live long and crochet

Stuck for ideas for your favourite geek/nerd/yarn bomber?

 

 

Search no more.

You can buy them the book, or you can knit it yourself!

 

Wouldnt they love some hand knitted hobbit socks complete with foot-hair?

Or a Princess Leia...um... I hesitate to call this a hat. Hairpiece? Toupe?

 

I dont remember Catwoman EVER wearing this though...

 

when only the best will do

 

Are you one of those people that loves to sing along with radio ads?!

 

Didn't think so.

 

But for those who are, here's a CD full of them.

Golden tunes like Happy Little Vegemite, Aeroplane Jelly, Benson and Hedges, Toyota - Oh What A Feeling, Nigger Boy Soap Pads (seriously), and Hard Yakka.

Surely you'll want this on repeat on a long car trip.

 

trash and treasure

Ever come across a book that was so bad, you weren't sure if it was meant to be a joke? Pommie Sarah did, and thought it needed sharing on this blog.

 

She was so right.

 

 

Here it is! UPCYCLING! Where you can 'create beautiful things with stuff you already have'!

 

For example. Collected many of those little hotel soaps...?

 

 

Make a necklace!

 

Bored of your conventional old geographical globe..?



Add some 3D realism with plastic animals!

 

Too many old pots and pans...?

 



Your visitors will love this right in the middle of your loungeroom.

 

Safety pins?

 

 

Like 'shiney embroidery'!

 

And I cant think of anything I'd rather do with old cushion stuffing,

 

 

...than suspend it above my head.

 

Also apparently, old art can be joujzed up with just a bit of glitter glue!

 

 

Holy Martha Stewart! If only museums knew art restoration was SO EASY!

 

But my favourite is the amount of time dedicated to those un-sung decorating gems - PLASTIC $2 HOBO BAGS.

 

 

 



sweet dreams. darling.

Hubby found this on Amazon.com (heaven knows what he was looking for!)

 

But with chapters like;

 

"Your upstairs neighbour kills people"

 

"I said not to touch that"

 

and

 

"No, it isn't just the wind",

 

it's sure to be a big hit with the littlies.

don't you hate that?

 

So relatable. Or is that just me...

judgement day

Look I have to draw your attention to www.judgeabook.blogspot.com.au for their outstanding contribution to the discovery of WTF books.

I mean with such gems as...

...you can see my argument here, right? I mean this is A1-quality weirdness. Bravo.

come up here and take a bow

awfullibrarybooks.net !!!

This is a truly worthy find! I mean, owl-headed naked women and breast balloons: What more could you ask for?

it's world breast feeding week!

There is SO much good information about breast feeding at your local library and ours always provides a safe, quiet place for Mums to nurse.

Check out your local library or BookTARDIS - there are so many good parenting and breast feeding books out there!

This probably is not one of them though.

What?! That's not...! I mean surely that can't be a real...? I don't even...

oh man - i hate "that" too!

Fellow Grammar Nazis rejoice! For we have found our "bible"!

it needs two exclamation points!!

Look, honestly, even if you aren't going to buys this (and I don't know how you could resist) go over to Amazon and just read the reviews.

They're the most entertaining thing about this book!

from the author who brought you....

... this literary gem, comes 

Just incase you're not ROFL-ing, here's a reminder of how incongruous this book really is.

amen.

god bless you, japan!

This one's been around a while, but just got given a copy of my very own and HAD to blog it!

Mostly they're ridiculous (*snort!*) but occasionally I think: "Hey...YEAH! That would be AWESOME!" :)

extreme frugality

No one's more respected in the world of home-cookery than the Country Women's Association. These are women who know how to be domestic, productive and frugal. The proof of which lies in their cookbook:

Why would I feature this as a 'wtf book'? Well, there's frugality, and there's...

And of course, there's the ever popular...

I don't even wanna know what's in the

Or the

Or

Eek O.o

But what's really bizarre is, if this was a book published in the depression.. in post-war ration days, it would make more sense. But no:

And therefore, I cant help but wonder how applicable some of these recipes will be to a modern audience...? Although with the cost of electricity and fuel going up and up... SO. Just in case: Here are some helpful hints:
