You may have noticed the blog has been quiet for the last few months. While the US continues to struggle to manage the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all of our lives have been on hold. Personally, I've found it difficult to focus on work at a time when everything is going wrong.

This is one of those posts that took me a year to write. For no other reason than laziness, it took me a year to re-do my DIY resin coasters after the first time failed! Why did they fail? I'll touch on that below. I was so excited to try making resin coasters with confetti, so I decided to use a mixture of sequins and various sized glitter to make confetti coasters.
