Added some Halloween Decorations to the shop today. Already sold one, which is nice. http://www.etsy.com/shop/DreamingSquidRead more... )

Smeagol survived his vet visit, though he tried to hide in my vest while we were waiting in the exam room. His paw was just beginning to show signs of infection, so it's good I got him in when I did. Another 24 hours, and it probably would have been much worse, judging by how fast it progressed from slightly worrisome to stinky and in need of a vet ( Read more... )

Smeagol needs to go back to the vet tomorrow. After a month on the Prednisone, both back paws are looking almost completely better. His front right, on the other hand, decided to get questionable a few days ago, and has rapidly progressed to looking and smelling infected - even with cleaning with peroxide once a day, and a hot salt water soak (damp ( Read more... )

So, last night I painted for a while, and then decided to fool around on WoW with a Night Elf Hunter I've been playing lately. I was running off up the road in darkshore, when the picture flickered and then sort of folded and disappeared like on an ancient television.

Painted yesterday. Did a cloaked raven in the day, and then moved on to a painting of 2 of my weird cloaked moonstone faced figures in the evening. I discovered with the second painting, that using a fine tipped marker to draw over the sketch is a great thing to do.

A couple of new things in my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DreamingSquid

I've made a wrist cuff I'm very happy with, to the point I almost don't want to sell it. The inspiration began with an old piece of lace that came from one of the many tattered vintage dresses I used to wear. And then a key... and a scrap from the huge box of scraps I bought from kambriel ages ago. The result is here in my etsy shop. I like making these.

Just posted the photos (with info) of the New Rocks I am selling to my other LJ.

There are few tasks singularly more rewarding than bottle feeding tiny little sad kittens that become happier while you hold and feed them.

Those of you who are thinking "Dear god, please stop with the freaking kitty pix," you know, I'll try and hold back. But, they're so cute.

I'll let you know when I find out ( Read more... )

I'm about to do a huge clean-out of closets and such. There will probably be a few pairs of hardly worn shoes up for grabs. I am probably going to do this by just listing the items here, since most of them do not qualify as "vintage" as per Etsy guidelines and eBay fees are just stupid ( Read more... )
