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. Seriously, like 4 shopping carts. (60-80% around anniversary time means I got a lot of fabric for my hobby. I love my husband.) I am putting the finishing touches on two skull goblets this week, one of the projects that was sidelined due to other priorities.
Last year I built myself a large raised garden in the back yard. So far this year my ability to grow things is better than last years, but sadly our area is in a moderate drought and I cant afford to water it as long as needed to grow really well. But I did still get some delicious veggies so it wasn't a waste and i did learn a bit from it. Next year should be better.
For the last two months I have been working on improving my health and just generally taking better care of myself. I feel much better after taking a good look at my eating habits and making healthy changes and after starting a moderate exercise routine. I didn't have the motivation or desire to really implement these changes before but I am really glad I have been able to now. Embracing technology a little more has helped keep me on track. I'm not great at tasks and motivations but small improvements are better than being a slug.
I am a quarter done my to-do list for the summer, guess I better get back at it.

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
Happy 2013!
It is a new year already and I am not sure what really happened with the last two months. They kind of just sped right past me. My resolution is the same as always: to get more done and to actually exercise and get healthier. I want to be productive and not to make excuses for when I fail that but I also want to explain why things are not occurring on the timelines I promised before. Thus:
1) The cold/virus/whatever that never wants to go away returned yet again. I am really hoping we are done with the sicknesses, my kids are both past the limit according to school rules. While I didn't get as sick as everyone else (just fevers and
