Today Jarvis somehow managed to take the entire door off one of our kitchen cupboards. o_O
He's becoming such a destructive force in the house these days! lol
He's also been sick the poor little guy. He's got some kind of virus that gave him a fever and a rash but the fever is gone now and he's getting better.
Matt's parents bought him an oil heater for his room to keep it warm at night and it's wonderful! It really helps keep him toasty at night. Before I was having to put up to 4 layers of clothing on him at night! Hopefully it will help him to sleep longer so I don't have to wake up so many times each night. This sickness (particularly when he had the fever) he was waking up every hour at some points in the night. Exhausting!!
He's as cute as ever though, and saying more words by the day. My favourite is still when he says 'no, no, no, no, no!' and shakes his finger. Lately he's also been saying 'bye bye' when he waves sometimes and he even said something that sounded an awful lot like 'thankyou' when I handed him his dummy one day. He also says 'quack quack' whenever he sees his ducky toys which is then followed by his version of a wiggles song where they sing 'quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack-a-doodle-doo' his version is more like 'quack, quack, quack, quack docoo docoo' or similar ...no doubt some of you other mothers on here know the song I mean!
He really loves the wiggles. I put his little baby sized couch in the lounge room and he sits there and watches the dvd and then sometimes stands up to have a little dance.
Jarvis is awesome. :D

So I'll be selling jewellery at the Wintersun markets Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It'll be fun! If you're going to be there come up and say hi! :D
I've been so, so busy making up heaps of new stock over the last couple of weeks it's been crazy!
I just finished doing up some wholesale catalogues in case some store owners ask since I figure people who own stores probably go along to find new stock... I got asked by a couple of people at the Garterbelt's & Gasoline market and I was so unprepared!
I'm so tired... bed soon... but first Lost! :D

This week Jarvis has started saying 'Oh no!'. He says it a lot around the house but last night when I was watching television a woman said 'Oh no!' and Jarvis repeated it. hahah Cutest thing ever!
So now he says 'Uh oh' and 'Oh no!'. He also tries to give kisses by putting his face forward and going Mmmmmm (he never does the 'uah!' bit or the kissy lips though) haha
He also now thinks it's funny to pull down my tracksuit pants if I'm standing at the sink or my workbench. Thanks Jarvis! lol
*edit* And I was just feeding him breakfast and it occured to him that it would be terribly funny if he opened his mouth to show me his half chewed food (quick oats & banana).
He's becoming such a cheeky little bugger! lol

| Internet.. |
[30 May 2008|09:12pm] |
Just wanted to post a quick message saying I might not have internet at times over the next few days... so if you don't hear from me I'm not being rude! Send me a txt or just wait til I get online. :D
Now... back to the real world...

| Wholesale! |

Lately I've been getting a few repeat orders from the stores I wholesale to... this is so cool because it seems like most of them will make a few purchases a year. Now all I need to do is get more stores on board!
If anyone knows of any stores that might like to stock my jewellery let me know!
Oh and I don't do consignment. I've had a lot of requests for consignment but I just won't do it. It's too much effort to keep track of... there are too many issues to consider (shoplifters/lost product etc) and quite frankly my wholesale prices are cheap enough for stores to just buy the product outright! I have a range of different wholesale packages for a range of different budgets. :)
So any store suggestions let me know! :D

I ♥ my geeky husband. He's my hero! ♥

I just lost most of my mp3 collection. :( :( :(
I had them on an external hard drive and I plugged that into Matt's computer to copy across a few of his mp3s that I didn't have. After copying them I looked on the external hard drive and most of my folders were gone. WTF?!
They were not in the trash or anywhere else. When I plugged the drive back into my computer they were not there either. The weird thing is that when I look at the hard drive properties it still says the same amount of space on the drive is taken up. So it's like they are still there somewhere but I can't access them. Does this mean they are corrupt and gone for ever or are they somehow recoverable?
HELP!!!?
On the positive I do have a lot of the mp3s backed up on another computer but I had saved them all into specific folders (by genres or just similar sounds) and fixed up all the names and stuff... basically it would be hours of work to do that again and I just don't have the time anymore. :(

I just found out that ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) countessolivia is dead. :(
I heard the rumour last week but had no idea if it was true. It did make sense after her last post though. :(
I never actually met her although when I was in Chile we talked about meeting up. She was moving overseas a week or so later though and we didn't manage to find the time to meet.
Claudia I can't believe it is true. I hope you have peace now wherever you are.

| Burn... |

So I burnt my hand on the oven a couple of days ago. It's starting to seem as though I am a disaster in the kitchen, no?
The nail I sliced through a couple of weeks ago is still healing.
Basically I went to get something out of the oven and my hand hit one of the oven bars. It's not the first time this has happened to me but this time I am blaming the fact that Jarvis was in the kitchen and I was trying to make sure he wasn't anywhere near me/the oven at the time so I wasn't paying full attention to myself.
Anyway... at first the burn hurt surprisingly little and was kind of whitish. It wasn't until last night that the burn started hurting. I'm guessing that means it's a rather bad burn.
I am lame. At least we had delicious savoury muffins though. :)
In other news we took full advantage of the council clean-up this week. We put out sooo much junk from under the house. All the good stuff was gone within a day or two. I love that people come and take the good stuff. I probably wouldn't even put half of it out there if it wasn't for the scavengers. I put my old couch out because I knew someone would take it. The cool thing was that one of the scavengers actually asked to see what else we had under the house and then paid us $120 for a couple of pieces of furniture. Believe me they were nothing fancy and certainly not worth much (both were broken). He was a furniture restorer though so he obviously figured they were worth it.
Now to get back to painting those prototypes. I might even finish them today! Before anyone gets too excited they aren't new designs. I have to remake old prototypes because the last factory destroyed them. I know, I know I could use current stock but I am a perfectionist so my prototypes have to be absolutely perfect. Most people can hardly tell the difference but I just have to feel that they are 100% perfect. I am doing a repaint of Cherry Girl, though, because I decided I'd like her face to be a little more pinup girl next doorish. At the moment I think it's more evil minx.
Once these babies are done... and Wintersun is over... and the website is updated (boy does that need to happen) THEN I'll be starting on new designs. XD I can't wait!!

| Jarvis is SO cute! |
[16 May 2008|07:51am] |

Whenever Jarvis gets hold of my mobile phone he puts it up to his ear and says 'Awoo?' or 'Bhoo?' into it. Then he pauses for a bit and usually goes on with a bit more baby babble.
CUTEST THING EVER!!! XD
Never thought I'd find something that would make getting up at 6am an enjoyable thing! lol

| GIANT Kewpie for sale! |
[10 May 2008|07:26am] |
I'm selling this awesome GIANT Kewpie doll (approx 50cm .. 20")... only because I really don't have space for all this stuff anymore.
You can see the auction here...
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250246341458&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=015
...he also comes with 4 smaller kewpies.
I'll be selling a lot of dolls in the next month or so. Pullips included! So if any of you Pullip lovers are after something let me know!
Maybe some of you are saying 'Ohhhh but why are you selling your dolls?!" ...well I just want to get rid of this clutter! I don't have enough space for work in my workspace! I have so little free time (because Jarvis is such a full time job) that I need to work efficiently or I get nothing done. I will be keeping my favourite dolls of course... probably half of them to start with. My super giant Kittycat Black dolly is definitely staying...
...for EVER!! :D
requiemart you did such an amazing job on her!
