Never again would we be forced to gleefully execute a sweater of intarsia puppies.

Their archives contain lots of crafts in many different media, along with suggested skill levels so you can find the darkness that suits you best.

Defend yourself against demonic possession with this handy kit, at a very reasonable price. Includes such items as a purple prayer stole, a bright yellow door hanger with the legend “DO NOT ENTER — EXORCISM IN PROGRESS,” and a vomit bag. These guys have thought of everything.
