*pants* I think..... I think I'm going to be back now.

Good Grief - Third shift really just sucks the life outta ya. Plus 50+ hour weeks don't help.

Anywho, I quit that job. It was that or go toe-to-toe with the supervisor (very long story short: he couldn't handle a woman who can run machinery better than a man). I decided to leave with some dignity. Gonna try out the stay-at-home wife life, get my health back together, and start kicking out some fursuit things.

We had one of our beloved ferrets pass away this morning at 7 years old. Its just been a rough week.

But I look forward to getting back in touch with everyone and getting rolling on what I enjoy doing.

There is a partial in the works right now so look forward to some pictures of the progress once I get the house back together and get started back on it. Just like the sergal, this one will be auctioned off as well.

Sorry for everyone who left messages - had some super crazy stuff going on and just haven't been around much unfortunately. Just a little notice, if you are wanting to ask something the quickest way to get a hold of me for the time being would be to shoot me an email to ruizaka@live.com.

I don't know how I feel about this.. Creepy yet funny

Poor Ruiz has been living in moms attic while we were moving.

Just went and got her tonight. Now she has her own closet in the craft room instead of a storage container in an attic XD

I'm so scattered anymore lol and writing it on a piece of paper just ends up with said piece of paper disappearing (I swear there's gotta be little gnomes that come out at night and klepto anything important XD)

Needing info on fursuit commissions?
Go to my fursuit business page
Appalachian Fursuits





I dont normally complain online but - Do any of the 60ish of y'all (by the way, thanks for all of the watches XD) suffer from HS? If so, any secret tips? I'm having a horrid flare up and am desperate for some relief... I'm so sick of this. I just want it gone

Eh... I've been needing to do this


Art TOS
1. Any art received from me can be reposted but must be credited back to me. Don't claim it as your own.
2. On the rare occasion I do paid commissions, refunds can be given only if it is not past the rough sketch phase. Otherwise, I've put enough time into that you are stuck. Only buy art if you are serious.
3. Don't complain and rush me on commissions. Yes - feel free to ask for updates, but don't harass me. I am pretty good about staying on schedule and if something is going to be late I will let you know. Especially don't harass me on free art -_- I do this for fun
4. I would prefer if you didn't edit my art -free or not- but if you feel it is necessary, please post in the info that you did.
5. Feel free to respost art you receive as long as you credit it back to me.


Fursuit TOS

1. Refunds can only be given if I haven't started on it. If supplies have been ordered, a refund will be given minus supply cost and shipping and the supplies will be shipped to you..

2. Don't harass me (updates are okay to ask for). If we have agreed on a deadline, it will be done by then as long as nothing crazy happens.

3. Payment plans are available. This must be discussed prior to the start of the fursuit.

4. I DO have a houseful of critters. There's cats, dogs, ferrets, etc. - so if you are allergic you may want to order elsewhere. For those of you not allergic - I do try my best to keep the critters away and will vacuum the suit thoroughly before shipping.

5. I am not responsible for any injury/damages caused from wearing this suit. Be sure to read up on what goes into wearing one of these - it's not just something you go throw on and dance around in. Especially in regards to overheating!

I reserve the right to cancel any commission if I feel threatened, harassed, or wronged in some way. A fair refund will be given in any case, but you will be barred from any future contact. Period.

Otherwise, I am pretty easy to get along with. Treat me well and I will do the same for you =)

Enjoy your day
