First, I got my 95 pounds-o-felt yesterday! Hooray! However, 'Hunky UPS Guy' failed to be the one to deliver it. Boo! No offense meant towards the UPS guy who did deliver it, of course. There ought to be a UPS Drivers' calender... hmmm, I'll be sure to mention it at our next Bored WAHM's meeting.
I nearly fainted at the sight of all this GORGEOUS felt. Three large, kid-sized cartons were stuffed almost to bursting point with this:
A feast for the eyes! Most of these colors have been nearly impossible to find and now they are discontinued. Lucky me, I stumbled upon an awesome eBay seller (quiltershusband) who went out of his way and really hooked this fabric junkie up.
In other news, my brilliant monkeys brought home their fabulous works of art from school yesterday. So what's a momma to do? Scan them and show them off, that's what! And because I think they are good enough to sell, I've uploaded some high-res pics of them to my CafePress shop to have them printed on lots of goodies. They now have their own section in my shop and the commissions earned from each sale will go directly into their respective college savings funds. Monkey 2 wants to go to MIT for goodness sakes! Monkey 1 is looking at either UT Austin or get this... Yale. *_* Either they bust their tails to earn full scholarships or I'd better win the lottery.
Here's my oldest son's work. He didn't have a name for it so I named it 'Abstract Cat'. Squint, tilt, lift your right arm... I promise there is a cat in there.
I absolutely loved his use of such fiery colors. This masterpiece was made with crayons. He usually gets frustrated by paint because he likes to put so much detail in his drawings which doesn't translate well when he uses brushes. He really enjoyed making this though so I'm hoping to encourage him to try painting abstract works on canvas.
And here is my little one's work. He calls it, 'Robot Cat'.

Can you believe how amazing it is? I was (and still am) very impressed and surprised when he showed this to me. He used mixed media (crayons, paint, and markers). I'm sending their art teacher a friggin' huge gift basket after seeing these two masterpieces.
Let's see, what else have I been up to... Besides wearing myself out writing HTML, CSS, and PHP & Java scripts for my various sites... listing tons of inventory in my eBay /Etsy / CafePress / KarmaBox stores... answering 90-150 emails a day... Fuzzing gobs of Fuzzies... drumming up Ron Paul support in my neighborhood... and writing this little ditty... I guess not much.
Okay, I'm going to take a nap while you buy some of my genius children's artwork.
Blessings,
