Seeing DOTS and NOTS

Since my cream canvas couch would last about 30 minutes in my new studio/playroom, I decided to paint it and then give it a good scotch guard treatment. The couch is from Ikea and the canvas slipcover runs about $20 - so there wasn't much to lose....

So my slouchy white couchy went from this

To this!

I am currently working on pillows and a footstool to go with it.

my son calls it the Dots Couch.

Speaking of Dots

- I feel I must warn the candy consuming public about a particularly vile candy that is being sold in stores across the country.

First let me say, that I have a pretty high threshold for bad candy. I have been known to eat candy I found repulsive because it was the only candy around and I was jones'n for some sweets. This candy, however, would stay sealed in the box.......even if I was marooned on a desert island with it!
Firstly - the yogurt part of the dots is a weird flesh color - if you can get past that, the chemical after taste is about as far away from yogurt as you can get AND lingers for a looooong time!

I actually spat out the fifth one I tried (told you I had a pretty high tolerance) - the only way someone could eat these would be to nip off the candy colored end - which tastes like a regular dot.
Who came up with this??? Who tested this and thought 'yea - flesh colored yogurt dots - the next best seller!'???

Yogurt dots....Candy NOTS!
