I love ORANGE!

Fall is here (sorta...) and as promised, I made some new Halloween and Thanksgiving Felt Fuzzies!  Take a looksy...

Today, I have...

... a warm place to live and sleep, healthy children who are smart and smiling, clean clothes to wear, food in my stomach, clean water to drink, cool tunes to jam out to, talented hands, eyes to see the good and the bad, tears to shed for those I've lost, a heart full of love for those I still have, blank canvases to fill, bolts of fabric to touch, electricity, a toilet that flushes, a 4.0 GPA, neighbors who are quiet, rain to water my plants, and brave police officers, firefighters, medical workers, and troops who risk their lives every day so that my family and I can enjoy ours.

Tomorrow, I could lose them all. Or I could be blessed some more. Only God knows. But today, I *have*.

I started out this morning ready to feel sorry for myself because this year hasn't exactly been what anyone would call "stellar."  I made the active decision to write this post instead.  And do you know what?  I feel fantastic now!  Try it!

Love,

SANITY. Where art thou?

"And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit." ~ The Tick

Things are busy here in Feltopia, and that's a good thing.  However, this is just the beginning of our 'Craziest Time of the Year'.  In other words, the pebble has been dropped from the top of Mt. Christmas and building up to avalanche speed as I type.  So watch out  world, this year I'll be ready.   :D

P.S.  Memorable Quotes from "The Tick" (1994) can be found at IMDB.  Streaming episodes of the colorful live-action series starring Patrick Warburton are on hulu.com.

So very un-felty.

Sometimes... Fearless Leader (a.k.a., me) will stray away from the comfort of her beloved felt.  It's never my fault, of course.  Painting can be so therapeutic, incredibly seductive, and in all honesty... it keeps me from killing people.  So, hooray for paint!

Sometimes... out of guilt, I'll even paint felt - just to keep it from getting jealous.  o_O  But normally, I throw my soul (and acrylic) on canvas.  Lovely, lovely acrylics on lickably luscious canvas... ahem.

To keep the peace in Feltopia, my paintings are for sale.  (Peace, wall-space... whatever.) You can find my latest work in the Artwork section of the store.  I've even listed a couple of pieces from my private collection.  Check it...
