Supercat

I had to share this picture!

Fishstick is incredibly fond of plastic bags. Any time he can, he will crawl into them. Corey and I went to go grab some groceries, and saw this waiting for us at the door.

He is such a silly cat! He is about 2 years old now... I can't believe how much he has grown.

How adorable was his little face!?

Good news!

This is going to be a pretty quick, but personal post.

I haven't said anything about it here, because I want my blog to be a place of happiness, but life has been pretty rough around here lately. Corey and I got married on November 11th, and in the next two months our only car broke down and had to be towed from our front yard and Corey was laid off. It has been a major struggle since then. I only work part time(usually 30-35 hours) but my job requires completely open availability. Corey is the chief bread winner of our home.

Thankfully, there was nothing major broken on Calliope(our little 2007 Toyota Yaris) so we got that taken care of in a few days. Unfortunately, finding a job for Corey was not that easy. We put him through school two years ago to be certified in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, and the tail end of winter just is not busy season for them. No one was hiring.

This morning he interviewed with one of the larger companies in our area, and was hired on the spot! He is such an amazingly hard worker, and I am beyond pleased that someone recognizes it in him. He starts tomorrow! I'll hardly get to see him, since he's going to be working 6:30am-2pm, but that will just make the time we do spend together better!

So that is a little peek into what has been going on here. I hope everything is going well for all of you!

Wolves

I've been crazy busy with work lately! Plus a good friend just got back from deployment, and I am so happy to have him home.

I have been keeping busy with things to share too! I scored some amazing things thrifting this past week, and I can't wait to get some good photos.

Until then, I will show you a commission I had. She wanted a a little wolf statue, and a necklace charm. I am satisfied with the statue, but boy oh boy do I love the charm!

The statue looks a bit more dog like, and I had the hardest time painting him. I must have redone him at least 5 times. I'm usually really good at painting and gradients, but something about the wolf just wouldn't work. He's about 3 inches tall.

The charm though, so cute! His body is about the size of a nickle for comparison. I think I may make some more, with different animals. Maybe a little kitty next?!
