11th-Nov-2009 02:34 am - Ugh!
Kareena Zerefos // rat & boy
Ugh I feel so drained. Graham is teething like crazy, and I'm trying to make things on a regular basis. But every time I get new supplies I feel like I never have enough or I don't have the right things, etc. It's a push pull kind of deal, I always come up with ideas as I'm buying the supplied and then when they finally arrive in the mail I get stumped. :(

New earrings I've added:



But I have made several nice pieces, I've even added fabric covered button bobby pins to the collection.




I've given it really good thought to changing the name of my company from 'City Noise Vintage' to the 'Old Owl' just because a lot of my pieces include owls, and even though i work with vintage findings etc. my pieces aren't necessarily 'vintage', they are more vintage inspired than anything. Anyway I'm trying to get everything up and running and looking more "professional".

Logo:

Essentially the owl won't be so young looking, this is just a rough draft, but I'm sure you get the idea of this. I'm trying to come up with a quirky tag line for my jewelry but I seem to be drawing a blank, any suggestions?

It's funny to think how much he changes on a regular day to day basis

I've been up since 12 making more jewelry to put in my shop, so far i have another long necklace which is already up:

And I just got done making some genuine swarovski crystal dangle earrings that in a baby girl pink color which I will add later, I'm also making another pair but in blue. AAANND some cute little heart dangle earrings as well. I know last year I went pretty swarovski crystal crazy and have a lot of it left over, which I'm going to use and I'll probably go crystal crazy again because I found a site that shows you how to make little beaded creatures and strawberries etc to add to your jewelry so I'm going to try that out and see how that goes.

Instead of feeling unproductive with my time while baby is sleeping(and I just can't seem to put myself down for a nap either) I figured it would be a good idea to start up jewelry making again and plus I want my own EARNED money, I hate going to Jeff for it (but I have to anyway because I have to have money to buy supplies && I have spent over $200 OUCH!) So I'm putting in old supplied I have with the new ones and I'm making some pretty nice things. I mean I would wear it even if I wasn't going to sell it. I think I have some neat ideas that people would wear or like. But even if this shop fails too at least I have some nice costume jewelry to wear. And I can always sell it around here or give them as gifts. Handmade/homemade gifts are better anyways.

Sorry for my lack of updating, commenting and just being around period. It seems like if one things goes wrong, everything goes wrong. And I'm still kind of struggling to manage/juggle my times with Graham. Feed,cloth, and give him a bath making sure he feels safe, secure, and comfortable. I barely have time to take a shower myself. Even when we co-bathe I still forget all about it. Which is better I could be one of those girls who just didn't care about their baby and go on like he's just something that I feed and go on (and trust me I know some people like that sadly enough). :(

ANYWAY my little hoot owl has been babbling for the last few days, he's been very active when he is awake. Which is a draw back for me (or us jeff included too...) because don't have very many baby toys at all. We have two baby swings and a little sitting mat. I went out what was it saaaterday (yes drawing out that a for a reason!) or suuuunday OOOOORRR maybe it was Monday? I don't know which ever day it was I spent a good portion of my allowance (HA I'm 20 years old and I have an allowance thankyoujeff). Anyway the play mat that I got was a whooping $70 dollars! Geez I never thought something like that would be SUPER expensive, for a rainbow mat some toys and music. I got him the 'Baby Eisenstein' -Baby Neptune play gym with a detachable crib toy:


That's probably a good reason WHY is cost so much money. The whole detachable crib toy, but the one I bought didn't have as nearly as many toys as the one on the website I think it's missing like one or two toys (I know mine didn't have the plush fish with it). But either way Graham IS starting to enjoy it, today (or since its 4 in the AM more like yesterday) he was swatting at the octopus raddle and kicking his legs wildly and babbling.

Alright I am off to bed now, I have to take Graham to the doctor tomorrow. It's his one month check up, and he's been really **TMI** constipated, I also think he might have a cold he's been coughing and sneezing for last few days now and he's fussy at night right before bed/falls asleep for the night. So going to find out what I can do about both of those.
