 So I took a moment off from cutting out wee hands and glueing them to my fingers by accident while trying to glue them to paper.  Ugh, I hate glue on my fingers.  Anyway, I took a break and hit the email just to see what's new.  Most of my long time friends are still doing email and yeah, blogs.  They don't tweet and only text when there's something short and sweet like a time or location commitment.  OK, I am digressing again.  Just the way I glue.  But I got a FAN LETTER, a gal who reads my blog and who I don't know, but she sent me this:

I am racing home to interrupt TY watching Fox News at high volume and tell him how sexy I am!  He'll respond with a fabulous expensive present   question about what's for dinner...during a commercial.  Sigh.

So, back to cutting and glueing.  I decided to rip up the Hand book that was never 'right' and combine it with the one I started the other day-  I'm building collages on pages from the good old standard 'Who's Who of American Women, 1970'  I only have 1300 pages to rip out, so this could be quite a long book.  So, back to work.  I only have so long to live and so much to use up.

A few leetle things before I check out~

Brilliant idea, a Shoepreme, a shoe company supplies air fresheners in the shape of SHOES.

Fancy sneaker shoes.

Wowie, gold and silver shoelaces!  Be still my heart.

A False product offering the birds in your back yard everything they need from cradle to egg. While earlier experiments with stitched bread were entirely frivolous (Embroidered Wonder Bread) or purely aesthetic (Boro Bread), the Avian Life Support System is marvelously utilitarian.  Each slice of hand-stitched bread depicts either a specific North American bird species, as with the Red-winged Blackbird above, or evocative nature environments, as with the California wildflowers below. The base is organic, whole grain, high-fiber bread and the embroidery floss is 100% cotton. Each slice incorporates a loop at the top for ease of hanging. Here is how the Total Avian Life Support System works: Hang your Total Avian Life Support System (TALSS) from the limb of a tree, well out of reach of predators. Over time, birds will come and peck at the bread, absorbing its nutritional value, until they eventually consume all edible components of the TALSS. What remains are colorful strands of embroidery thread hanging from the branch. Now the birds may swoop in, snatch the soft cotton strands in their beaks, carry them away, and use the strands to line their nests, nurturing the next generation.

 When blank the bag looks utterly stylish with a nylon web strap secured to the sides with D-rings. A loop on the lower front contains a piece of chalk that may be slipped out of the loop and used to scrawl words or pictures on the bag when inspiration strikes.  Come to think of it, this is the perfect bag to bring to a protest march.  Above, the vinyl version with it's own little tube to hold the chalk.  below the DIY versiln with a plain old canvas bag and some chalkboard paint.  Have fun, kittens.
