Quick notice because I am way to tired to update. As of tonight I have no 5'' DreamCatchers for sale. My mate has taken the greater population of what I have that is finished and is giving it to a friend tomorrow morning that runs/owns a coffee shop for her to sell. This does not include previous DreamCatchers that were/are On Hold.

If you are waiting for a comission I am sorry for the delay (or a reply/answer/note), work has been delayed due to a runaway dog. I hope to have everything finished within the next 2-3 days.

Thank you for bearing with me.

Studio Update coming soon.. I am in the middle of doing a spur of the moment inventory. My materials are constantly and continuously growing and now and then I find myself taking stock and reorganizing so things are easier to find and easier to access. I also need to make room for some recently ordered items such as stone beads of black agate, garnet, peridot and more. My mate got me a Rock and Gem reference book that is very extensive with plenty of beautiful pictures and information. So there's lots of new stuff and materials in the studio, and I've been busy with orders and other things so I am here.. lol somewhere in case anyone has been wondering. Center webbings of DreamCatchers can now be done in Natural, White, Black, Red or Blue. The one who commissioned the Soft Soul DreamCatcher never came to claim it so it is now for sale, see the list below for information.

Also.. I've been playing Howrse (found it posted on a friend's journal) And I cant advance in the game on a certain level until I sponsor another player. So anyone out there willing to dedicate a bit of time to help me over this hurdle? I'll give a 1'' DreamCatcher to the first person that signs up and sends me a message (through Howrse) and the first person to be registered 20 days I'll give a 2'' DreamCatcher to. You don't have to play if you don't like it (obviously), but it only counts if your active. It only counts the days you connected as 'days registered'. And usually games like this for the sponsoring person the new recruit has to be active for so long for the sponsor to benefit. DreamCatcher will be in Traditional style, you can pick the color of the leather(only). Outside of the US, you have to pay for shipping. Here's the link-> [link]

Keep watch over the Thief.. *growls* ---->>[link] <<----

So I've been unpacking some things I haven't had a chance to get to since I moved. I found Christmas Ornaments and other things I had made or painted in previous years. Most of it was displayed for sale in a co-sign store that is no longer open and when it closed I got back what hadn't sold yet. Due to the rough nature the store saw.. or from all the transporting, some of it is in need of touch up work. At any rate.. I have too many finished projects taking up space, and too many waiting to be finished or started projects waiting to start taking up space.

So I went and took updated photos of what didn't need touching up and posted what I could so far at my store on Etsy.com. I looked up old sale sheets from the co-sign store and reduced the price of everything and put the ornaments in sets of 3(originally they were sold individually).

So.. bottom line.. I need to get rid of this stuff and I could use the money as well. My mate is lovingly nudging me to do some things but I want to get the rest of my dental work finished first, I've been saving for over a year and still only have enough to cover a small portion of what I need. So if you go and check out my Etsy store I'd appreciate it, if you think something is listed too high, note me, I'd love to have some feedback and am willing to negotiate prices. Everything purchased be it from my Etsy store or here will come with a 'referral card'- giving discounts on future DreamCatcher(s) be they commissioned orders or purchases on premades.

**All DreamCatchers are blessed with what is called a 'smudge' and filled with good energy. Each one comes with a story of the DreamCatcher as I heard it by an award winning Native American Story Teller, a material description, a Totem/symbolism description that is more extensive/detailed/personal than the one posted online and a 'Feather Blessing'. Feather Blessings are the quotes/poetry posted in bold italic at the end of each DreamCatcher submission and is part of the 'smudge' blessing. Feather Blessings reflect the meaning of one or more of the feathers on my wolf Cardi's tail. If you purchase or commission a DreamCatcher and wish a smudge or Feather Blessing that is private/unposted, I shall do so. I will create another Feather Blessing and leave it unposted, you will still receive the Feather Blessing card, or if you wish to create your Feather Blessing in part or whole I will use it. I don't create these Feather Blessings, the DreamCatcher speaks them itself as it is being made, it's just what I feel from it. Shipping will be about $4 unless you have a multi item order or live outside the United States, or other wise noted. Please note me with any questions or comments and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you.

Has been caught stealing art and passing it off as her own. She has also attempted to take characters from others and turn them into RPG characters that 'she created'. I've sniffed her out from PhotoBucket to Twitter and each account I've found of hers.. there always seems to be art she is using or passing off as her own without permission of the original owner. Sometimes she puts her signature on the work, regardless of the owner's signature, not to mention she has not changed the title of the file it was first saved as, and thank DA for including the artist's name/title in the file name. Here's a list of those I've found she has taken art from..

