Sleepy Cat Productions

Sleepy Cat Productions Hi! My name is Coco (she/her) and I have no idea what I’m doing. Like, in general really, not just now in this specific moment. So welcome! We aren’t Gucci here.

I live in Gainesville, Florida with my cats and my husband. I have maybe two friends, two degrees; a bachelor’s in art history and anthropology, and a master’s in library science. I may or may not have failed because I am currently not using either of those degrees. At 34, I am still trying to figure life out but what I do know is that I love being an artist, I love antiques, vintage, and oddities

, and I love sharing my passions with other people. Sleepy Cat was formed from that general idea. I’ve watched my kitties sleep and I’ve thought many times, “I wish I could be that at peace without a care in damn world”. Well, if you’ve met me you know I’m neurotic enough to never be at fully at peace and I am certainly too far gone to ever live without a care in the world, bless my heart. However, I am at peace just enough when I make art or scavenge for just the right vintage needlepoint, that I feel content enough to continue with those passions. We aren’t even Walmart at best, but we are here nonetheless. Check out the store to view and purchase my artwork (please because I am actually a sad, broke little artist person). In the store you’ll also find unique antiques, vintage wares, oddities, and other random stuff that I like and I think you’ll like too!

Update. I'm down 65 pounds, which would be much more exciting if the trade off wasn't so cruddy. I'm trying to stay grateful and hopeful, but I'm mostly borrowing hope and gratitude from my support network because it's hard to get it together on my own. I have a lot of work to do to strengthen my lungs after being stuck in a bed for three months. I'm now doing weekly infusions and so far I've only had one, but I think, fingers crossed, it made a little difference. I pray every day that I'll wake up and feel like myself again, be able to eat, not be sick and in pain, but honestly it's the small things that I find myself getting happy over. Today was a rough day but I did manage to exist in more than one room today. Should anyone want to help us out, things are rough with me not being able to work, though I'm applying desperately to everything I can think of every day. I would rather have a good job lead, so if anyone has a lead on a masters level job opening or a librarian/ research position please let me know.

Hi guys. Update. My doctor found that I had a stricture and needed an endoscopy to fix it. That was one of the things causing daily pain and vomiting. We did that at 6am yesterday but afterwards I was in horrible pain like I’ve never felt before and Jeff called ems. I ended up having a leak from where the surgeon was fixing the stricture. They were going to have emergency surgery but have decided to admit me for what could be a while, to monitor the leak and see if and when I will need surgery. So that’s where I am now. It’s been a horrible two months and I’m trying to stay positive. I previously posted that I lost my job because I wasn’t able to go back as quickly as they wanted me to, and I wanted to sell my artwork. Unfortunately I am in too much pain, and am in the hospital too often, to do that. I hate asking but between losing my job and hospital bills, I need help. If you’re able to help that’s wonderful. If not, I love good vibes, cards, letters, texts, etc. I just want to feel connected. Love you all.

Hey guys. I recently had a life changing and important major surgery, but… Cortney Gruver braucht deine Unterstützung für Help keep us afloat after surgery

Hi guys! Sorry it’s been a while! Updates:

the website is down for a little bit while I make some adjustments. It should be back up mid week!

I had major surgery and it’s been over a month of complications so I haven’t been able to create or sell or really do anything. I’m hoping to make some medication adjustments and be better soon with new pieces, and our new podcast!

I have a few new categories I’m hoping to highlight in the coming year: mystery book dates, a Victorian mystery series of letters that I’m hoping to package and send out (maybe a subscription?), and lots of vintage ware and antiques!

Thank you all so much for being so patient.

Xoxo - Coco

Something inspiring comes this way!

Coming soon to Spotify! A podcast about the people that inspire me. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the okayish. Learn about what inspired me to start my business, and WHO continues to inspire me every day.

People Inspire Me is a podcast for even the most pessimistic (me) of people, the most optimistic people, and the inbetween people, to gain a little weekly inspiration by the everyday people doing all the hard things. I cannot wait to share this with you! 💙🩷🖤
