Yes, it’s a uterus.

I’ve officially been flaked on, and it sucks! I sent an awesome package all the way to Leeds for the Rockabilly Swap on craftster.org, and I got zip from my partner. Anyway, (arrgh!) I also included a little extra surprise that I wished I had kept. My partner is trying to have a baby and wants to make a fertility shrine, so I made her a womb from knitty.com. It really gave me a hard time since I used ribbon yarn that wasn’t so forgiving. My fingers were cramped for days! He turned out pretty cute though. I called it my “Happy Uterus.”

here are some pics of the other stuff I sent:

Goth Kids Swap

Is it disturbing that it was fun to create creepy gothic stuff for a toddler? Is it more disturbing that Devil’s Rejects was a 4 year old’s favorite movie? Hell yeah! That’s why I joined this swap! Here’s what I made for a cute 4 year old girl who loves koi fish, Disney princesses, zombies, and the Devil’s Rejects. My Goth Kids Swap package had a a bedtime theme.
