INCOMPREHENSIBILY CUTE THINGS, OR MAYBE THINGS DRESSED AS OTHER THINGS WE DIDN’T REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT TO CALL IT.
This is week five. The Theme: Spinsters and Trollops.
I chose to go with: COUGAR BOT.
This is one of those bots where I know, I just know, that it’s something my mother is going to ask me to explain. As in “What’s a cougar?”.* I pre-emptively googled cougar, and mostly it’s just pictures of Demi Moore.
* If you don’t know what a cougar is, you should probably check out this link: THIS IS WHAT A COUGAR IS
Here is Jenny Yermit’ssuperbly fantastic entry:
Spinster by day, trollop by night!
NEXT WEEK’S THEME: POTATOES. I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING. IT IS POTATOES.

YERMITS VS. ROBOTS: BATTLE OF INCOMPREHENSIBILY CUTE THINGS, OR MAYBE THINGS DRESSED AS OTHER THINGS WE DIDN’T REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT TO CALL IT.
This is week four. The Theme: BATTLE READY.
I was a little worried when creating this that I might have gone too far. This robot is, after all, wearing the skin of its Yermit enemy into battle.* That’s… well, really taking this battle thing a bit far, yes? Robots. Their primary progamming is to be a jerk.
And, okay, I know. Ewoks as back-up? Ewoks are tiny. Tiny, and adorable. They are little, chirpy teddy bears. Probably, in imperial space, their pelts would be prized as moustache toupees for those with bald upper lips.
But damn! They can kick some stormtrooper butt. Using nothing but logs and vines. And okay. Stormtroopers are a special kind of stupid, let’s face it. But still. Ewoks. The are at the perfect level to hamstring their foes. Um. assuming that their foes are approximately stormtrooper height, of course.
And they’ve got the robot’s back. That’s gotta count for something.
*no Yermits were harmed in the making of this challenge.
Here is Jenny Yermit’sfantastic entry:
It is wearing robot guts. HILARIOUS. I love that we both went for the same concept. Also, clearly, we’re both deeply disturbed.
NEXT WEEK’S THEME: oh wait we haven’t decided yet. TO BE ANNOUNCED!

One would think that if you wore a red shirt, you’d look around the red shirt dorm in the starship, and at all your red shirt friends, and realize that there were a hell of a lot less of you than you started with. And then maybe you’d think “hey, it’s time for a new career!”.

I was all set to say that I’m a little afraid to mail this bot out because it might go missing in transit, but then I read the Amelia Earhart Wikipedia entry. And then I realized that she was actually totally kick-ass and amazing, and that a joke about her disappearance is actually kinda lame. And unfortunate. And probably not very funny.
Poop jokes are still fine though, right?

Today is Victoria Day up here in Canada, but I wanted to celebrate my favourite Queen instead.
That’s right, the rock band.
WAYS IN WHICH QUEEN IS DIFFERENT THAN THE QUEEN:
1. less corgis
2. more sparkles
3. better outfits
4. less imperialism
5. more chest hair
