Welcome to Editor Pat's Funhouse!!!
A place to enjoy the random, weird, goofy and kool.
Editor Pat's sewing machine.
Yes, this is my sewing machine, shutup and get over it. I bought the table at
a flea market, thinking it was a writing desk or night stand. The seller and i
unfolded the top and found this sewing machine suspended in there. It's a
Singer Fashion Mate 362, probably around 30 years old. I don't know if it
works cos it uses a kind of power cord that i don't have. I'd be afraid to sew
with it anyway, these things can be dangerous. I'll just unbolt it from the table
and keep it somewhere, because it's really too heavy to leave inside the
table, and keeping it setup as it is in the picture doesn't make sense
because i don't sew! Unless it could be a conversation piece or my new
best friend? Do you think chicks would be impressed that i have a sewing
machine? I don't know, but i do, and i like it!
Buying artwork from Misti Rainwater-Lites on ebay.
You do see that ebay is a minor theme of this issue, hey? I bought this
original, framed and signed mixed media collage from Misti for $4.99. I
was the only bidder cos i've got the artistic eye and most people don't
know what's good. In case you didn't know, Misti is a super-talented
underground writer and artist. She and her husband had a kid recently so
her ebay store is an ebullient mix of books, artwork, knicknacks, clothes,
jewelry and baby stuff like toys, bottles, even Similac! This collage is
hanging on my bedroom wall right now. The only thing i don't like is that
she smudged her signature practically off. Dude, go on ebay and get a
better pen!
My brother-in-law's lame gingerbread house.
My sister recently dragged her husband to a gingerbread house
building class. He's an awesome guy but look how weak this house
is. There should be frosting and gummy sugar snacks all over that
thing. Last time i made a gingerbread house was in fifth grade, but
even then i didn't mess around. I don't think a diabetic would eat
this house, let alone a kid. And what's up with the jellybean
barricade up front? Hahaha.
Purple frog, all in my brain!
When i saw this pic online i thought it was a turtle that had lost his
shell. But then the head's wrong for a turtle. Turns out this thing is a
purple frog, and for some reason it has a different face than other
species of frog. Almost as if a mole mated with an amphibian,
which is probably what happened. Ah, nature can be so perverted.
Anyway this purple frog looks harmless enough, so why not?
