What I was planning on doing tonight: watching the lunar eclipse and then driving to buy some craft supplies. Unfortunately it was super cloudy all night where I live; couldn’t see the eclipse at all! And I had to take my car in for a service this morning so I spent most of the night getting to know my new pink Asus Eee PC:

I got this little micro laptop as a Valentine’s gift and boy am I in love with it. It weighs two pounds, has a seven inch screen, is sturdy and reliable and is just the perfect thing for me to take out to the neighborhood coffee shop to check email and work on my poetry. I’m slowly making my way through the Eee Users Wiki and I can’t wait to really settle in with it.

I didn’t draw anything today, but I did sew my first stuffed toy for sale on etsy! I slapped together this flyer with photos and my shop banner. Shameless self promotion indeed

I make sock toys, it’s what I “do” for my pseudo job. So today’s thing is one of my sock tooth Fairy Pillows. It has a felt pocket oh the back to hold the tooth and then the $$$ after the Fairy has made her rounds. These aren’t my biggest sellers but they are one of the most fun designs I make because I can do whatever funky combinations of colors and patterns and faces. And they whip up super fast.
