Nightmarish? That's just a bit too delicate.
um, totally creepy! I think my grandma had a very similar ornament.
wtf is a pajama bag?
I expect to see this exact same kind of story twenty years from now when the new generations discover some of what is hot in today's crafty world.
This is creepy?
I really don't see this as nightmarish or creepy. At least no more than any doll. It seems rather abstract and fanciful, if anything. Not saying I particularly _like_ the design, I've seen better, but it is is simply an easy to fabricate doll intended for non-professional home crafters. Are the stylized designs I've seen in Craft: magazine creepy as well?
#3 Indeed. Why the extraneous elf?
I don't know... this is just the kind of thing, like a toy robot, that as a kid, I could very easily imagine coming alive at night. You know... 'clown wants to eat me' . I think that sort of creepiness is convey by a lot of anthropomorphic ornamentation.
You are correct. This IS very creepy.
But I wonder why?
Is it because of the color? The shape?
I think that creepiness simply supervenes on this image.
Keep up the good work!

I'm pretty sure a pajama bag allowed one to store the pajamas intended for that night in a fun way, to look like a stuffed animal. Or to pack them for a trip, for a kids' sleepover? I think these are still pretty popular, no?

"And there’s the creepy doll
That always follows you
It’s got a ruined eye
That’s always open…
And there’s a creepy doll
That always follows you
It’s got a pretty mouth
To swallow you whole… "
"Mom! The pixie won't give my my pajama's back..."
Ugh... growing up, I always found Annalee dolls to be frightening. This looks like a demonic version of one of those things... :(
Oh, I know why it's creepy. It's Mister B Natural.
Sorry -- there's nothing cooler than a '50s pixie
