from a drug induced fog...

...i write this blog entry.

sorry for not updating this sooner...
but things have been a little crazy, to say the least.
i have managed to rupture a disc in my neck,
which, for the time being, has all but killed the use of my left arm...
which is definitely needed for making BuNnY MoNsTeRz.
so...there won't be any shop updates in the near future.


i have spoken to most of you that are near and dear...
and those of you that stalk me on twitter or facebook
or one of my other many random social networking sites
at least know a little bit of what is going on.

i am scheduled to see a neurologist in the next week or so, hopefully.
...and we'll go from there.

so, if you could just send some good vibes my way...
i'd appreciate it. i'd really like NOT to have surgery of any kind.
so i am pulling for something wonderful happening that just
heals things up.

i'll try to let you know if anything changes.
thanks for all of the notes and emails and pictures.
i appreciate every last one of them.

have a wonderful week!

hello tuesday...

i apologize yet again for the lack of updates...
but here's a stellar video that is kinda halloween-y...
to hold you over...
and since there are only 10 days until halloween,
i figured it was a good time...
i love this song and listen to it year round...
but it does have a certain "this time of year" feel to it...





and speaking of halloween...
pumpkin art never ceases to amaze me...
check out these pumpkins!!!


soon, my dear BuNnY MoNsTeRz lovers
there will be more stuff for you...
as soon as i get caught up again.

have an amazing tuesday...

happy thursday!

well, my morning started off with much happiness.
it started with 4 etsy sales...wahoo!
i was excited enough about that...
then i read the email from the gentleman that bought them.
and i thought i'd share the email...

"I have been home with H1N1 for a week. It has hit my classroom and school, and it has given me some unexpected free time. I was lucky that it did not knock me too far down. I am a teacher and have taken some time to shop around on Etsy to find friends that my fourth graders can do creative writing with. I think your friends are neat because the kids will be able to draw them and maybe even create illustrations of new friends of their own! I am having this shipped to school, and I will be glad to have them at my school home. I really love your creativity and look of quirkiness that makes your work endearing. I will look forward to returning to your shop after you finish your custom orders.
Thanks very much!"

i can't even explain how happy personal messages
make me. i adore the BuNnY MoNsTeRz...
i wouldn't keep making them if i didn't.
but, i also understand that they are not everyone's
cup of tea. thankfully, the people that love
the BuNnY MoNsTeRz really LOVE them.

.......................................

follow all of that up with a stellar cup of pumpkin coffee
and i am one happy little artist on a great thursday.

i can only hope your thursday
brings you smiles and happiness as well.

......................................

and just because i don't think i ever posted it here...
this is a 4x4 painting on wood of phidget.
i am making several more of these...
and thinking of having a custom listing for your own
BuNnY MoNsTeRz portrait to be painted...





and i'm outta here for now...have a great day!

i'm in love...

and at some point this weekend,
the squash fairy visited our house.
yes, i said squash fairy.
you didn't know there was a squash fairy?
neither did i, until we came home
to find a gorgeous pumpkin and a butternut squash
on our steps.

thank you squash fairy...we love you!

BuNnY MoNsTeRz news...
well, my etsy shop is looking somewhat HaLLoWeEn free...
mostly because i have some HaLLoWeEn backorders.
people were ordering HaLLoWeEn BuNnY MoNsTeRz before
they were made...via custom and alchemy requests.

so...if you want/need/covet/
your own HaLLoWeEn BuNnY MoNsTeR,
please drop me an email, as it doesn't look as though many
will make it into the shop.
and for those interested...
i'm starting on the HoLiDaY BuNnY MoNsTeRz next week.

sorry for the blogging gaps...
but we had the birthday and the 4 day weekend...
and we actually had days together as a family.
and since that doesn't happen too often, we took advantage of it!

MoNsTeR MoNDAy will resume next week...

have a terrific tuesday!

well hello there...

tomorrow Munki will be 7 years old.
i am in a wee state of shock.
but it happens every year 'round this time.

i won't get too personal, for all you BuNnY MoNsTeRz fans...

and since i most likely won't be blogging tomorrow
(but you never can tell)

happy birthday to my most amazing work of art...

happy MoNsTeR MoNdAy!!!

come with me

well...our household has been sick for a week now...
it started with munki and made its way to me and is
finishing up its final leg on the hubby...
i finished up a custom today...
and am sending that off...

the rest of the week will find me sewing like a mad woman
to catch up on HaLLoWeEn orders.

speaking of HaLLoWeEn...

isn't the picture above AWESOME?
click on it
to see more of the amazing-ness that is the poppy tree...

and check out her sister's awesomeness over here...
boopsie.daisy

both have flickr accounts that are beyond drool worthy
& as an even bigger bonus...
they both have etsy shops where you can simply
push a few buttons, pay a little tribute and then own
your own magnificent creations by them.
its quite obvious that talent runs in the family...

have a splendid monday & a superb week!!!
