New Cat!

Introducing .... Rosemoon!

We would like to welcome Rosemoon into our family! Our newly acquired cat has made herself at home - in one of the lesser used scratching posts. She is currently hiding in the lower half, but seems content to stay there. Even though she is only 11 months, she already weighs eight pounds. No doubt her Maine Coon half will catch up to her fast and she'll weigh much more by the time she's finished growing.

Crow is beside herself with excitement. So far our other cat seems cautious but accepting, and our dog is excited to see the new addition. Hopefully Rosemoon will easily adjust to our haphazard family.

Coffee and Ukuleles

As a side note, Dana Street Roasting Company is good coffee. They roast their own beans (as the name implies). The service is great and the people are friendly. They offer live music sometimes and are generally an awesome place to hang out (they have outside tables). Oh, and dogs are welcome – at least outside. Ask for a water bowl! Also, they have a ukulele club!

Random ukulele facts:

1896, from Hawaiian ‘ukulele, lit. “leaping flea,” from ‘uku “louse, flea” + lele “to fly, jump, leap.” So called from the rapid motion of the fingers in playing it. It developed from a Portuguese instrument introduced to the islands c.1879. Abbreviated form uke is attested from 1915.

Our first Home!

You can now find our items in a physical location! It's just like having our first home. 

If you are a resident of the Bay Area (California, U.S.A.) then go to Mountain View and check out the Mountain View General store on Dana Street. Directly across from Dana Street Roasting Company (mmm… good coffee).  If you're a Bay Area resident, go check out the store and see some of our products first hand. She also carries the Bookworld Series.  The Mountain View General store also has a Twitter, and a Facebook page!

I updated the store! We welcome "Frog" and "Beauty" to our knobling family. There are also pictures of a Knobling I made for the owner of MountainView General store. Dubbing ‘Crystal Bird of Paradise’, she now lives in the General store and is definitely the most complex knobling I’ve created to date.

Watch out for leprechauns! They should be coming to live in Coyote’s Blessings within the next few days.

On a side note, Gray Kitty remains in our store, the person who commissioned her still has not picked her up. :(

Christmas Ornaments and more!

This has been quite a day, busy busy. Between cleaning up for a gaming event tomorrow night and finally putting the boxes of Halloween decorations back in the garage, Crow and I have been on the go most of the day. She did make two new ornaments, and I added one to the shop.

Our snowman is ready to come home with someone special and perhaps cause a little mischief on the way. The second ornament Crow designed is a toy airplane; however the wheels refuse to stay on during the cooking process so she's waiting for it to harden and cool off. When it does, she'll attach the wheels so we can put it in the shop.

In addition to the Christmas ornaments I'd like to introduce a new expansion to our shop - the Andromeda Galaxy category! We currently have two products based on creatures from the Andromeda Galaxy. The Moreena bird and the snat. You'll find mention and description of the snat in "DOT" (Bookworld Series Volume 2). The Moreena bird has yet to appear in any of my writing.

Christmas Ornaments!

We have three awesome ornaments in stock! Check them out and look for more coming soon. Thank Crow for her continued amazing designs. Took some pictures of them on our (still bare) tree. Now we're really off to trim it (and have a nice Merlot).

Greetings of the Many Seasons!

Whether celebrating Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanza, Yule or some other holiday, December is filled with celebrations and parties. In fact there's probably something to celebrate every day of the month. At least according to About.com. Coyote's Blessings is geared up for the holiday rush with the store's updates, a new addition to our store, and some great Christmas ornaments.

Crow is busy working on Christmas ornaments - she's already made several designs and they will be added to the inventory as soon as they cool down. We only have a few ready today; however there are more to come in the next week.

I added a new Category - Books! Now you can purchase my published written material. We have a limited supply of copies; however you can always order on line from the publisher as well (Xlibris) or from Amazon.

We're also proud to introduce - our CafePress shop! We like to consider it an extension of the main store. There aren't many products in it at the moment; however you can currently find a sampling of some Coyote's Blessings support clothing and items, as well as a rare look into Crow's other amazing artistic abilities as we showcase her other artwork. Currently on display are products with the "Andromeda Galaxy" design. The majority of my stories are located in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Our prices have changed slightly to reflect shipping costs. Thanks for understanding. Order before the 15th and we'll guarantee it will get there before Christmas.

Now the update's finished, we're off to trim our tree!

And We're Back!

October has come and gone, now the rest of the holidays are rolling into perspective. I hope everyone is planning something fun with people who care about them.

October marked our first successful shipped commission! The previous commissions were all hand-delivered. We created a candle holder with the colors and patterns of a living snake. Sammy the Snake (Candle Holder) made his way home, and the pleased recipient posted some pictures of the two Sammys posing together.

We have a new batch of Sky Sculptures from Lynx. Though none of the new ones have wind chimes, the new colors are fantastic. She also created a tiny wind-chime, which is awesome.

Crow and I will have more products coming up soon!
