I just finished my first commission, for my friend Fred… who is actually having it sent to a friend of his for her birthday. He wanted it in the style of my Baby Monsters and blue. This is what I came up with:

I’m also working on another commission right now that I got through deviantART, from a picture that the girl drew. It should be interesting and challenging and I hope it comes out well. I also sold another plush on Etsy last night, so I’m in an overall good mood. Plush business is going well and I am having such a good time making them. I really want to go to a craft fair and have a booth, but Ravi pointed out that I really don’t have a big enough stock pile of plushies to do that yet. And if and when that happens I want to develop a few other items to sell along with the plushies so my wares are more rounded and have a wider appeal.

No word yet from Plush You. But do check out the blog there, because she posts incoming applicants now and then and they are always awesome. Also, another place to enjoy random plushies is Softies Central. Her themed posts are really fun. It keeps me plush-sated at any rate.

Now for the Sadness… I miss my dogs soooooooooooo much! In case you didn’t know, which is likely, I’m in the process of getting a divorce. One of our dogs, Tofu, is like mine and my husbands child. I had him with me for some time, but now my husband has him. We are taking turns, usually several months at a time, keeping him. He is my little heart and soul. He is the best dog I have ever had, and I just ache with how much I miss him. I also have another dog, Dingo (who was sort of my graduation present to myself). Unfortunately, he has potty training problems, so I can’t have him with me where I am living right now. He is staying with my mom, who has a chihuahua named Osito and my brothers pitbull, Sydnie and a huge backyard. So I don’t feel so bad, because I know he is happy there… but well… he is pretty bonded to me. I was unemployed when I got him, so from the time he was 5-weeks up until he was several months

he spent nearly all day with me. In any case, they are my babies and I miss them dearly. I was in Phoenix on Wednesday and I spent the day with them.. I took them to the dog park and they romped about and had a good time. On to the peektures!
