Fat Cats Go Down Alleys Eating Bread

HUH?  If anyone wasn't sure before, I'm thinking they're sure now that I'm a little wacko.   I do have a really boring explanation for the title of this post although I'm really tempted to be mysterious because it'd be way more fun.  The title of this post is a mnemonic device to help people remember the order of sharps in key signatures (F,C,G,D,A,E,B).  I made a doofy little sketch today as a visual reminder for the kids in music theory class. 

Many thanks to one of the kids' Garfield books for the cat.  :)

I actually spent a little time in the studio today sketching and painting.  I am pretty rusty because I haven't been drawing much lately but it was fun anyway.  I always forget how much I enjoy it and spend weeks away from my sketchbook.  Anyway, today I decided to practice trying to draw stuff up close and fill the frames I'd laid out.

Can you tell what they all are?

Too cute!

The top left looks like a nail head, top right...uh..slices of ham?....middle left some electronic thing like a hair dryer...middle right is a pinecone....bottom left, maybe marbles or beads, bottom right is the top of a key.
I know I got one right...any others? :)

Top left is a rusty railroad spike, top right is a tin can (I know, I know, it doesn't look like it at all), middle left is my heat gun, middle right is a pine cone, bottom left is pens in a cup and bottom right is the top of a key. :) Good job Cindy! You win...ahhhh...something... :)

It took me a minute to remember the fcgdaeb thingy. I always thought the cats were eating bananas. I like the bread instead.
