“In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.”
And of course, a special mention: Disappointing Monsters, a webcomic with a recurring Cthulhu who’s “a bit of a dick”.

Dark Craft: Cross-Stitch Edition
I found out that Heaven and Earth Designs is having a Father’s Day pattern sale. (For Father’s Day? Really? Whatever, I like bargains.) These folks publish some of the most intricate cross-stitch patterns I’ve ever seen, and once Marilyn Monroe is finished I’m itching to try one of these.
They’re beautiful patterns but for the most part they tend to be a little…pastel.
Lucky for those of us with darker tastes, I had some free time (and some obsessive tendencies). I waded in to the depths and found these:
“Sifter”
“Grove”
“Wrath”
I am completely in love with “Grove”, but C informs me that while I am free to stitch anything I want, I am not allowed to hang it anywhere that she can look at him.
(As always, click the pics if you want to purchase one. And check out HAED’s gallery of finished pieces to see why I’m so excited to try one of these.)
Day of the Dead Cross-Stitch
Growing up, Sundays were always a quiet day. There was nothing good on tv, so I had to come up with other means to entertain myself. (Adult-me is grateful for that. Kid-me, not so much.) Reading, writing, and drawing filled my afternoons. Even now, Sunday just seems…slower. Calmer. Sundays make me want to hang around the house in comfortable clothes doing something relaxing.
Like crafting.
Which lead me to this:
Modern Cross Stitch Kit ‘Absolution’ By Carissa Rose.
Ugh, she’s stunning. She will be mine.
There are others, just as beautiful, in the same Etsy shop.
