frizzelstix is 4!

I worked all February hoping to launch a fabulous new website with some fabulous new surprises in honor of my blog's 4th birthday. I ran into a bunch technical issues so nothing is how I wanted it to be.

So with a wimpy-yet-sad-horn-toot-toot I give you my new website...

I'm having major color shifting issues between computers (the colors looks great on my Mac laptop!) and I think I made the page too big for standard PC screens. Also, I tried to open a shop but I'm waiting for suppliers so there's nothing in there yet. But hey, I added a bio page - that's a positive!! Back to the drawing board...

**NOTE: I did some tweaking. I figured out the text link thingy and scaled things back a bit. I'm hoping the color issue on my work PC is just that I have a really old and crappy monitor. Thanks for all the comments, they are really helpful!!

february flashback

February was a blur. I have been busy working on revamping my website and getting some work together to set off on a new direction. I have been staying away from the internet on purpose to help keep me focused. Hopefully I will be up and running soon and back surfing & blogging regularly so please stay tuned!! Here are some February highlights...

1. I bought this beautiful piece from Geninne... she's so good. I missed my chance a while ago so when I found she was running another batch I jumped on it. It reminds me of me and D in our winter hats. Lovely!! Shop here.

2. We had mexican with the family one night and I handed my 15 month old niece half of a tortilla. She proceeded to wipe her face with it thinking it was a napkin. Ha - so cute!!

3. This piece has everything I love - some woods, a hungry bear and a ghost! It's by Liz Riccardi who's amazing. She creates and blogs and sells stuff too. Very cool and affordable.

4. Smashed up my car when a deer hit me. And no, I wasn't up north but returning back to work after lunch in the suburbs?!?! I was fine and the deer was knocked out but eventually got up and ran away (poor thing). I still haven't got my car back. Talk about scary!!

5. Updated my blog for the new template layout features and lost half of my links. Ugh!!!

6. I got this in the mail all the way from Japan. It's to die for. I'm chomping at the bit to get started on a project. The embroidery technique is so delicate. Anyone know Japanese? Thanks Laurie for the link!!

7. Celebrated all the winter birthdays.
