The long, LONG journey to make the perfect bacon Felt Fuzzi has come to a close. Out of the many felt disasters that didn’t look a thing like bacon, comes this simple, majestic masterpiece:

TAAAAA DAAAAAAAAA!!!

And yes, that is a new Egg design. The yolk is padded for a more realistic sunny side up look. The bacon to egg ratio is 1:1 – we’re not breaking up the set… for now. It would be sacrilegious. It’s B & E, not just B. Enjoy these in your hair or on your shirt, but for the love of your digestive tract don’t eat it!

You knew this was coming…

And of course I had to oblige.

I am currently selling these uber-cute creations as a set and only with the snap clips, pins, and magnets as backing options. That will change as soon as the other photos are site-ready. Then you’ll have the option of only buying a left or right mitten and of course get them on alligator clips or French barrettes. Who knows, I may get really crazy and add a whole rainbow of colors to choose from. Whoa. Yeah, sometimes there’s no stopping the madness once it starts.

Cheers!

I saw a chem-trail plane this morning but couldn’t get to my camera in time… I must say one thing for the guys spraying the skies over Plano, TX (with God knows what) – kudos on the creative trail patterns. I like the argyle patterns you make here better than Vegas’ boring straight lines (see video). As a crafter, I’m all for creativity – I’ll remember your pretty patterns when the tumors start to develop and my children can’t breathe. *_*

My (conspiracy ) theory is that someone is trying to manipulate the weather and/or slow down global warming. The German government has already announced publically that they are spraying their skies with “harmless” bits of dirt and other stuff as part of ongoing wargame exercises. The chemicals sprayed are supposed to trick any ground radar facilities. They also admitted that they had manipulated weather satellite images to keep it from the public. Well, I guess if the Germans are doing it… our government might be practicing their wargames, too. Darn, I was hoping for weather manipulation – preferably with a mad scientist who has hair issues and a secret lair.

What I really prefer over chemically induced migraines are Pop Tarts. I can’t eat them (bad, bad, processed, toxic, ick) but I remember them as being especially delicious in the Brown Sugar & Cinnamon variety. So what better way to satisfy my desire for Red No. 40 and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride goodness than to make them out of FELT… *sigh*

Yummy, felty goodness. The glass beads might bring up some digestive tract issues but it becomes unnoticeable once the brightly colored hairballs start to come up. Enjoy!

I’m going to go drink a cup of freshly ground coffee before my sarcasm and excessive eye-ball rolling turns me into my pre-teen son.

Love and kisses,

P.S. The book I’m currently reading, Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert, is NOT a self help book as the title implies. Yeah, I was bummed when I found out too – I’m all for self-help. It is however written by an amusing Harvard psychologist (wrap your brain around that oxymoron) and teaches you all about the human brain, why we do what we do, think the way we think, some other deep psychological insights, and all with a dose of intelligent humor. It gets technical in some places and I have yet to come across any fluffy rainbows or catchy feel-good phrases. It’s science, baby! So far, so good.

Bowl-o-Fuzzies! Lots of new one of a kind Felt Fuzzies hair clips starting at $0.99 (eBay auctions).

And in other news…

My new painting. I call it “Sea Serenade.” (more…)

The day of Love is upon us, also known as the Gimme Chocolate Covered Diamonds Day, or more commonly referred to as St. Valentine’s Day. I could regale you with the history of this holiday but a simple check of our Magic 8 Ball (Google) could do it for you much more quickly and factually.

It doesn’t have to be just for lovers though – it’s for anyone capable of accepting and giving L-O-V-E. Love of life, God, self, kids, puppies, Fuzzies, trees, dirt, pumpkins, (more…)

After years of experimenting with various Turtle to Cuteness ratios – coupled with many shakings of tiny fists and infected bites from non-cute snapping turtles – we are proud to present to you, Hammond the Sea Turtle. We didn’t just stop after (more…)

This gal has had an insane couple of days!  Lots to report and lots to brag about…

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,
+ann
