Etsy is a great site for unique gifts. You can put the fake eyeballs in the freezer and use them as ice cubes, yelling "There's an eyeball in my highball!" at your friends. What fun!

Back in the day, we made good with the Oriental Trading Company catalogue.

the term "felted eyeballs" is glorious! I may have to make them... oh oh! and then! I can work up a business card that says purveyor of felted eyeballs! and then! maybe w.w. green will decide I am as cute as I think I am and everything will be ribbons & sparkles once more!

I'll take a knit, life-size replica of myself that will take care of my work etc. so that I can just obsessively comment here.

Be sure to knit his abs totally ripped.

Felted eyeballs? I'm sorry, am I missing some joke here? Or is that like, an actual item in the world?

This is a great idea. A friend of mine has a completely white plaster deer's head with antlers which I have always coveted. She got it in some little boutique in Brooklyn and I have never been able to find one.

Now that I write it down, it sounds completely wackadoo, but I promise it's very chic.

this is why the creative underclass must die. right after they fufill my order for some new mittens.

I'll be honest with you guys. I need a time machine, and I need it quickly. I'm willing to pay top dollar ($500), so don't skimp on the mahogany.

I want one a 'em wackadoo things what Miss Mary's gotten.

I could use a flamethrower, a case of temporary synesthesia, and a guinea pig yurt.

And I'll take some crocheted oxycotin.

I'm actually in the process of making someone (who works for Etsy) a beard cozy through Alchemy. Wheee!

@SylviaPlathWasFramed: Apartment Therapy are onto us! I just googled for a picture to show you, and found this one they made themselves: [www.apartmenttherapy.com]

So, that Al Sharpton love doll - it is old tracksuit-wearing Al or current suit-wearing Al?

I would like a 3/4-sized sculpture of Ted Nugent made of blue cheese with an electric blue feather loin cloth and a 1:200 scale model of Minas Tirith made from legos.

@Mary Mouse: this? [www.welldressedhome.com]
I got one on ebay for $20.

@hamburgerhotdog: PRECISELY. My undying gratitude to you.

I want someone to make me one of these: [www.customcreaturetaxidermy.com]
but out of a socialite's lap dog.

@hamburgerhotdog: PS - Didn't you say recently that you'd been abused on Gawker? If so, I take back anything cruel I may have said. You're super helpful!

I discovered Etsy through Flickr, and I gotta say, when you're in the need for an artsy-craftsy cuteness attack (and if you're on the internet, YOU TOTALLY DO, DON'T LIE), Etsy delivers.

For example: [www.flickr.com]

Swoon!

One macrame Kyle MacLachlan, please.

I got a custom-made felt taxidermy of a doe on Etsy. I love it.
