No, I have not become a barista 
My son is going to school 1/2 an hour from our house and he is only ther for 2 1/2 hours, so it doesn’t make sense for me to drive home just to turn around and drive back into town. I was a little overwhelmed with having to spend 2 1/2 hours in town doing something everyday!!! I am quite the homebody and I enjoy my flexible schedule – I realize now that I have taken that for granted.
I have a long list of felted items that I need to work on and my mom suggested I take my felting to Starbucks. This made me laugh at first because I am not a coffee drinker and the idea of needle felting in a coffee shop just seemed silly.
It took some gumption to pull my felting stuff out of my bag and start needle felting on Monday, but now I have become quite comfortable there. The atmosphere is pleasant and they have some wonderful breakfast items. The blueberry oat bars are awesome!!! Here is a recipe for blueberry oat bars that the creator claims to be just as good, if not better. I will have to make some this weekend.
I have accomplished a LOT with my block of undistracted time…
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
and today I helped at my son’s school. Along with checking stuff off my to do list, I am also educating people about wool and felting! Several people have been quite intrigued with the process.
I am looking forward to a few days at home
I have a feeling you will be getting offers to buy your needle-felting soon. Maybe you should start needle felting coffee cup scenes while you’re there! Could blossom into a new business venture….
WowZa! I might have to send you some custom orders, lady! Those are great!!!!
Wow–those look really good Shannon! I really love the Dachshund! Could you please NOT make them look so nice so you WON’T have 20+ orders to fulfill so that you WILL have time to make one or two for me
Thanks everybody! My ‘special’ friends get moved to the top of the list
It is also a great place for people watching…
Nice job on the puppies! How many breeds are you going to do? A spindle and roving is another good way to pass the time waiting for the kids, believe me, I’ve been there!
I like the title of your post… glad I had talked to you earlier about “working at Starbucks,” otherwise I would have been floored.
Looks like it’s working out great for you there! I would have been very embarassed to pull anything out there to work on… it would have taken me a while, and a coffee to get me going. 
Funny how shy we can be for no reason. Great job, the are awesome!
I’m not sure how many breeds I’m going to do, most of the breeds that I have done so far are custom orders. The little dog on the green background is a Pequeno Podengo
I am getting better about not being embarassed when I drag my felting stuff out
