SQUEEE!!!!!! My quaggan tank received 1st Prize (so basically second place) in Guild Wars 2 Halloween Diorama Contest www.guildwars2.com/en/communit… Finding out today made an awesome birthday present. 
I am overwhelmed with how many people love the quaggan plushies that I have made! I am doing my best to get more done as soon as I can but this is my hobby so there is a limit to how many hours I can dedicate to it. But I love making them and it is a great stress reliever and creative outlet for me so I WILL be doing more. There is a quaggan commission I have been working hard on for the last month which is finally nearing completion. It is based off one of the quaggans in game and I will say right now I will NOT do another one of these. It looks awesome but I restarted the outfit twice to get the right look and since I could not find pre-made beads suitable for it I have made all the beads by hand from polymer clay. Making hundreds of beads by hand is a very time consumptive process. If I didn't have my rock tumbler I would probably be mad from trying to sand out the fingerprints but tumblers can not be rushed and I am waiting for the last batch to finish today. Almost done. Staring at the tumbler doesn't make it work faster.
October saw my house get hit with colds twice so that put me behind in my plans. My poor little quaggan was so sick on Halloween he didnt get to go trick or treating. We are all better now though and I hope there will not be any more colds this season. I also have a side project I need to start soon: refinishing two dressers I bought for my kids. The small dressers they had were great when they were toddlers but now they are older and have more clothes than I do they need bigger dressers. I picked up two wonderful old dressers for $40 at a garage sale that just need a little refinishing. I think I will need to get a heater for my garage though to do the work, the temperature dropped pretty quickly last month.
Back to crafting and bouncing up and down about winning. (For those counting, this is the 9th GW art contest I have won/placed/honorable mentioned in)

Summer progression
I realized that 2016 is already halfway done now. Eeeps.
My goal for one craft a day has been going a little iffy but I have not forgotten about it. Count wise I might be behind but I think I will be able to catch up still for averaging things. I am happy I was able to get a bunch of circuit board jewelry done and I have been working on remaking some previous jewelry pieces to take to craft shows this fall. My plushie making has slowed down and currently no commissions means I am able to finish off personal projects that were sidelined or even start a few more. Hancocks Fabrics is closing and I bought a whole bunch for projects I had in mind
Common questions answered
Hello all! I am working on revising my FAQ but in the mean time I hope this can help answer a few questions.
No, I do not give out or sell my patterns. My plushies are my art work and they are finished products only.
Yes, I would probably like to make you one IF I have the time and depending on how many requests are ahead of you. My commission list is view-able at http://koreena.kirins.net/contact.html . I am trying to keep people up to date on when it opens and closes through Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/koreenascreations
Yes, I do still make plushies, I am just really slow because things keep popping up. (recent example: Hu
Well at least it was a new cold
I got hit hard last week by a nasty head cold. The kind that at the worst part of it you nearly pass out trying to walk to the fridge because of sudden weakness. So Valentine's Day was a write-off this year (even though we normally don't do much at all over it). I've got 9 days of house cleaning to catch up on now and putting the finishing touches on the 4 quaggans I had to hide (along with my materials) so I wouldn't get germs on them. 2 were at 95% done and 2 were at 75% done so at least now that I am healthy I can get those out asap. I think my body is laughing at me, saying "Silly Koreena, you are not allowed to meet due dates". Now I
No more coffee. Sigh.
Isn't it amazing when you find the answer to a problem was so simple that you never even thought of it? Due to certain events I have gone off the bipolar medication (second attempt started having very unwanted side effects as well). So once again I was doing research for other ways of dealing with it when I came across something interesting: caffeine allergy can mimic the symptoms of bipolar. I still have to see my general practitioner and get an allergy test done but I decided to cut out as many (if not all) sources of caffeine in my diet in the meantime. I definitely experienced signed of withdrawal last week but that is starting to fa
