I once had this extra Cthulhu hat that was (supposed to be) the very last Cthulhu hat I’d ever make ever. Because I hated making them and they were like sucking the life and soul out of me and my sense of business success and no one wanted anything but those stupid Cthulhu hats and I had a problem with that. lol.
So I had this hat and I was like OH I’ll auction the last one off for charity, that will be nice. And then I went to get the hat, which had been sitting on top of a box in my sister’s basement where I kept half my sewing studio and all my crafty junk. And it had been sitting on this box for a few months. And one day I go to get it, IT’S GONE.
(Probably one of my nieces or nephews, but I chewed them out and they seemed innocent… I even offered them a considerable amount of money to fess up, and they still claimed innocence. So I’m pretty sure it just flapped its little cute wings and flew off.)
But I’d already started the auction online which forced me to make another one even though I never wanted to make another one ever again because they were a pain to make. And then I decided to be a nice person because around that same time a very nice customer and fan of mine emailed me asking for another Cthulhu hat because some jerk face stole his at the convention he bought it from me at. And so he wanted to order another one. And I made an exception for him and did it. Sweet kid.
So yeah. Disappearing Cthulhu hats and stolen ones too! I auctioned that last one off though and despite the cult following and bribes I still receive over two years later I have not made another one and I feel my life is better for it. They were a curse and I expelled them. The end.
