The Sitcom Cast
Welcome to Suzy’s Artsy Craftsy Sitcom! My name is Suzy Myers and I am the artist, crafter, writer and zookeeper around here! I live in Atlanta, GA, and have a background in fine art, graphic design and photography. I created the Sitcom in 2010 as a way to document new and original art and craft ideas. The Sitcom features arts, crafts and humor, with a specialty in vintage and recycled crafts; and currently hosts over 100 detailed original DIY and craft tutorials.
With over 10,000 loyal subscribers, the Sitcom is growing every day. I like to think that it is one of the best places to go on the web for original, one-of-a-kind arts and crafts. And easy on the budget too! I prefer to use household and recycled items such as toilet paper tubes and disposable cookie sheets for many of my most popular projects.
Some refer to me as the “Toilet Paper Queen“.
I guess there are worse things to be called. Really, there must be…
Are you new to the Sitcom? Be sure to check out my Frequently Asked Questions Page!
And there is the husband, who is the unwitting and often unwilling subject of plenty of posts. He doesn’t read them, but he knows I write about him. How can I help it when he is so entertaining? If he wasn’t so blog worthy, he certainly wouldn’t have this problem.
The oldest daughter. She is quite artsy-craftsy herself. She is my co-conspirator when it comes to Ukrainian eggs. She has her own method of design which differs quite a bit from mine, but are amazing to look at. She is currently living in Florida and probably creating some amazing crafty something as we speak.
The youngest daughter and her husband currently live with us as he is about to be deployed. They are at the socially active stage where we see more of their discarded flip flops and dirty clothes than we do of them. But we know they still live here because my hair dryer is always missing.
Faith- our twirling tazmanian devil of a dog. Due to the fact that she is half chihuahua, she perpetually has her panties in a wad.
And Ralph- our youngest fur-child, with a brand new set of teeth, who currently owes the youngest daughter two sets of flip flops and a pair of undies…
My sister, Lynda, the cook in the family. She got the cooking gene. I didn’t. So, I rely on her to supply my readers who have the need, some awesome tutorials on cooking and stuff. And I go to her house a lot to eat. Because somebody has to do it. Right?
So, there you have it. Like they always say, “Life is a Sitcom covered in glitter, hot glue strings, and dog hair”… isn’t it?
Also, be sure to check out my other website, Totally Green Crafts, for hundreds of recycled craft ideas!!

I love this! I’ve been on Pinterest today and came across just what I was looking for you! The cookie sheet mermaid sleeping I want to make it n to a book cover for my mermaid slash retreat. Weekend love the pattern thank u for this inspiration Maureen Gallagher va bch va
I found your site recently and really love it. You are witty and so much fun to read. Your tutorials are clear and easy to follow, just perfect for an older quilter like me.
I will come back often and hope you keep entertaining us.
Thank you

Oh, how I love your blog and look forward to each new one. But, I really would like to ask your advice on something. I am forever sending food to friends, neighbors, well, just to about everyone. The best way to send food in plastic, re-sealable containers. Do you have any idea how I could decorate them, the containers? It doesn’t matter to me if its a permanent or temporary design. Using cloth covers isn’t ideal, as they rarely come back. So, if you have any ideas, I will be a happy camper.
I would love your Windmills at Night quilt but am unable to download the pattern.

trying to find out how you did that quilled monarch butterfly I saw in a book somewhere

I just printed the directions for the lollipop romper or pink romper. What kind of yarn is required and what is the crochet hook in USA conversion? What is the metric crochet hook size 0 ?
Suzy,
I hope you can help. I saw your name in connection with a Lollipop Romper. It looked to be vintage though. I have the pattern, sort of, but there are parts that are missing in the instructions. The gal I have asked about it is the one that has a green, pink, and white
Lollipop Romper.
My question, do you have the original directions?
Thanks
Sally

Ha, ha, Suzy, your too funny. I thought our little dog was trouble at times, but calling your own little pet a Tasmanian devil dog – well I’m happier with mine already! I’ve just been sitting here laughing away at your writings. Yes, “Toilet Paper Queen”, what an awesome title (lol)! Hmm…if you changed your title to “Queen of the Rolls”, one might think “Rolls Royce”, Rolls of money”…but I don’t think you mind being associated with toilet paper in a creative way. After all, you have elevated the humble little “roll” into works of art! Well, I’m off to see your other crafts just now. This should be fun! : )
Hi Suzy!
I am now disabled, one of my issues being with my attention span and memory retention. (That’s from the medicine for what keeps me, for the most part, house- and bed-bound.) It can be quite difficult finding craft projects that are not too intricate for me to handle, but that also look REALLY good and, well, not “cheap”! So it is quite nice to find projects that won’t completely overwhelm me; your site seems right up my alley! Thank you again~ AND in advance! I can’t wait to start these!
Just found your site by looking for laundry lint paper, and I must say, THANK YOU! I’ve bookmarked a handful of projects already, but the faux punched tin is what is making my fingers itch!
Hi Suzy,
Loved your site. Your tutorials were so well documented. But since a few days, I click on the tutorials and cannot see any of them. I used to be able to see thumbnail pictures of about 79 of them. Is it now not accessible.
I am so sorry. I was doing some editing and messed up the code. Thank you for letting me know! All tutorials are back up!

Suzy,
I have recently discovered your site, and it is my FAVOURITE CRAFT SITE!!! I have
already made the faux wrought iron wall art, and I am currently doing the stained glass.
I have also found about 5 more of your project that I love, so I will be very busy!
You certainly are a very clever & imaginative lady – I salute you…
Dorothy
Just found your site. Should add smartsy/craftsy for your intellect, sense of humor, literacy and talent.
Hi,
I love your website but I’m really interested in the faux metal filigree frame but the link sends me to the faux metal wall art tutorial. I was wondering if there was a mishap in the link. I hope it can be fixed because I would love to make the metal filigree frame for my house!
Thanks,
Lindsay Burks
Hi Lindsay,
I recently migrated to Wordpress and I’m still fixing all links. You can find it at http://suzyssitcom.com/2011/02/feature-friday-faux-metal-filigree-frame-tutorial.html, or you can now get an easy link back to it on my tutorial page. Thanks so much for letting me know. Let me know how the project turns out!
