Internet blackout day is over, but we still need to stop SOPA. Yesterday I posted this to Twitter, but since we’re back up today, I’m sharing it here too!… [ KEEP READING ]

Dot says:  http://twitpic.com/q3z6a – How do you like this one (crafty octopus)? I was thinking of using it for a Dabbled tshirt

Rit says: LOVE the octopus.… [ KEEP READING ]

Rit says: LOVE the octopus. I would tattoo that on my body if it was more cthulu-ey :)

Rit says:  I’m thinking more preparing to devour the world than do some crafting ;)

Rit says:  I mean it’s not, “In his house in Ry’leh dead Cthulu waits making arts and crafts” :P

Dot says: well, @rit, how else does he pass the time? I mean I bet an elder god is a fabulous knitter!

Rit says:  that’s true. I bet he has tentacle sucker doilies or some kind of elder god mitten. And of course, his teddy bear Pookie.

So, I REALLY will do a Cthulhu for rit (sans knitting), but the knitting Cthulhu just had to be done first!

I think this image would make a great poster… What ya think?

PS, if you follow me on twitter, be sure to send me an @reply saying you’re from Dabbled so I will follow you back!

Love this little cephalopod wine bottle cover… isn’t he just too cute!? Even though cephalopod week is officially over, I had to do just one more to share this.

And since we’re tacking on another day to Cephalopod Week, I realized I’d been amiss in not linking to the king of all things tentacled, Cthulhu!… [ KEEP READING ]

And since we’re tacking on another day to Cephalopod Week, I realized I’d been amiss in not linking to the king of all things tentacled, Cthulhu! As you can see from the pics below, crafty Cthulhus (both cute and scary) abound!
