New stuff in Etsy

*****

I'm so ashamed of myself these two pendants have been done for well over a week and I'm just getting them listed in my etsy shop Land Of Nod Studio's

I know I am one very S.L.Poke but the idea of spending my day trying to list two tiny things on etsy might be one of the reasons I'm so hesitant to go there, I can't say it enough UGGGGGGGG etsy is the slowest site on planet Internet!!!!!!!

Any-who it's all over now I'm calm and these two Soldered pendants are up and running.
How do you destroy a house in a few shorts months anyone? Easy get yourself two kittens make sure one is rambunctious and naughty and your house will look like a disaster zone in no time.

If your lucky you just might need one kitten to do the job especially if he looks like this, no need for kitty # 2 cause ones like this can accomplish the same amount of destruction all by themselves.

These pictures are not staged no this little hellion managed to come up with this one all on his own. I have had these fake flowers (tacky I know but they brighten up the room like nobodies business) for years without incident. Then comes along wee Stumpy and makes mince meat out of my arrangement in no time. How he got up the 2 foot plant stand without knocking everything down is beyond me. Actually after many episodes of removing his carcass from smack dab in the middle of the flowers I decided to stick around and watch the whole procedure. The little bugger scaled the leg of the stand like it was nothing pulled himself up into the bucket and presto I'm sitting pretty in Mom's flowers, aren't I adorable!!!!



All the while Spanky watches and cheers him on go Stumpy!!! you see Spanky would love to join in the fun he is too clumsy thank goodness not sure how I would handle two agile kitties. Spanky got to enjoy the fruits of Stumpy's hard work when Stumpy starting tossing flowers out on to the floor for Spanky to bat around. The bucket of flowers has now been removed and sent to the dark dreary basement out of harms way. I'm still finding flower remains scattered though-out the house.

Atc swap card

I have been going hog wild and have signed up for way to many atc swaps, I have jumped on board so many I now need a book to write them all down. I just hope I haven't bitten of more than I can chew.

Marie Antoinette Atc swap

Atc's for words of wisdom trade

I think I have signed up for 9 swaps oh my what have I gone and done, all these ATC's and so very little time. I really need to cut back but I'm having so much fun ATC's are soooo addictive. I still haven't found my way into the mohair closet but I'm getting real close who knows maybe I'll manage to squeeze in some teddy creating.

Until next time Hugs Deborah

More ATC's for swap

*****

I knew joining the Marie Antoinette Art group would be a good thing for me, it forces me to get cracking and get my lazy butt in the studio. Now I know these aren't awe inspiring but it's nice to just be creating again. I have been taking it easy for the past month and its high time I get back to tinkering about with my art supplies.

Here are a few ATC's I did for a swap called Rosy Marie, we had to incorporate one or more roses in our card and of course have a Marie Antoinetteish theme. I have sealed all these cards in wax I just love how it gives the cards a 3d look.

This card is one for the host but SHHHHHHH don't tell her its a secret, since this was an extra I opted out of using roses. I'm such a rebel!!!!

This card was me playing around with different ideas for the background it has nothing to do with the swap just me experimenting. I was very pleased with how the texture turned out but then like the silly nilly I am I covered up all my hard work with stuff. A case of not knowing when enough is enough, STOP ALREADY!!!!!

The grand lady herself in her later years. looking at these cards makes me realize they are very similar to my last ones hmmmmm better change things up or people are going to call me a one trick pony.

I went a head and signed up for 3 more swaps with all this swapping going on I'm not sure how I'm going to squeeze in some time for new stuff for my etsy shop. I think I will head back into the mohair closet and birth a bear its been a long time since I have felt the softness of mohair, and I could use a hug and there is nothing better at hugs than a teddy bear.

Until next time take care

Hugs Deborah
