Feature Friday: Gub Factory

I'm going to be starting a Feature Friday where I feature other Etsy sellers! Yay! (I'll feature sellers other days too, but I figured having a set day would be rather nice).

My first featured seller is gubfactory. Gub Factory makes all kinds of cute plush, like this ninja throwing pea:

Now, who the heck doesn't need a ninja pea to throw at people?! I know I do. And I can think of several people to throw it at . . .

And an emo crow! Look, he's all sad and burdened by highschool drama . . .

And a vampire tomato!!! Yes, you heard me right. A VAMPIRE tomato! I vant to suck your . . .um . . . tomatoey goodness? NO! Ketchup! I vant to suck your ketchup! (spoken with a creepy transylvanian accent)

So, you need to check out gubfactory! You'll be happy you did!

Rawr!

The Beauty in my Backyard

They say beauty is all around us, if you just know where to look. Here are some shots I took in my backyard on Tuesday afternoon. Enjoy!

And in case you're wondering, yes, there is a picture of a dead mouse and one of a mouse skull. Who's to say that's not beautiful?

My Studio

Ever wonder what other people's workspaces look like? I do! So I thought that I'd share mine! I'm particulary excited about mine as my hubby and I completely re-did it over the past couple of days. I now have tons of storage and I'm way organized I need more artwork for the walls, but I've already ordered a few pieces from fellow Etsy artists.

Here's my new workspace:

Storage!!

My new studio is a breath of fresh air! Neat, organized, bright, and clean!!!

My Wishlist!!!

So I'm sitting on the couch this morning, enjoying my coffee (french roast with vanilla caramel creamer!), watching Yo Gabba Gabba with my son (I don't recommend Yo Gabba Gabba - rather annoying and DJ Lance looks like a creepy pimp from the 70's. Seriously)

See? Come on. Look at his hat! Ahhhhh, but the kids love him and the show. My son especially.

Okay. ANYWAY . . . . I decided I'd like to showcase a few of my favorite items from other wonderful Etsy artists!

First up is davenevanxaviour! I LOVE this Gir! (I'm a big fan of Invader Zim). He's so cute!

Next up is papermoongallery! Check out this nurse! Of course I love it because I'm an RN!

Here's an awesome shark water bottle cozy from Handamade. I need one of these!

This is just a small sampling of my favs! I'll be sharing many more!

Back to weird orange pimps . . .

My Very Icky Dog :)

My dog Zan is quite icky. What makes her icky you ask? Lots of things! For one, she smells like doritos. If you're a dog owner, you know that smell. Really. Smell your dog's feet. Doritos. Or fritos. The difference with Zan is that I swear her whole body smells like that. It's her aura or something. When she was a pup, she had an extra toe on each hind foot. And each extra toe had 2 claws. The claws looked like spider fangs. Icky. And she thinks she's a cat. She'll arch her back and rub up against you, and she licks her paws and uses them to 'clean' her face. Icky.

Here she is looking especially icky! Aaawwwww, you can see her inner eyelid!

We've had her since she was 8 weeks old! She's 6 now and starting to show her age. Though she still acts like a pup. LOVES playing with my son (who's 2 1/2). It's pretty funny. She'll respond to 'Zan', 'icky', 'queen ick', 'icky dog', and 'squishy'. And my son Ayden calls her 'icky' as well!

So, when we got Zan, the lady told us she was a sheltie/boston terrier mix. She was very weird and wouldn't let us come to her house. We had to meet her in a Dennys parking lot. Just very odd. Looking at her, I can definitely see the boston terrier coloring, and she has a long snout and tail like a sheltie. But I've never been convinced. I think she looks like a rat terrier. AND, if you read about a rat terrier's temprament, it's Zan to a 't'. I joke with Jeremy (my hubby) that it's a conspiracy and Zan ia truly a rat terrier. So, look at Zan:

And then look at this picture of a rat terrier:

Okay, here's Zan again:

And a rat terrier:

See?! Conspiracy!

I've actually been thinking about doing DNA testing on her. It's really not that expensive. I'm curious to see what all of you think. Mutt? Or rat terrier?

Either way, she's my baby girl! (and the namesake of my etsy shop!)

Zombie Bunnies!

I thought I'd share my latest zombie bunnies. I love zombies. They're awesome. They like brains. And they make funny noises. :)

Aaaawwwwww. This guy's intestines are falling out! How cute!

And this one's being eaten by maggots! Hooray!

. . .yes, I'm strange, and I'm okay with that.
