drawing things - 06:12 PM
(filed under 'baby')
smiley's started to draw 'things'. i'm not sure what they are, but he puts a lot of effort into them. they mostly consist of what coud best be described as kind of circles. sometimes he's even drawn something & pointed to it, making the noise for it, like a lion's roar or the "ssss" of a snake.
it's very cute.
i've been taking regular pictures of his drawings. i might put a few together into a photolog entry soon so you can see his progress. i'll link to it from here when i do, of course.
heh. right now he's doing a two-handed drawing with a red pen in his left hand & a blue pen in his right hand. lots of circles & stabbing dots. lol! 
oh, i almost forgot! yesterday he drew two (really good) circles near each other, pointed to it & said, "car." that's how i (& probably most people) start drawing a car, with the two wheels. i was really impressed!
to market to market - 05:51 PM
(filed under 'creative')
yesterday was market day again. this time i did a lot better than last time when it was a public holiday long weekend & almost no one was there, stall holders or market-goers.
i was selling fudge this time & i did pretty well. i sold eighteen out of thirty packets of fudge & made $66 from it. it seemed that caramel was the most popular flavour. many people didn't even want to try the other flavours from the samples i had available. personally, i like the caramel flavour the least. it's still nice, but i think the milk chocolate & dark chocolate are the nicest.
i sold two pieces of jewellery, both necklaces. not a lot but it's an improvement over last time when i didn't sell any! i gave out heaps of business cards.
anyway, so the total day's takings came to $136. not such a bad effort. 
a lady was going around to the stall holders inviting them to an event next sunday which is built up around a local game of cricket from what i understand. i'll be attending & so i'll be making more fudge this week to sell there, as well as bringing along my jewellery, of course.
oh, i got some good feedback about my fudge. a couple of people said it was much better than the fudge being sold at the emerald show which was on last week. they said it was really awful. i thought fudge was pretty hard to stuff up, but apparently not. good to know i'm onto a winner, in that case.
another cold - 08:37 AM

turns out that smiley's not been himself because he has a cold. that same night that i was wondering why he was so cranky, he began to have big, snotty sneezes. it doesn't seem to be too bad a cold. he's a little bit snorty when he's breathing, but aside from that (& a really bad time with daddy when i was at the markets because it seemed he wanted to be with me at the markets) he's been okay.
