New Website Published!!

http://coolbeansart.webs.com/

It is not the one I paid for several months ago with Green Geeks.  That one was not meant for non-technie people.  This site, however, is so easy!  A coworker told me about it today and all that got published only took me two hours tonight!  It would probably have been even more complete if my internet hadn't slowed down (debugging issue).  Best of all, this host is FREE!!!  I'll continue building it this week, so please check back for the finished product! 

Yippy!!!

Queen of Hearts

The ruff is done for this year's Halloween costume. The bustier for Flyday 2013 arrived early so that can be used with this outfit, too!  All that's left to make are the shoulder poofs. Ya know, like Snow White has in the Disney movie.

Felt Things!

The latest and greatest barrette! Now improved with sewn on snap clip and embellishments. No more glue!

What To Do When You're Home Sick

The last two days, I've woken up with sinus pressure behind my eyes.  It makes me want to sleep until ridiculous times of day (for me, at least).  Yesterday, I actually made myself go to work, which was dumb because I could barely keep my eyes open.  I only stayed 20 minutes and came right back home to go to sleep.  This morning, I didn't even bother trying to get ready for work.  I realized within five minutes of my alarm going off that it just wasn't going to happen today, so no need to force myself.  It's hard to be sure when if you're really feeling better or not when you're at home because the things that make me realize I don't feel well typically aren't at home.  To keep myself from going stir crazy, I've read most of Mindy Kaling's book and I've done some small art projects that have been piling up on the work table in my studio. 

This is a t-shirt I finished today - get the pun?
