Productivity
9 Jul
I have done so much today.
- Two hours of D’Nanny’s housework. I learned people who don’t move things when they dust shit me.
- Paid bills for D’Olds
- Returned a jack hammer D’Daddy had hired over the weekend (and got to pocket the deposit, hooray!)
- Bought some things to make a casserole for dinner
- Did banking for D’Olds
- Showered, dried hair, ate, slept and all of that, too.
It doesn’t seem like much on paper but it was time consuming and involved lots of driving.
To make up for the crushing disappointment of missing out on my Carlton Ware bowl, I bought a lobster shaped metal jelly mold on eBay last night for $3 which is a bit more appropriate for my current financial state. I got a corn shaped jelly mold (another of my favorite things) at Vinnie’s for 50c when Bestie was back, I need to get some hooks so I can hang them in my study. I’ve loved these molds for years but didn’t buy them when I saw them around because I don’t have my own house to display them in, but at this rate if I wait until I have my own house these items will only be found in cases in museums, so best buy them now and hang onto them, plus every time I start to get into something it seems to become popular and cost a tonne more than it should. I think I’ll be the only person who can move out and decorate an entire house but not have anything that is actually useful such as furniture or appliances. Clearly, my priorities are in order 
For the moment I am going to make some phone calls and make up an ad for my extraordinary tutoring services then I will work out how to make a casserole, I am thinking I will just tip everything into a baking dish and chuck it in the oven for a couple of hours. I am going going to make some jewelery, so keep looking at my shop (and buy some stuff!) (Please?)
Excuse me missy. You have a hell of a lot to answer for. Because you pointed us (read: Me) in the direction of Etsy, I now want to spend all the money I ever earnt on bundles of fabrics. Aaaaaahhh. It’s possibly my new favourite site ever. And, there is a strong possibility I might buy some of your jewellery in the near future, too.
Amanda, I am truly sorry, Etsy is possibly the greatest site in the entire world. It warms my crafty heart so see there are so many god damned talented people in the world who do such a beautiful job with their chosen craft, I can only hope to compete with such loveliness. It’s a wonderful place to spend your money because they are incredibly strict about things being hand made by the person selling them, so you’d never get cheap dodgy stuff from there, it’s all top shelf.
P.S Don;t forget blog readers get to buy my jewelery in Aussie dollars, not in USD as listed on Etsy.!
oh my goodness – Etsy is WONDERFUL. I found the most incredible necklace that I just wanted to munch up.
Your earring are wonderful. I especially love the pink sparkly ones, and the lantern earrings are gorgeous.
I will try to wear earrings again!
Rosanna, yay! Some of the stuff on there is just so stunning, you really wonder why places like Prouds and Wallace Bishop exist when there is so much REALLY gorgeous handmade jewelery around, I suppose if there was such large quantities the magic would be lost.
I’m glad you like my earrings, the lantern ones are my favourite
