My friend Mike Enright is one of the curators for the Philadelphia Film Fest. Besides his animation work, he is a kick ass painter. Here's an interview with him and Michael Lerman. I don't know how they watch so many films in the selection process and not go blind after a while!

My pal Shannon Okey was interviewed on the show "Applause" which will be airing a few more times on the Northeast Ohio PBS stations. Or you can just watch the interview here about 12:20 minutes in. Ah, Boiler Room, that movie cracked me up. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had seen Wall Street first.

Oh yes, I'm a part-timer now at www.StitchCleveland.com, so come on by and say hi! I'll be helping with some web stuff along with putting my touch on some new products. Yay! Here's one of my favorite things in the store right now...

My pal Shannon Okey has a new book out now with co-author Alexandra Underhill called AlterNation. Christ, how many books has Shannon done now? She's a machine I tell you.

A pair of cowboy boots painted by me make an appearance, and on a total vanity note, I even model...without make-up or washed hair! Scary. I don't think lip balm counts as make-up does it? Anyways...

AlterNation is designed to teach even the novice sewer how to design their own clothes by transforming thrift store finds.

There's some super cute projects in it. A perfect gift for the stitchy/crafty chick in your life.

So yes, the $1 Monday art sale will be on tomorrow at 3pm EST.
I'll be putting up a whole bunch of things this time around, as I may be in the Swiss countryside of Ohio next week Monday...

In the meantime, have a look at some hand dyed yarn named after me.
