Craftiness is all the rage. Because of the recession, many people are making things at home. Soap, stationary, knitting, sewing, scrapbooking…there’s a whole lotta crafting going on. And, sites like Etsy, GetCrafty, and eBay are hugely popular for those seeking out handmade items.

But, not everything made by two hands is a winner. One of my favorite new Web sites is Regretsy. This site finds the absurd in the vast crop of crafted items on Etsy and asks the questions we’re all dying to know: Why?
