New Book!!!!

One of our very sweet customers, Holly, brought in some little stuffed animals to show mom. Mom told Holly how much I would love them, and so Holly went home and picked out one of her books on the subject and gave it to me!!!!! It's one of those Japanese craft books. There are some words in English on the cover and they say: Felt Mascots & Knick-Knacks. The directions are all in Japanese, but the diagrams make it easy. Here's a picture of it I found online:
I've decided that the reward I will give myself for finishing high school is to buy the supplies for these and make myself one. Aren't they cute???

HAHA!

I now have an etsy shop! I don't have anything listed in it(of course), but for future reference, that's where you might eventually be able to buy my stuff!

The Way You Look Tonight

Ah well......
I don't actually have any art to post at the moment. I need to make some ATCs. I miss trading. I've just got to figure out a system to make them fast. Not that they wouldn't be nice or anything, t just need a time effective system.
I'm sitting here while Brendan and Evan play Halo. They're supposed to be having team practice. They're only missing one team mate. So, I'm torturing them by listening to every old artist that I can think of. Currently it's Judy Garland. I've already gone throught Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. I really want to listen to some of the music from An American in Paris. Alas, it's one of the few things you can't find on myspace.

finished quilt top!

Yay! I actually finished something! This is a shop sample based on a pattern from the book Fat Quarter something or another. I'll have to get back to you on that one. It's from the "Playing in Spotzville" line by Jan Mullen for Marcus Brothers. I actually finished it awhile ago, but have been out of it for the last week. My friend Blake died last Thursday evening, and Friday morning they put my brother in juvy for 4-6(months).
