HEALTH UPDATE

Hey everyone.
I'm doing better in the fact that my throat isn't swollen (my glands still are) and it doesn't hurt anymore.  However, today I have been plagued with a migraine so bad that I'm light and sound sensitive, nauseous and vomiting.  Medicine works for about an hour and then I'm shaking and the pain hits worse, but I have to wait so that I can take more without over dosing.

I am so sorry everyone.  I am going to try to work on some pieces, but there are no guarantees...

.....I'm going to go curl up in the dark corner now....

Sick

I'm really sick, and have been all week, so I apologize for not posting very often.
However, I did join this group called "Color Combo Challenge" (you can find them on facebook at the fan page (link) ).  Basically, you have the option of joining a contest each week.  You vote for the weeks color scheme and then you have til Sunday to finish the piece.  However, you can NOT upload your photo until then! I did mine on Monday or Tuesday (and I'm planning on sending it out to one of my models; but I do have more beads, so this is going to be added to the webstore soon as I make more) and had to wait all this time.

I won't lie.  I've been sick, so it's not really been on my mind.

"Summer Solstice"

So, what do you think?

Panda Hat!

I was commissioned about a month ago to make a Panda beanie... :)  I'm not going to write much about it, just wanted to share the awesomeness!


Here's the lovely E wearing her hat :)

June 4th, 2011

I'm am home from my friend's wedding... She was beautiful!  The entire ceremony was gorgeous!
I'm exhausted from not getting much sleep the past week, so I'll post pictures and more of a blog post laters.

Although, I need to give a warning--when angry toddlers YANK on my spiral necklaces, two spirals (at least) will come unspiraled and a link will break....  However, MY toddler has never broken them so when my fellow bridesmaid brought me her broken necklace (two hours after the ceremony, she at least got through that) I was floored.  Of course, her little girl had only gotten about 5 hours of sleep the night before AND she was one of the flower girls--so you mom's out there know what happened with THAT.

Alright.  Good evening.  I need a nap while my daughter is sleeping.  And to get out of this fancy dress before my bad luck ruins it.

Have a great day!!!!

NEW PRICES

Hi everyone!  I would like to wish you all a happy, warm, safe, wonderful summer!  I hope and pray that you are able to get out and enjoy the sunshine and get to a pool of some sort (or even the beach, if you're that lucky).  I'm hoping to take my little one to our pool next week sometime.

I also wanted to let you know, I'm going to be raising my prices on July 15, 2011.  I've not been accounting for my labor nor did I know the correct formula for pricing my items.  SO, you should definitely take advantage of the prices NOW.  (And if you want to get a head start on your Christmas gifts, head on over to my store by clicking this LINK where you can customize your gifts with the pull down menus or shoot me an e-mail at kypressdesigns@gmail.com )

Well, I am going to quit chatting you up for today--I have a wedding present to finish for this weekend and still have to go in to the restaurant today, as well.  Again, I wish you all a wonderful summer!
