buck up buckaroo

Our cat gordon as been missing now for a week and a half, and I have been keeping myself and my mind so busy to not let it really set in that hes most likely gone for good. But now I cant keep myself from thinking about him. So there it is I am admitting my own defeat and caving in to it, but first step is admitting it right??

I know everyone out there is thinkin hes just a cat, but he sure wasnt just a cat. Skizm raised him and zelda since they were tiny kittens, lying infront of the closet picking them up ever so gently when he got out and would return them to the closet, he loves them. They both picked up alot of dog characteristics. Gordon.. he loves water ever since he was a baby he would jump into the shower with me and sit in the back and get completely soaked, he climbs into the sink as soon as i finish the dishes and sits under the stream of water trying to catch it going down the drain. Here some photos just so you can see how lovely of a man he is.

Feathers how I love feathers!

Here is the feather head sleeve I made for a gal named cherry who lives in CT I believe is where I sent it. Its gorgeous, i got to use to bluejay feathers my pal Doug collected for me. I tried fancing it up for her, I didnt leave any seams raw, I hemmed everything. I sure hope she loves it

today is the day

Today I got wonderfully brand new bright colored 100% organic cotton t shirts
I am thinking I am going to put a wolf on all of them, including a tag telling all about the situation on the mexican grey wolf, and what we can do to help them. I know its cheesy with you know "save the animals" and all but I DO want to save the animals.... and so should you!!

Anyway keep an eye on the shop for these lovely tees!

All caught up!

And time to start making some new things, out of yummy colors of felt!! I was thinking of little animals which consist of stuffing and sand to stand up. Also found a couple shirts with their top half cut off, which of course i snatched right away and printed on them, now I am constructing an amazing comfortable top and it gave me a wonderful idea including summerdresses and suspenders!

I have so many ideas, i need a book just to jot everything down as it pops up. Point is I have booked a showcase spot on the 26th and I really want to get a bunch of new stuff up before then. I just printed and dyed so many slips I need to do a photoshoot, hopefully pop out a couple of headbands before then too.. oh geez i need a nother me!

thinking about...

buying some fancy shirts from american apparel and selling them for a bit more on the shop, because well some people like those brand new fancier shirts to the recycled ones, also it will give me sizes and colors to choose from.. bad idea or good idea?

Finished my first custom order!

SO today I finally completely my very first custom order. 5 grey cardigans with matching wolf howling prints on the right side. I think they came out super great, they look so sharp. I am going to request a photo from the kids who are buying them of them all together with them on. I sure hope they fit them well, and they like them, and the print lasts a lifetime. I want to make a couple of little presents to throw into the package to show my appreciation for this opportunity they gave me. I had a real good time thinking it up for them and making it for them, I think it has become my most favorite print so far. SO just letting ya'll know I am totally up for doing things like this, if you got an idea you want in ink let me know and we'll see if I can whip it up for yah.

I am home and busy as ever!

So I got home on Saturday night. I had a real good time up there and I miss them all very much so already. While I was up there a gal bought a shirt from me, and the day I got home another gal bought a headband offa me. Also I need to finish printing those cardigans and get those photos up today. Also a birthday package I just remembered! SO all in all I have a whole lotta stuff to do and get sent out by tomorrow I hope to have them sent out. I am really trying to get things out surprisingly fast and I want to figure out a little free gift to throw into the package to show my appreciation for them taking interest in the stuff I make. No one knows how amazing it makes me feel to be doing all of this and people appreciating it enough to spend some money on it

After tomorrow, after I send out all these packages I am going to make a new screen!! wooo yay isn't that exciting?! You all will just love it! I am going to leave it a surprise until it is finished!
