I took a quick 5 hour road trip to Maryland a couple weeks ago. It was only meant to be a three day visit, but ended up being two weeks. I noticed my Volvo s40 was pretty loud while driving, and remembered when my 244 Volvo was the same…wheel bearing probably. So when I got to Maryland I took it to a mechanic that had two 240s in the parking lot. I figured hey, they obviously work on Volvo’s! Anyway, long story short, they replaced the wheel bearing but it was causing issue with the abs/anti-skid, aka they weren’t working. They said I should be fine to drive home and when I’m back on the 10th of July, they could replace it. Nope. On Wednesday I drove maybe 10 minutes out of town, had a car in front of me stop short, which made me have to brake hard, and we slid. Wheeeeeee! I said nope, not driving 300 miles without abs! So I turned around and went straight to the mechanic, explained what happened, and by this Monday we were back on the road heading home. I’m now home, and back to making art! <3
Hello! I know it’s been a while since I have made a blog post. After I changed my landing page to my shopfront, I wasn’t sure if anyone would still see the blog. So let’s see if you still look here! It’s summer, and my kitties are all about having fun at the beach, the pool, taking road trips! I hope you’re all enjoying the start to summer. <3
No surprise, but it seems like every time I order new glasses, I have to make a kitty with glasses painting. Sure I paint kitties with glasses all the time, and no I’m not getting new glasses every time, but this time, I am. This is Mr. Fluffernutter Buttersocks. He’s adjusting to his new glasses.
Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve been a bit slow to update the blog. Chrome and my blog weren’t getting along so it was hard to post. I hope you all had a fantastic New Year celebration! Here are my latest paintings for 2023. As always, heavily leaning towards holidays, with some random things in my mind painted as well. <3
Newest painting is my version of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers…with cats! I mean come on, there’s no way the little kittens wouldn’t be enticed by a vase of sunflowers, especially with one hanging down!
Happy November! So I have been thinking, and while I’m working on commissions for the start of this month, I am going to offer only 1 pre-order for Christmas Ornaments.
I have received so many messages looking for my ornaments and I wasn’t going to do any Christmas ones this year-I don’t think I did them last year either. So, my goal is to run the pre-order for two weeks, OR if I hit 40 ornament sales I will end the pre-order. 40 ornaments in two weeks is a lot of work, and every ornament is 100% handmade. That leaves me two weeks this month to work on commissions and paint some holiday paintings.
Pre-order starts today, and ends November 15th, or sooner depending on the number sold!
