I’m used to working according to specs (arch.), and as in this weekly challenge (sew a pillow) there were no specs about the size, material, or purpose… I actually SEW A PILLOW; a little plasticine pillow for a little cute kitty, but it is a pillow after all!
Hope I was convincing and this pillow counts for the challenge, but if it doesn’t…I won’t be so disappointed because I really enjoyed sewing it! (By the way, sewing plasticine is creepy!)

The challenge on Monday Artday this week is "retro".
I love old television shows. Mostly, I love shows from the late 1950s through the 1970s. Shows like Leave It To Beaver, The Andy Griffith Show, The Munsters and many others. These were true situation comedies. Totally unreal, far-fetched and implausible. These shows usually depicted perfect families faced with a horrible crisis, like Beaver losing his baseball glove or Opie knocking a bird's nest from a tree. After a while, these simple shows made way for more realistic sitcoms, like All in the Family, and M*A*S*H, leaving their cast to try to shake typecasting or to fade into TV oblivion.
Of all of these shows, the best example of a true "retro" sitcom was The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. It presented the wholesome adventures of a teenager and his family and friends. Dobie's main concern was girls, especially Thalia Menninger. Dobie's best friend was beatnik Maynard G. Krebs and his rival for Thalia's affections was Milton Armitage. And there was Zelda Gilroy, for whom Dobie was "the living end". A happy little TV world. A far cry from the reality of the assasination of President Kennedy, Fidel Castro and the Cuban Missle Crisis and the impending war in Viet Nam. When the show ended its four-year run, its stars entered a real life of which their characters could never have dreamed.
Dwayne (Dobie) Hickman beacme a high-ranking programming executive at CBS. Bob (Maynard) Denver was stranded on an uncharted island off the coast of Hawaii for 3 seasons, until he became a radio DJ in West Virginia, where he smoked a lot of marijuana. Warren (Milton) Beatty slept with every woman in Hollywood (except Shirley MacLaine), eventually settling on Annette Bening. Tuesday (Thalia) Weld became the covergirl for Matthew Sweet's awesome album "Girlfriend". Sheila (Zelda) James, who longed to have her unrequited love for Dobie reciprocated (eventhough anyone with a minimal sense of "gaydar" knew otherwise) was the first openly gay person elected to the California State Senate.

quick drawing during working time (postcard size, black & flourecent permanet markers - background details omitted)
I was just passing by and read about this week's challenge...EXCHANGE...so great...cos i didn't think i was gonna participate this week...just wanted to do some postcards and ATCs...and now i can do both...yupi!
Today i received my first postcard ever, it was from Emilia Yusof, I was so exited that i almost jumped of joy....but since i was at work...the little character did it for me (original colors are fluorescent...seem so poor after scan)
if anyone wants to exchange with me any postcards or ATCs just leave a comment or send me an email...(note: I'm in Lebanon)

I intercepted this page as it was going to be posted, and decided to post it anyways; but not before making clear that facts are exaggerated!
- I want to win but I’m not desperate about it
- I actually doodle at work, but it is just a way of relaxation!

+ The lower note is for those individuals, especially characters, who have problems in keeping secrets…