I have reported Cryingwolf911 to Photobucket. Here is the direct link to the form... [link] Also.. here is Photobucket's information on 'Someone is posting my image without my permission!' [link]

Please pass this information along to as many as possible so the works I couldn't identify the owners of might hear about this.

*growls, tail lashes irritatedly* Scum such as this doesn't deserve to crawl the earth. So much for trying to hack out a few replies.. I'm bushed, forive me to those whom are waiting for answers for you will have to wait a little bit longer.

I cannot remember being so utterly depressed in all my life as I was this past week. Seriously. I didn't sleep for over 4 days straight, when I did sleep I had nightmares. I -never- have nightmares. I smoked 2 cigarettes. I -never- smoke! My chest hurt horribly, my head.. my stomach.. I constantly felt I had been punched in the stomach and I was winded. I couldn't eat, food had no flavor, gave me a sick feeling rather than an appeal and I kept choking on it. I had to force it down, and then force it to stay there. I've cried harder and longer this past week (more than once!) than I can ever remember. Constantly I would sit some place and hug my knees to my chest or bury my head beneath my arms and sit there until someone interrupted me. I spent a night on the floor of my studio, still in my work clothes and shoes, and tried to get lost in the woods behind our house and pretend I was a dead tree. It was so bad, I pushed away those close to me.. cheerful talkative me was anything but. I scared and worried friends and family, but they couldn't know or help with what had caused such a darkness. Never have I ever felt so alone, so unheard in a room of people.

The bride to be called me to have a talk. I asked if I was still in the wedding she said.. 'I wont say no, but something has to be done.' We talked for over an hour. Looking back now I feel as tho we didn't make as much progress as we should have with the time we spent talking? Her mother-in-law to be crabbed and complained to her about me. The bride is worried and concerned. She doesn't see how we will work together in the future. I told her.. I never said I wouldn't work with her! I am willing to work with her! I cant help she is having a tantrum. Well.. maybe so.. but the mother-in-law wants nothing more to do with me. Despite the fact the mother-in-law told the other bridesmaid to 'do the bridal shower with out me and I'll come as a guest.. you will have to find a place to have it... and you pay for it!' The bride informed me that the mother-in-law was considering on having it at her original location and still doing it her way.. yet she was wavering on the decision.. she cant decide.. and the shower is in less than 2 weeks. My mate told me to just stay silent, to let the mother-in-law do as she pleases.. the invitations are already out so they will all be showing up at her door, and if there is nothing there to greet the guests by way of food or other things.. it will be her fault for having a fit because someone told her.. 'everything is about you!.... guess what? the bride doesn't like.......AND it's HER shower.. not yours' On top of that am a little stung by the bride. She finally put down some clear guidelines about what she wants rather than constantly asking others what they would like, however she said.. 'I don't think I could have you come in a pony tail' Eh? Seriously? Your concerned about that? It's a wedding! Phbbbbbb like I'd do something like that. Not to mention we have already talked about hairstyle and makeup and I told her what I did and didn't like but I also said.. 'in the end it doesn't matter because I am going to give you want you want!' And dammit I may be the only one who does. Hmm... She said something else.. wish I could remember it at the moment...

*shrugs*

Things did happen in far greater detail, but am not up for talking about it, espically on such an open circuit. Not to mention tis late and I must get up early for work. On top of this halabaloo my dad has been facing some unexpected medical issues, tests, and surgeries for these past few months. These past couple weeks have been riddled with tests, findings, worries, stress, more tests.. and so forth.. he is having surgery on the 18th to fuse bones in his neck to see if it solves some of his ailments. His birthday is the 14th.

Tom-Tom my mate's long hair orange tabby sprayed in my studio today, right infront of the litterbox! We bought two extra litter boxes for my cat because she is so clean and needs a clean box and Tom Tom sprays the inside of the box so profusely that she dosent.. wont.. cant use them. But today he sprayed the mat infront of the box and the floor and the carpet, and the unpainted wood floor under the carpet all in one go. He's not the only male cat in the house, but I know it was him. Little Joe was downstairs with me when it happened and when he goes it is not nearly as much as Tom Tom, and we know it wasn't any of the dogs because it was sprayed, and a decent distance too. Am so mad at him.

Things are on the mend. I am only beginning to recover from this week, my heart has several new wounds and scars upon it that I feel with every beat. I'll answer replies I've received as soon as I can, but must go to bed now.
