I love the creative way crafters find ways to use stuff we may throw out.

Here are 10 loveable sock creatures that are all handmade with love. They all make use of that poor sock that has lost it’s partner.

What a great idea for a gift topper.

I came across this toy today at Yokiddo and thought it was cute, until I noticed that it was actually created to look like an animal that has been hit by a car.

With intestines and organs sewn on the outside of the toy, I couldn’t help but wonder who the target audience might be?

Certainly not the 7, 8,or 9 year old kid who has a pet schnauzer that he/she loves very much…

While it may seem funny to the developer, anyone who has had their pet hit by a car, may not find this humorous – no matter what age group they fit into.

*As a bonus – The toy comes complete with opaque plastic body bag to keep the maggots out and attached to its twitching toe is an identity bag giving details of its demise.*
