Give me a good smart-assed domain name suggestion for a craft-themed blog

Got a good smart-assed suggestion for a name for a craft-themed blog?
About a year ago The Girl and I started making things (see the link in my profile for details if you want details) that we sell at craft markets. It's been a fun project, if not the most profitable in the world. It's also been a source of a lot of good stories, and a learning experience about how certain markets in specific and all markets in general operate. Since it is 2006 we are obligated by UN resolution 36291^e to blog about it.
So I proposed we launch CraftShowAdventures.com to write about it. My Darling Girl pointed out that since we are not a pair of 13-year-old girls, perhaps that name was a little too precious. Her thinking was more along the lines of names like HolyCraft, LoadOfCraft, WhatCraft or something else with a snarky/ironic tone, as we are in fact rather snarky people.
I personally suspect that the largest audience for this kind of thing may tolerate our snark but not be drawn to it explicitly. I also don't care for those (and the first is taken) because I don't think they convey that it's a site about stories and tips. So I've grabbed CraftStories.com but I've not entirely given up on something more amusing and am willing to let it expire unused in favor of something funny. Hell, we could write one that's earnest and one snarky - I've got host space to spare.
But in order to do that, I need you. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pour the ocean of smart-ass that is MetaFilter into suggestions for an available domain name for smartassed stories about arts, crafts, and the sale thereof.
Whaddaya got?

Craft Punk. All fans of new-school French progressive dance music will get it, and if there is anyone that will appreciate snarky craft stories, it is fans of new-school French progressive dance music.

If you're going for the young Bust-y crafters and not the granny crafters, snarky is exactly what you want. My favorite so far is Craftmatic Adjustable Blog.

Craftastic? (your daughter might like this one, it's a little snarky :) )
HeartsNCrafts?
Oh, drat, I just checked whois, and both those are taken. Heartsandcrafts.com is "for sale", though they don't list a price.
Craftmacaroni? (available)
Hmm... if you're feeling negative, CraftBore?

Might not be any better than the one you have, but "craftertales.com" is available too.
"craftingbore.com" is similar to that last one up there, but perhaps the joke is a bit more obvious. :)

I spent four solid days trying to come up with a name for my craft site. I finally woke up one morning and I had it.
Click here for the name.
Might I recommend taking the name of one of your favorite songs and changing it to fit your purpose? That way, it's all you. There's too many craft sites out there with boring names.
