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 fade away now. I have a feeling if my memory was better that the stretches I tended to have no coffee would match with the almost-but-not-quite-flu symptoms I kept getting and that my mental issues might correlate with my caffeine consumption as well. Once I am a few months caffeine free I will know for sure but this really seems like it might actually be the solution and all those delicious foods and drinks might have been what caused me so much misery.
I have managed to get some progress done, 2 quaggans left on their journeys today and I have 5 more nearing completion. One had to be completely restarted because cuddle fabric is very unforgiving to mistakes made at 1 am. I also believe I have finally found the solution to my backpack problem! Tomorrow I am picking up the last items needed to try that project out again and if this works then there will be great rejoicing!
I am also moving away from my Etsy shop to my Storenvy koreena.storenvy.com shop now. Details for commissions can now be found at my website koreena.kirins.net (commission queue is still closed for now as I catch up. The list is on there too so you can see how much I have to go.) I have a few slightly failed large quaggans (they ended up being a little too athletic in the rump and not the plump butterballs they should be. I am going to make myself a plaque that reads "If it is after 10pm NO MORE CRAFTING!") but I am going to see if I can turn them into narwhals or something.

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
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
