Slow

Every October I get so excited I make so many different items and I hope I sell them all.Turns out every year I make it all just for it to sit around and not ever sell.....

I have a great love for Autumn with the amazing beautiful colors and I always hope someone enjoys my work enough to collect my Autumn pieces.I have a big Halloween section this year so go check it out everyone!

I'm also on www.halloweenart.ning.com A wonderful site dedicated to fellow Halloweenies.
I'm also on www.swapworkshop.com for all who love to swap and trade their items for someone elses.I've done a couple custom pieces too if you look to the side you'll see them.....I'm not too crafty with the web!!

Well maybe I'll do better with my Holiday items? I had one great and fun Halloween this year with my boys so it wasn't all bad and it's my wedding anniversary so I had a great time! peek in now and then folks I might have something you fancy!

AHHHHHHHHH

I was thinking the other day and again this morning......I have no time to craft and create anything lately.And I feel a little crowded in my work space........My desk is covered with EVERYTHING...............

I don't feel I have enough time to make the coolest things I want BUT I do think I could work on my sketches and drawings and try to make more bookmarks and stickers.I might not really sell any stickers but I LOVE to draw it's my first love so I believe I will go back to doodling once more for the time being......I am running low on supplies so I will try to sell all my Etsy items and work with the cash from that and if I don't sell online I'll have to do some craft shows and flea markets.And Halloween is coming so I will be doing an Autumn show!!!!

Plan

We have a plan my husband and I,to save up some cash over the next two to three years to get our DREAM house! So I 'm making myself a check list of our MUST haves.......

One.
BIG yard,big enough to run around in and to maybe add an outdoor grilling spot for John and a cute whimsical garden for myself.
Two.
NO construction what so ever to be done,painting no problem.
Three.
Three bedroom,one and a half baths because well lets face it,our little boys won't be little for long and we need to be able to go to the bathroom at will....
Four.
Sun porch in the back nice and spacious so if we want we can all sit out there and have some cold drinks and some hot coffee and fit all four of us and maybe some friends at the same time!!

Five
Lots of storage!!!!
Thats all I can figure I'd be super happy with in my dream house....I may add on when I need to.

Critic

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was the most brilliant movie I've seen in a long time! It was like watching the book breathe in color! Tim Burton is so amazing and the vision is so perfect I'm stunned at the fact that he can make any movie better,and recreate a book on the screen to add onto the most loved fantasy dream novel of Lewis Carroll he is the most amazing Director in the universe!

I can't wait to watch it over and over and then read the original again and again......Thank you Tim for being the most brilliant director ever!!

Crumb Cat Crave

Hey I have started one large phenomenon! CRUMB CATS!! I just can't stop making them it's so much fun...As of now I have four completed cats!

I have Edmond,Leo,Franny,and,Bunnie.
All adorable and hand made with skulpey light clay,and little paper faces decoupaged on.They remind me of fluffy candy or those soft circus peanuts!

Of those four Edmond,Leo,and Franny are up for sale already in my etsy shop.
www.cartooniecatdoodles.etsy.com As for the others their on display in the picture to the side of this post! Of the ones on display you'll see Bunnie she's pink with green polka dots,Lola who is the biggest she's green with some watermelon colored arms and legs,Wilbur who is purple with a painted face,and some tiny ones which I just call the twins.And out of those I have two who need their details finished and two who are on their way to be painted and spruced up!

If you or someone you know would like one go to my etsy shop and send me a convo! I'd love to make some custom cats!

Stupid old house

For those who don't know,me and my husband bought a house five years ago.It never occured to use how OLD it was and how CRAPPY it was...Our house was built in 1905 and has so many things that need repaired....Of course when your about to lose your apartment you don't mind the tile too much because your too stupid to realize how MUCH tile there is.

We had to make the upstairs bedrooms bigger so you could actually fit a bed in both,thankfully the upstairs will be finished this month! AWESOME theres some relief!

Then the Kitchen with all it's rotting cabinetry will be done next year...YAY! And after that we have some major scary remodeling to do in the back of the house with our bathroom and the laundry room...such a mess it is,not to mention WATER DAMAGE...grr
Tons of clutter in each inch of the house do to no upstairs and no STORAGE space.....I don't mean to sound so ungreatful,but after living in this house with it's blank white stained walls you got to let it out some where.

So for all those who think it would be "FUN" to buy a fixer house NEVER think of the word FUN think of the word "HELL"....it will save so much stress in the long run.
