About Ed. of 100 Disclaimer Sales can affect the inventory and the shipping time for works. Please contact the seller to confirm availability of works. Felt artist Lucy Sparrow is one of the most exciting and original artists working in the UK today. Her practice is quirky yet subversive, luring the audience in with her soft, tactile, colorful felt creations before hitting them hard with her comment on subjects from the demise of the traditional high street to censorship in pornography. She took the art world by storm in Summer 2014 with the opening of her fully stocked felt Cornershop installation in London’s East End. With queues around the block and wall to wall media coverage, the installation was both a commercial and critical success. In 2016, the BBC commissioned Lucy to recreates the Crown Jewels in felt, to celebrate HRH The Queen’s official 90th birthday. In May 2017, Lucy undertook her first solo show in the US, opening The Convenience Store, a New York bodega stocked with 9,000 felted artworks. Scheduled to run for a month, the store was an instant hit, selling out in just over two weeks to a constant stream of art lovers, most of whom had queued for an hour to visit the store. The bodega dominated the NYC art scene, appearing in coverage everywhere from the New York Times to the massive TV screens on Times Square. December 2017 sees Lucy bringing the felt back to London as part of Selfridges ‘Gift for London’ Christmas campaign. The artist’s work has been shown in galleries from London to Los Angeles, and at international art fairs including Art Basel, Scope Miami and the New York Affordable Art Fair.

Saturday I went over to Hobby Lobby with the idea that I would look for some additional fall decorations, but instead came home with this. A framed Sweet Tea recipe, on sale, how could I resist? It is hanging in the breakfast room. After all, I drink iced tea all day long so it seems very appropriate! I rearranged the breakfast room table centerpiece ever so slightly. I love this room, but I want to paint the walls a creamy white and paint the paneled wainscoting too. While I am looking forward to it's completion, I am not looking forward to the task itself. There is a lot of painting I want done in the house. Here is my ~ Big To Do List The Breakfast Room The Kitchen The Hallway of One Wing of the House My Studio The Guest Bedroom The Laundry Room Yikes! That's a lot of painting. I want to repaint the living room walls too but maybe I will get a professional painter to do that since the ceiling is higher in that room and the room is just plain big. I'm still trying to decide on a wallpaper for the guest bath. I am going to have that done because I don't trust myself to do it. Especially after seeing this ... I love to watch I Love Lucy on the Hallmark Channel. Remember when Lucy and Ethel tried to hang wallpaper themselves in Lucy's bedroom? There is a good chance that with me hanging the paper, it may turn out like this ;-) Did I ever show you the gallery wall in my breakfast room? It will be so much better when I paint this wall a lighter color. It is always so dark in this room. I think I should talk to my electrician about installing recessed lighting too. There is only a chandelier in here now and it's attractive, but does not throw off that much light. It's cloudy here today too and that doesn't help when trying to take pics. It's been my experience that electricians hate to install recessed lighting in an older home. It means that one of them will have to crawl up into attic. Never one of their favorite things to do. I'll have to bake cookies to bribe them. Well that's all for now. David left me with a list of things to do today and so far I have only completed one task. Better hustle! Tweak It Tuesday I have to give Bentley a bath too. That is one huge task because he really hates baths and squirms all over the tub. I should be wearing a rain suit lol! Big Texas Hugs, Susan and Bentley

I Love Lucy helped make television matter. It’s one of the first beloved shows and the first classic sitcoms. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz weren’t just popular. They changed the TV landscape, including how sitcoms were shot and the use of reruns. While the show about the Cuban bandleader and his showbiz-starved goofball wife only ran for six seasons, in the old days of television, that meant 160 episodes. Since we enjoy ranking the top 25 episodes of beloved shows, we included I Love Lucy . Let’s travel back to the ‘50s and get to the ranking!
