Shutttttttttt downnnnnnn

I know I need to stop for the night when I look down and the computer clock says that it's 18:06...07... anyway. After lunch, amidst kinderlein coming home and being asked if they had homework et al, I managed to get seven more graphics done for the Trick or Treat section. Whew!! My hands are freezing again. meh. I'm down to just making the three Cane Cats... who am I kidding?? That's just if I don't pop up with something else at the last minute! ::grin::

So, unless they have some actual work from my day job tomorrow (crossing fingers), I'll start putting those up tomorrow. I'm not sure which takes longer sometimes, making the graphic itself or putting it up on cafepress? There are times when one of both will just sliiiiiide into place with ease and click! There you are. And then there are the times when you feel like you are wrestling with a seven-headed hydra... or worse... a two-year old who has had no nap. ::shudder::

So... tomorrow sees...
An evile plan...
Consoling about getting more treats...
Kitten's Halloween Checklist...
Someone who finds the holiday highly illogical...
The Official Potion Maker...
Gray Cat getting tricked!!...
Giggle Cat as the Good Witch!!

whew! No wonder I'm exhausted!!!! Okay, can I fall down now? Yes? I can? Oh good. The ComputerKitty has concurred. All is well. What's that? Am I crossing my fingers for or against? Oh gosh, it has to be for right now. That's the only income I'm bringing in until enough someones ::looks innocently around the room::, not naming names or anything, decide they like what they see at the shop and buy enough to make up the difference. ::grin::

May everyone have a safe and peaceful night.

Slow Going This Morning...

I feel like I haven't really gotten much done this morning.  I had to resize the graphics on the two new designs I put in the Trick or Treat  section.  meh.  I also changed one design.  My mom, who is one of my critics, said that she really didn't like the Official Costume Inspector so I changed it from using the Doctor Cat to another of the cats holding a magnifying glass.  I feel good about finally having gotten Chair Cat in but then I realized that I don't have a Cane Cat done!!  Eeeeeep!  Now I have to figure out what Cane Cat is going to say for Halloween.

Because I use a wheelchair and/or cane myself when I'm out & about (knees & fibro), I have this thing about having both a Chair Cat and a Cane Cat for special sections, such as cards & holidays.  I'm going to be putting in the Witchy Kitty & Magic Man section after I finish up making some more cats for Trick or Treat (as well as a few more Witchy Kitties & Magic Men!).  I'm debating whether or not I should make anything for Thanksgiving or not.  I will definately be making cats for Christmas so I'm not sure if I should just jump straight into that or not.  It's a question of how soon folx want Christmas stuff, ya know?  Hmmmmm... it's 12:40... I should probably stop and do a lunchthing.  Lunchthings are goooOOOoood.

I haven't been getting any work from my day job.  Oh yes!  I actually am a graphic artist, although I only make math graphics for XXX.  But I'm a contract worker and if they don't me work then... gee, I don't get fed.  No, it's actually not quite that bad.  But it is why I'm hoping that this shop will take off!!  Rather like I should take off to the kitchen for food!!  ::grin::

Welcome!!

Hi! I'm Kat. This is the first time that I have blogged, albeit I've been on lj for years and just been dragged into Facebook. But this blog is all about Kat's Kats, my cafepress store. It all started when someone wanted a t-shirt made from one of my lj icons. You can blame them. However, the shop has grown beyond my lj icons. Don't look at me. It's not my fault.

But you should know about the newest products!! Given that Halloween is coming, I've been putting up great cats for Halloween! There are more cats to go up in this section so make sure that you keep checking! Gray Cat, Emo Kitty, and then Wicked Kitty & Magic Man are on their way with more to say!!

My cat designs are modeled off of our own four Tims (they have been neutered so they are no longer Toms). Sir Thomas of Snuggle, his littermate Zaphoid Beebelbrox aka Emo Kitty aka Dinner, StarWalker BitCat the ComputerKitty aka Ninja Cat, and Vicious Miette Pumpkin Thunderblaster Knives Pterodactyl aka the Kitten aka Trouble aka Oberon aka the Kitten with the Identity Crisis. Yes, it's true. We have an invisible sign over our house that says, "Cat suckers ahem, I mean lovers live here, feed good food, come on in!"

I live with my husband, my 16 year old daughter, and my 13 year old son. Our 22 year old daughter is off on her own but lives close by which I think is a Good Thing™!

I hope that you'll enjoy these great designs. * They'll make great gifts for any cat lover; but be warned, you might just want to keep them for yourself!

*Why yes, I am quite modest. However did you know? ::weg::
