Ontario Tornado Warnings!

We had a pretty impressive storm roll through last night! Dan and I were pretty jittery before the storm. We put all our emergency supplies together and once we heard there was a tornado warning, we grabbed the cat and rabbit and fled to the basement. Our poor kitty (Doom) was not happy about going in the basement, it's an unfamiliar place to her. Her tail was all puffy and she was clinging to me so hard! Once we were down there though, the mood changed....call us weird but we actually kind of enjoyed it (even though we were in a 4'x4' room with a toilet and a lotta spiders). The kitty was a useful barometer, if she started freaking out we knew we would need to stay down there...either that or she needs the litter box.

Ball of ants

No, I'm not going to talk about all the ants invading my kitchen right now.

Do you ever talk to someone really high up in their league and get a little nervous?

I know I do. I was laying in bed thinking about this, and it was kind of a trippy thought...but this is how I get rid of that fear: I think of the earth, the big gorgeous ball slowly rotating in space, glimmering with beauty , and then I think of humans as ants or tiny specs, and I think of myself HUGE hugging that ball with ants on it...and whoever I'm talking to is obviously one of those ants. It's funny, but when I think of people in that way, all connected, all ONE, I really don't feel too scared anymore. Life when you think about it is kind of pointless, but that's why theres no real reason to fear. Love that little ball of ants, they need it, they're a ball of ants for gods sake!

Nosebleed!

Today I had the biggest nosebleed I've ever had in my life! A friend suggested what I do to get rid of it via Facebook. Bring your head forward and plug your nose for about 5 minutes. I did that, but I think I did it wrong because soon afterward I felt like blacking out! It was WEIRD! I jus sat in my chair with a cold sweat and dizziness to the EXTREME! I could taste the blood trickling down my throat which made me feel sick...ECK!

So that's what happened to me today.

it sucked.

A few things

Now that I've added a few gadgets to the Slimecat blog, I feel like I need to post something new...

hmmmm...something new...

Ah! Here's a MAJOR thing! :

Have a look at Tentacle Tarte Studios I've started with my friend Amanda Nightingale-Terwoord!

Being the ditz I am sometimes... I didn't really update about the business on the Slimecat Blog.

Tentacle Tarte is our name and we do Graphic design, Illustration, Toy design, and even some baking!

At the moment I'm working to get a logo finished and sharp looking for Yggdrasil's Child.

Yggdrasil's Child, "Natural handmade soaps, candles, body products, and hemp jewellery"

I haven't tried any of the products yet, but one of my friends says they're spectacular. Her name is Sarah Paulette Bongers, she's a journalist, and she kindly wrote a review for Yggdrasil's Child.

Getting back to Tentacle Tarte, we have a show coming up in Kitchener, April 16th, called the Bloomin' Earth Festival, located at the Kitchener Market! There'll be tonnes of local handmade artisans selling their goods. Being a market day, we're anticipating a packed festival. Let's all hope for a nice sunny day!

We're focusing on toys at the festival, here's a picture of our handmade toys called Dinosquares :D

There's kind of a funny story behind this picture^^^^

Back to work now!

Slime Cat has a Friend!

We've moved! We have a Kitty too! Her name is Doom. She's a cute little black cat with adorable yellow moon eyes and a small tuft of white on her chest (kinda like an opening on a tux). Here are some photos of her:

Doom was adopted at the Humane Society in Kitchener. She was the last kitty of her family to be adopted...I guess everyone in Kitchener is superstitious or something. Doom was also born on site (which is apparently rare). Her name at the shelter was Tinkerbell... yeah, no comment there. They gave her that name so people would adopt her, but luckily they had no luck until we came! We immediately changed her name as soon as we saw her.

She's a happy little thing now.
