Baby Beefy and other creepy things....

My youngest is sixteen months old and like all toddlers enjoys eating cat food, playing with all my cooking utensils and playing poltergiest. Yes, I said poltergiest. He goes into his brother's rooms and turns on their tv's - pressing all the buttons and laughing his butt off at the snowy screen. I imagine a conversation....
TV ghosts: Hello little one!
Beefy: Whut  up!
TV ghosts: He's touching the screen - grab him!
Beefy: Do you have food?
TV ghosts: AH!!! I threw my back out! He's too heavy, where's that skinny kid?
Beefy settles for licking the screen then walking away.

Whoa! Don't trip!

Okay, so we didn't epically fail at our craft fair but we learned a lot of things. I was disappointed at first, but my sister and I did decide to do this at the last minute. I did sell one painting and got a commission for another involving mummies. We are wanting our stuff to be more mainstream and we got a lot of looks at our crafts. Most importantly we got feedback on what people like and then we discussed what would do well.
I've been inspired to venture into a new area for me - dolls. I am infatuated with a few I've been looking at these past few days and will have to experiment to come up with my style of doll. I did come across some creepy shit while coming up for that perfect idea. My god what the hell are people thinking? Okay, I know what they're thinking, I love creepy stuff to, but man, the ones I saw look like nightmares. I just hope our first steps into this area doesn't trip us and we end up skidding on face first.

On another note, so excited for Larry! The book is doing well - I've been getting a lot of good feedback. I even found out that a teacher was using it for her class! Amazing! If you'd like your free copy of Larry Jones and His Lying Bones, go to this link :  Larry Jones and His Lying Bones
