Here on the vast, dry plain, I must be on the lookout for those elusive creatures, those terrifyingly swift and speedy monsters that, left unchecked, could and would wreck havoc on us all. Never fear however, Miss Pia, your personal Bug Hunter is here!

Slowly, I approach a popular feeding ground and spot….a behemoth! OMC! The wings on the thing! A mere flutter and a typhoon surely is birthed on the other side of the globe. I must protect us all! Dare I whap it? Carefully, carefully…

It takes flight! Oh, the humanity! World, I have failed you!

Mom: Pia, it’s just a teensy gnat.

You win this time, teensy gnat. Until next time, I’m keeping my eye on you and your bigger brothers outside!

Shopping.

Posted on April 12, 2013 by colehauscats

Just when Quint was about to run out of paint, a unique opportunity arose that allowed him to go shopping! Thanks, Craft Warehouse!

A stop at a colorful flower section. Spring/Summer inspiration, perhaps?

Naturally, he wanted to browse through the art paper selections…

…and the brushes and paint knives. He’s reading the fine print on a beautiful set of brushes made with synthetic squirrel fur!

Not terribly impressed, he averted his eyes when we passed the Paint-By-Number paint kits.

We could barely drag him away from the Matte section. So many choices!

Luckily for our wallets, he limited himself to just watercolor paint and a new pad of artist paper. He’s a good, cost-conscious boy that way. Thanks again to Craft Warehouse for allowing artist Quint to go shopping! Oh, and that clean-up needed in the yarn section? We swear we had NOTHING to do with it!
