almost as amusing as "stuff on my cat"

This Timmie is moving to Michigan!

Bear button from Germany

about the size of a thumbnail. The shop owner wanted to sell it to me for $1.20 but they mispriced it for $ .90 on the box, which I still thought was too rich for my blood, so I only bought 1.

Edit: I just noticed the bear head looks just like my So Softies logo <- on the left

What? Not enough apple stuff on this blog?

from Target. I love the concept but the product quality is pretty crappy. But what should I expect for $1?

So fresh and so clean clean

Well maybe not fresh or clean but definitely more tidy. I organized my portfolio site a bit better last night. Currently it's a mish mash of painted stuff and digital "cute" stuff which totally don't go together stylistically but that is just how my brain functions right now. I have trouble choosing one over the other. What are your feelings about having one certain style? I think to have just one would be better for business...oh well.

Above is an image from my '04 sketchbook.

A sweet cabinet...

for the kiddies that appreciate French country. It's the hottest trend amongst the kids these days. Who needs a PlayStation when you can have an epicerie cabinet?!

what I learned today...

long titles make my side bar shift to the bottom of the screen! I couldnt figure out what was wrong at first! I thought my pictures were too big so I made some smaller, but it was one of the titles! good.to.know.

W.I.P.

My snobby looking lil' bear head.
I want to experiment using some fabric on this one for the belly. It's hard for me to plan my softies beforehand because somewhere along the line something always goes horribly wrong and I have to change my idea of what it's "supposed to be". So my advice is don't make many plans when you are creating softies and you will have much more fun!

Snap,CRACK-le, and POP

Is it just me or are Rice Krispy Treats highly,highly addictive?
