Sorry the site was quiet for a bit. My mom died in July and I’m still getting my head wrapped around things. But the store is still active and I’m still shipping. I have a handful of Cthulhus which I’ll be listing this afternoon and tomorrow.

In the meantime, the Cthulhus I’ve sent into the world have been having some fantastic adventures. This one nearly got captured at GenCon by a ghostbuster (but he was rescued!):

And another has begun dominating his new household.

You can see many more pics of Cthulhus in their new homes here.

I first came across these two Lovecraftian videos by Bad Advice for Good Times a while ago, but when I was looking for a laugh this week I stumbled across them again and had to share. These are shorts spoofing cartoons with a strong Lovecraftian twist. Really, there’s not much more I can say—watch them below!

Elder Sign

The Necronomicon

Remember, there’s still time to enter the tiny crocheted Cthulhu, Cthulhu soap, and BathThulhu giveaway!

One of the best things about selling Cthulhus is seeing all the places they end up! While I’ve got a whole page of pics of Cthulhu at home, some people take it a step further and create their own Cthulhu stories.

When Emma, at Chronic Geek, got her Cthulhu in the mail, she took a whole series of shots having dinner with him and a few general escapades they went on.

The whole set can be found in here on Flickr.

The Cthulhu Chick store on Etsy is officially open and I’m going to be giving away one classic green tiny crocheted Cthulhu! The winner will also receive a Cthulhu bath set from Geek Soap including the new Cthulhu bath mitt!

Giveaway ends on Friday, July 9th 2010 at midnight, EDT. I will close the comments after that.

One Classic Cthulhu

This little guy is a dark, swampy green, with a soft texture and malice oozing from every pore.

BathThulhu Giveaway

To make the giveaway extra special, I purchased Cthulhu soap from Lesley at Geek Soap and she threw in the BathThulhu bath mitt to go with it. Soap and mitt pictured below:

Good luck!
