Amy Sedaris - Crafts for Poor People

Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People
By Amy Sedaris
Written by Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello

It just doesn't get any better than this.  I've  been a fan of Amy Sedaris forever!  And this new book is right up my alley.  As soon as I have an hour to run across town, I'll be picking up a copy at Barnes & Noble.  

According to her website:  "Demonstrating that crafting is one of life’s more pleasurable and constructive leisure activities, Sedaris shows that anyone with a couple of hours to kill and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite society of crafters."

She cracks me up!  Plus, her hysterical humor that pokes fun comes pretty close to real life at times.  I will certainly be sending her a Pattiewack Pompom Tool, lickety-split!

If you love Amy, you'll love the interview on ETSY where you can get a preview of the book, before you peel out of the driveway to grab a copy.

Lifetime Portrait

LifetimeTV.com certainly knows how to capture a personality, and that's what they did on my Portrait Page at the website! When Melissa Macron called to interview me, I knew that she was going to dig up more about me than I had shared with anyone else. I can't believe I told her how much I love the character Pee-Wee Herman. His humor and the fabulous set design for PeeWee's Playhouse just makes me giggle and think about creative ways to transform chairs and wigs and plants into completely unexpected art.

Oh, and Amy Sedaris cracks me up, too. She has the guts to take a handful of peanuts to David Letterman, and show him how easy it is to glue google eyes onto them. Jeeeez, crafting and gluing with David Letterman? How fun is that!

Anyways, if you are so inclined, you can go to my Lifetime Portrait page and read it all for yourself. Who knows what you'll learn about me and my crafty past.

Pee Wee, Amy, and Steve

You can’t have a design studio without inspiration. That’s an autographed pic of Pee Wee of Scott’s, a recipe from Amy Sedaris, and an autographed pic from Steve Martin. Mix them all with pompoms, googly eyes and some crayons, and let the crafting fun begin!

Amy & Me

Back on the Road! My buns are tired, but I'm not bored with my new Amy Sedaris book to keep us entertained. I found it used on Amazon.com for cheeeep, and boy, was it worth it. Too fun!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

It's a perfect day to cover yourself with icing and roll around in candy sprinkles, like Amy Sedaris. I hope you find time to "sprinkle" your day with sweet stuff and huggies and kissies from your fave person today.

Happy Valentine's Day!
