Life...

So just when work is picking up and I dont have to stress, my car cracks it and it costs me $920.00 to fix, all of a sudden I have no definate work... and no money.

I have worked my ass off in my current job for the past 3 years, giving over 200% to everything I do and then all of a sudden I am looking at the very real prospect of being jobless... For no flippin' reason at all! I feel like I have just wasted 3 years of blood, sweat and tears for absolutely nothing.
Working casual in retail sucks.
I feel so under appreciated and humiliated... I feel sick.

So I spent Monday being super mad and yesterday feeling depressed and hopeless... BUT today I see a light... Today I dusted off my resume and made some much needed changes, called my Mum for resume grammar advice and started a folio of all my work...

If anybody knows of any jobs going for a fantastic Visual Merchandiser or Customer Service Assistant, let me know!

So its been a while...

Just when I was enjoying having lots of time to be creative and have some 'ME' time, I was needed at work to cover some extra shifts and I've ended up working full time.... So It's been a while since I have had the chance to get all fancy with my fumblings!

Over the past month I had a chance to go home to my parents place and raid the old material stash and also pick the last of the tomatoes..


I got older and was spoilt with good food, great company and lovely gifts...





We have also had alot of issues in the apartment we have been renting. The building is only 18 months old and already the shower had developed a leak due to the sealant that was used, breaking down after 12 months instead of 12 years! It took them 6 weeks to fix it.

We then had faulty wiring through the smoke detectors which happened at the time of the shower leak. It took them 8 weeks to fix.....

Then the heating failed to work during the coldest weeks we have had in melbourne so far this year! It took 2 weeks to fix...

We endured this weather whilst having no heating... not much fun!
14 emails, 8 phone conversations, 6 tradesmen... and we still have a hole in the roof that needs re-plastering. I HATE RENTING!

On a happier note... One of my handmade bags has made its way to Sydney!






Thankyou Rubina!

I still have an endless list of fancy fumblings that have been put on hold till things at work settle down....

How has your past month been... Any Renting tips??
