I’ve become so frustrated with my obsession with food and weight, that even Crabby McSlacker at Cranky Fitness agreed that I should move on to more productive obsessions - so, I decided that I should paint (again). I did actually start a new painting, that’s coming along quite nicely overall, but is currently going through an “ugly” stage - as most of my paintings do. But, being a capitalist by nature; inspired by Paula - Queen of the Surf Pirates and Sammy Stuff; and encouraged by Emperor Anton - Pixelhead - I felt emboldened to open a Fat Lady Art Shop at Cafe Press. Very cool site, by the way.
I created T-shirts, cards and an assortment of unnecessary items that tend to clutter a house - all displaying a variety of my paintings that I have in digital format. If your house is going to be cluttered up - as mine usually is - why not at least have some art on the clutter.
Now, when Christmas rolls around - I can get teacher gifts with Fat Lady Art!

Definitely take time to enjoy your hobbies!
Lizzie these are great… want me to feature some in my art section?
That would be fabulous!!!
Thanks
BTW since we are speaking of shameless plugs, here is a shameless plug for my recent challenge over on my blog. Swing on by.
That is just awesome!
You really should promote yourself!!!! You’re terrific and so is your art.
My daughter and I have taken up quilling. I can’t wait to start creating and teaching her. For now I just plan on doing small projects mostly for scapbooking (we have tons of photos that need to be organized into books), and hopefully a few small Christmas items to give as gifts and add to package wrappings and xmas trees. But I have big plans for some larger projects too, once I have some time. (Link to my brand new spiffy quilling blog is in the side bar over on Shrinking Ladies - no art work yet, but will post photos when we some done.)
Art and music feed the soul and that is just as important as healthy food. (ooooh I think that will be my topic for the Sunday Wisdom sermon hehehe)
Health and Happiness, Lady Rose
So where is this weeks update?
Cool art you have there. Believe it or not, it will help you lose weight. It keeps your mind off of the eating. I used to be into art so much, reading this makes me want to get back into it. I think i will. THX
I wonder if you could sell your stuff to health clubs?? Maybe put them in women’s locker rooms for motivation?
Awww, I love Crabby! I did a guest post for her once about the uber lameness of the might-as-well-be-sawdust cookie diet. (not shamelessly plugging myself, more like shamelessly reliving a fond memory). Wait, I was saying…?
I found your blog via Cort but I’m enjoying reading through it - I like how you combine your own art with your posts.
Interesting point - but I am not sure that really explains the situation. With gas over $4 a gallon that changes everything.
