The past month and a half have been extremely busy! The shop's inventory has really dwindled and I have to get crackin' to make more. The cats have been too funny and I've had 6 concerts with about 8 dress rehearsals for them. PHEW!
I'm definitely tired and I think I've earned a vacation!
Go EFA!!!
The Etsy for Animals team was featured last month in a Storque article and lovely Luxor or Stoli were a featured photo! Take a look!
Soooo, I woke up early today to get a lot of work done at school. As I was driving to school I commented on how heavy traffic was. I got of the turnpike and in a split second I chose between getting my morning tea at Dunkin' Donuts or Irving (Blue Canoe). I chose DD.
I pull in to the drive in thinking "wow, it's really busy today." But was ok waiting in line because I had time, it was only 6:41. It took forever to get through the drive through. I finally ordered my regular order: "medium regular tea black please" and they repeat "medium regular HOT tea black". I drive up and they try to give me two cappuccinos, "4.96 please". I said, "Oh no, I ordered a medium regular tea black, 1.81".
They didn't even have it prepared, so I waited, didn't take too long. I got my tea and went to work. I get to work and take the lid off to get rid of the tea bag ( I hate strong tea). My tea had CREAM in it!!!!!
I had time, so I went back to DD and went INSIDE this time. I asked the lady behind the counter to please correct the drive through's mistake: I ordered a "medium regular tea, black - NO cream".
She apologized and then got me tea. I pulled the little tabby up and it was black so I left.
I got to school and opened it up to take the tea bag out.......IT WAS COFFEE, BLACK.
Oh my gosh!!! It's about 7:15 now and I am bound and determined to get my tea. I drive back THROUGH construction to get to a really busy DD.........
I asked to speak with the manager on duty. I (as politely as I could) asked "I've been here three times in the past hour, could I please have a medium regular tea, black. It's been wrong twice. And I need a refund."
I got my tea and I got my refund. But I had to go back through construction to get to school AND I ended up behind the buses.
So in summary, I didn't finally get to school until 7:50... School started at 8am.
I am not sure if I want to go back there again.
Here's the newest custom order at endless whimsy - a beautiful pointed Siamese.... This is probably one of my favorites. It's made out of beige polymer clay and hand painted with black, van dyke brown, and white. Oh, and a little blue for the collar!
Here's a photo of some satisfied customers:
Here's a quick story about how the Perfect Pet Feeder was born.
Hi folks,
It's been a busy week here. Loads of auditions for our musical. Wrote a grant for a sound system. Gave about a million assessments. Sold some items. Over all a very busy week.
I received the last two Stephenie Meyers books and am reading the Bourne Identity. I also have Chamber of Secrets going too. The book of Bourne is really much more interesting than the movie. There is a lot of back story that is never touched in the movie plot.
I have a cold - being run down from a nasty schedule. But on the up and up - I got some Christmas presents for my family today. Yea!
Will let you know about any thing new....
The unveiling of the ORIGINAL Endless Whimsy Sculpture! Ceramic, kiln-fired, glazed in jet black..
A friend of mine lost one of her pets last month and I decided to make a tribute to her Rainbow Bridge baby.
Here is an excerpt from the poem:
The happy kisses rain upon your face: your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look on again into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.
Then, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together
Swing on by and see Stoli and Luxor on the front page of Daily Pets in the UK. They are featured from their flickr site. Be sure to leave a comment for the boys - but be sure to not let their heads get too big.

There's not much new on the home front here. The kits are well and annoying as ever. Shutterfly didn't send a package they were supposed to. School is just plain, ech. I do like the general music classes and the choruses, there's a ton of potential there, but the administrative stuff just gets in the way.
Tomorrow's Friday - Hallelujah!
