My first two posts of the A to Z Challenge were very middle-of-the-road, i.e., dull.
That's over now.
I want to give thanks to my very funny blog friend Amy at Banana Wheels for the inspiration for this post, especially since, when I saw the pin, I immediately sent it to her before I had even considered doing the Challenge. (If you would like to see the birth of the original Creepy Baby, and you really should do yourself a favor and do so, please read about it right here.)
Okay, so here's the pin:

Here's the problem with the pin: it's only a photo. No directions, although, really, how hard can it be to replicate?
I can tell you not hard AT ALL, but that's because I have the best daddy in the world and he helped me.
We bought the dolls at the thrift store:
 |
| The one on the right laughs. Maniacally. |
 |
| Feeling very much like a brain surgeon, I marked the heads and my dad tops with a Dremel. My husband texted this to my kids - they were appalled. |
 |
| Heads removed from bodies (we crossed from being brain surgeons to being Dr. Frankenstein). |
 |
| Upping the creep factor. |
 |
| Assembling the rest of the supplies. |
 |
| Kind of wishing I had put down some newspaper at this point. |
 |
| NAILED. IT. |
My husband said this was, technically, a Pinterest win, because it did turn out like the pin. However, he said it is NOT a win for the house, because he is completely creeped out by the whole thing.
You know what this means, don't you?
My herb garden will be expanding as soon as I make another trip to the thrift store....
