Winter Wildlife
Threadless has a new challenge.
It’s called “Winter Wildlife” and it’s right up my alley because I like winter and wild animals. Even my main store, “Fox Shiver”, was supposed to be about foxes and wolves in winter. But then I somehow switched to drawing cats. Maybe it’s time to add something new with winter and wild creatures?
I will try to find time to take part in the challenge. It ends in just 15 days.
I’ve been thinking…
I’ve lived here, in Poland, my whole life. But now, that I think about it, what would be a good reason to live in one place for such a long time? Poland is not that great, really. Or rather, there are many things wrong with Poland and it often starts with the Catholic Church, who has a powerful influence on laws that are passed. But this is not really the post about that. Even if Poland was an amazing and fair country — would that be a reason enough to live here all my life when there are so many possibilities?
For the past two weeks, I’ve been thinking about leaving Poland. I, of course, have not really thought it through yet. But I think I will spend Christmas here, with my family, and then I might leave in January. I don’t know where would I travel to yet. And there are so many things I need to do here before I can leave. And I obviously don’t have enough money for all that, but I will figure it out.
Noodle the Dog
Have you heard about Noodle? It’s a hilarious pug that sleeps a lot. The owner now has an official Threadless store — most likely because he wants to earn money to buy tons of snacks for his cute dog. Understandable.
I was lucky enough to be given an opportunity to create a design for his store. Here is the store. And this is my design:
Hope you like it 🙂

Back to our cat book
My brother has resumed work on our cat book. If you don’t know what I am talking about, here is the first post I wrote about it. The book is about a house full of cats. There will be seven areas in total. We started with the kitchen. After that we worked on the library, the garden, and the attic.
Now I am working on the toy room. My brother drew the initial sketch and mapped out larger furniture:
Now it’s my job to add all the details: toys, book, stuffed animals, and dozens of cats.

Cotton prices
I’ve seen tweets and articles proclaiming that cotton prices have hit a 9 year high and that we might soon need to pay more for clothes. So, I checked the history of cotton prices in the last 20 years, and I must say, I didn’t think cotton prices fluctuate that much.
It’s a nice day (so far)
This time of year again
The time before Christmas is always so busy for artists and sellers like me. I have been spending a lot of time lately uploading all my designs, adding tags, descriptions, enabling all new products and colors that were added since I last did that. It’s a lot of work.
But it will all be worth it. The Black Friday sales and Christmas shopping bring me a lot of money every year. If you are an artist, then remember to upload as many designs as you can by November. And add all the tags and promote on Pinterest or wherever you promote. We can all rest later 🙂
