Hi everyone, so I took a few years off of Deviant art, and now that I'm in a less hectic time I plan on posting and commenting a lot more. Since I had so many messages I had to delete everything so if you really needed to talk to me about something, please note me and I'll make sure to get back to you.
Ok, so on to the fun stuff. I got married, I now live in my own house, and I have a beautiful little boy Alexander who was born in April of this year. We now have 2 beagles, Basil, and Pepper, Boy and girl respectively. 6 rescued kitties, named from oldest to youngest Cuddles, Muffin, Zoey, Abby, Ginger and Kit. I currently breed crested geckos and they'll feature pretty heavily on here once I can get everything downloaded. I also have 3 rescued parakeets named Peanut, Hazel and Filbert. Two doves named Pepsi and Angel. 16 snakes, 3 tarantulas and of course the wonderful Russian tortoise Princess, Natasha. I used to have more snakes, but when I was in the hospital having Alex, the cats knocked some of thier cages down and killed the smallest ones. Now I'm building everyone back up and are going to attempt to breed them for the first time this year/next year when they're in season.
Our house is currently under construction. We made over my reptile room into a nursery for Alex, so Jay is building a room in our basement for everyone. We're also constructing a laundry room, a second living room, a bar and a bathroom down there... it's a pretty big basement!! Outside our house we are finishing up our pond with edging and plants and the like. Some of you may remember the bluegill and perch I had as pets... well they're out there now, and they've tripled in size! When we go into the pond for routine matainence, they nibble at our toes.
As for hobbies, I still paint, and draw, and make jewelry, and now I've begun to learn how to cook a lot more, you'll probably get to see some of the dishes I liked the most on here. I've also taken up canning. I've made quite a few jellies and jams s well as fruit butters, and so far I've not had a single one that hasn't set for me. We've also done a huge batch of spaghetti sauce that is super delicious!
So as you can probably tell, I'm still busy but I wanted to get back on here and share some of the stuff I've been creating. I'm taking orders to do custom paintings so I can afford the shelving for my critter room. I will also be making a bunch more jewelry as well so if you see anything you like, don't hesitate to let me know!
