where am I?

I'm busy.
Etsy and other parts of my life have been on hold due to taking care of a puppy.
I'll be back after Wednesday.
But even then I'll be busy.
Busy cleaning.
Friends from Washington are coming to stay for a week VERY SOON.
So I'll be fading in and out of existence until May.






P.S - I'll miss this little guy

what's in a name...

So I was thinking the other day of band names.
I realized, there are a HELL OF A LOT of band names that have animals in them.
Or the word animal in them.
Don't know what I am talking about?

I'll name a few:
Animal collective
The animals
The super furry animals
Deerhoof
deerhunter
grizzly bear
minus the bear
panda bear
band of horses
cat power
Josie and the Pussycats
def leppard
dogs die in hot cars
that dog
snoop dog
modest mouse
porcupine tree
counting crows
the doves
The eels
white rabbits
echo and the bunnymen
unicorns

I know I missed some.

And to go with our animal theme, here is my dog's face.


And and to go along with our animals and names theme, the next dog I may or may not get, I want it to be male so I can name him, Marlon Brando.
I think it would be a great pet name, no?

forgetful places, forgetful faces

I realized that with pictures, I tend to neglect my cat.
Which is surprising, because she is such an easy model.
Plus my cat has an absolutely gorgeous orange coat.

If she was alive, she would act like a Hepburn.
So dignified and beautiful. Only with orange/redish hair.

lately she has been craving attention. She is usually never a lap cat, but lately she has been. Plus she has been greeting me every morning.
Its kind of nice actually.
But if I don't give her enough attention, she pukes.

I have lately been drawing lots of faces.
So I figured, I would make them into pin form.

I haven't listed them to sell yet. I'm focusing my store on clothing and tote bags.
I think I am going to start to sell pins solely on my website.
That is if I can get my sorry ass to sit down in front of a computer to get it done.

I also revamped my website.
There are a lot of things that need to be done on it and I'll probably end up changing the whole layout by next month.
But at least I have something new up.

broken minds

My dog broke her thumbnail right down to the skin.
Most of it came off and I had to bring her to the vet to get the rest of it off.

She wasn't happy.

But she does have this absolutely adorable bandages that are pink with purple hearts.
She hates it but its funny to watch her walk alkwardly with it on.
I think she knows I'm laughing at her.


She's all ok though. Apparently its fairly common during the winter months.

On a completely different note, I decided to have a 20% off sale in my etsy shop.
Check it out.

Sigh... I always feel weird plugging my site.
