I spent the day painting watercolour bookmarks to send to my customers instead of making more jewelry. It was really relaxing and I made some really pretty stuff. I’m excited for someone to buy something so I can send one off.

Chris finally made it to the doctor today and was diagnosed with bronchitis and prescribed antibiotics. He is not one of those men who acts like they’re in labour when they have a cold thank god, so he must be feeling really horrible to have been flat out in bed for the past three days, poor love.

I don’t think I’m very good at taking care of sick people. But then sick people will tell you otherwise so I don’t know.

My latest obsession with my store is upgrading my packaging. Every now and then I get a bee in my bonnet and I have to change things. I’m looking into sealing wax if that gives you any idea.

It’s been almost two months since the last UpMarket and I feel antsy. I made enough money to carry me through but I have new stock and I really want to get it out there. I would love to have a studio/storefront someday. It would make my life so much easier. But that is mucho dinero. In time.
