I loved Kakariki’s post about the knitted poo a while ago, and immediately knew that it would be perfect for one of my friends. She has this amazing bizarre sense of humor and is one of very, very few I know who would use the phrase “my prettiest vomit” as if it’s a perfectly everyday thing to say. (The vomit was blueberry pie in snow, imagine the colour combinations…)
So she got these for her birthday this weekend:
She got one big poo, and one small. The big poo is filled with wheat grains, so if it gets a few minutes in the microwave it’ll be all nice and warm. The small one is stuffed with lavender, perfect for the linen cupboard!
And they’re both so easy to make, basically made of cylinders, with just a little shaping in the ends to get that special poo-feeling.
This one isn’t quite so fun…
As someone from Aotearoa living in Australia, I get really fired up when I see people back home with such blatant disregard for the future of our environment. Especially in the farming community who KNOW how hard it is for the farming community over here when it comes to water shortages.
I agree that it’s time for Fonterra to get serious about this issue. They obviously understand the importance of a clean environment for the future of their business. It’s about time they started giving the farmers some serious incentives to sort their shit out, so to speak.
People who know me know I get really amused by poo. Don’t ask me why. I don’t find farts anywhere near as funny. I’ve even been known to cross stitch a poo or two.
So check how cool this is

But wait there’s more. It’s full of pot pourri! How good is that?
It’s by knitter knitphomaniac. Sorry I can’t find the link to the original post. (props: Whip up).
So speaking of nice smelling things…
I have a wee product I’d like to share with you. I made these a little while ago and I’ve nearly sold them all. I might make some more, not sure yet…
So presenting, the Ninja Wardrobe Scenter!

Lavender-filled
Keep your clothes smelling nice
And protect them from pirates.

I really, like these. They’re heaps of fun to make, although my craft room stinks of lavender. Should I keep making these?
Unfortunately since these are full of lavender I can’t post them overseas so they’re exclusive to the Craft Cartel Market. If you really, really want one, you should be at Section 8 Bar on Monday night!
I have another similar item in the development stage at the mo, stay tuned.
