Instead of reading about me- do you wanna see my shop? It's here
http://www.lennymud.etsy.com
Lenny is the name of my studio cat. I make the pots and Lenny breaks them: this way I never run out of shelf space.
Lenny is not for sale. Probably not.
I know my shop name makes me sound like a 50 year old man who smokes cigars, but I am a female who is sometimes told that she looks ten years younger than her real age. (My husband says the nicest things in the dark. When he's drunk.) I am the mother to two adorable children that I like to call The Spawn.
I like to make stuff. Some days I like to work with clay and other days I like to draw or paint. Whatever helps me avoid the housework. I work a busy day job--Etsy is a hobby or perhaps a midlife crisis. Read below for more about me, or you are invited to stalk me on my facebook fan page here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lennymud/179831098733257

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions:
WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER MY CONVO ABOUT WHEN YOU'LL HAVE THAT MUG BACK IN STOCK?
I get an average of 50-60 messages per day and honestly, when I look at the pile of them I feel like the only sensible thing to do is go have a nap. I'm sorry that i am bad about communicating. Like most people, I do respond to constant nagging and a stern tone of voice. Or if it's really really realllllly important you can try emaiing me at LVMud (at) aol and putting the word URGENT in caps into the subject line.
WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME WHEN AN ITEM WILL BE BACK IN STOCK?
Because the Universe laughs at me when I do this. And then one of The Spawn gets an ear infection, I am given extra work at my day job, and run out of yellow paint. Every electrical device from computer to kiln starts to conspire against me and at the same time my IT guy (also known as sexyhusbandomine) has to go out of town. It will be a perfect storm of disappointment...so I don't make promises.
WHY CAN'T YOU RESERVE AN ITEM FOR ME?
It's called Fairness. I cannot be swayed with offers of extra money, sad stories, or the fact that you are related to me. I'm a Mom after all. Making sure things are fair is like a super power.
CAN YOU WHOLESALE?
Nope, sorry.
ARE YOU AWARE PEOPLE ARE COPYING YOU?
Yep. But thanks for watching my back.
CAN YOU MAKE A CUSTOM ITEM
Bwaaaa Haaa Haaaaaaa- hey some tea just came out my nose. I mean, no, sorry.
CAN WE BE FRIENDS?
If you're buying, I'm drinking. I am a member of TeamT and used to be on the board of the New York Etsy Team. I taught a workshop at the Etsy Success Symposium in 2011 called the Greedy Crafter- the video is still floating around on here- the first 30 minutes of it are DREADFUL - skip the part about photography is my advice- I had no idea what the heck I was talking about anyway.
And yes, it's ok if you call me Lenny.
I have two other etsy accounts but neither are active- Fairyfunny and LorrieMud.
