Support your local starving artist, it's good for America!

This was forwarded to me by my genius father, who is very straight laced but sometimes he surprises me.  Aside from the hints of racism (which neither of us would ever endorse) this is very cute.

 

 

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program which I will explain using a question and answer format.......

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?

A. It is money that the Government will give to taxpayers

Q. Where will the Government get this money?

A. From taxpayers

Q. So the Government is giving me back me own money?

A. Only a smidgen

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?

A. The plan is you will use this money to buy a high definition flat screen TV thus stimulating the economy

Q. But isn't this stimulating the economy of China?

A. Shut up


Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at The Warehouse all the money will go to China

If you spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs

If you purchase a computer it will go to India

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to South East Asia, the Pacific or Australia

If you buy a car it will go to Japan or Europe

If you buy useless crap it will go to Taiwan

and none of this spending will help the economy

We need to keep the money here. You can spend it at garage sales, ball games, prostitutes, beer or tattoos

 

 

And I would have to add that you can spend it with a starving artist as well.  That would be lovely!  :)

Knockin it out of the park!

Uh... WOW!  Excellent!

Jacob's Stairs Quilt

For more details click on the photos.  Read the full blog post here.  I've started many quilts this year, this is one of the few finished ones.  Made in the "improv" style that is now popular in the quilt world, though i don't get what the fuss is all about.  The creative process is going to be improvisational, that's why it's so fun!  This one is using the invisible binding method developed by Melody Johnson that she calls "Escape Hatch Binding."  It was the first time I tried that so it was a learning curve.  I've started another quilt already and I'm enjoying myself, what can I say?!  Tomorrow to the yarn store to buy yarn and needles to knit myself some sockys!  That way I will have something new and interesting to do as I baby sit the Oasis gallery this week and take in a conference this weekend.
