I haven't been making much jewelry because of full time study, but I try to keep up. New orders are still coming in and I'm glad.<br /><br />So besides making jewelry to de-stress, I have been growing more (and more) plants. We started off with 5 when we first moved into our apartment, and now there are 20. It feels really good to watch your plants grow big and healthy. This plant thing is becoming an addiction!<br /><br />Here is a picture that was taken just last week. You can view all my plant pictures <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/sets/72157622344002318/">here</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/3911013379/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2428/3911013379_c3762ee67c.jpg" /><br /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20206043.post-65559083778565161252009-07-26T10:28:00.002+08:002009-07-26T10:30:40.397+08:00We bought some herbs!Now that we are experiencing spring-like weather, we decided to buy some herbs from Bunnings.

I was surprised because I haven't bought anything online recently (what a shocker!). So I headed straight to the PO all excited and wondering what it was. The guy brought a large package and I was more surprised. After staring at it for a while, I realised it must have been Lis who bought me something. True enough, it was <a href="http://www.simpleartsplanet.com/">LIS</a>! Hahaha! Yes, these sweetly scented soaps filled my new home with sweetness immediately. Thank you, Lis, for my wonderful soap. Thank you also for remembering that I love green tea. :D Lastly, thank you <a href="http://innerearthsoaps.etsy.com/">innerearthsoaps.etsy.com</a> for making these wonderful soaps and packaging them up so pretty.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/3371516331/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3618/3371516331_513bc48d3a.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/3372337720/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3372337720_a6fbc217b8.jpg" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20206043.post-47951864847550624752009-03-16T19:30:00.002+08:002009-03-18T08:04:27.883+08:00New packagingWe have new packaging!

School started 3 weeks ago and I'm getting the hang of studying again after 5 years of hiatus. All I can say is I love going to school again. I attempted to make some new pieces over this weekend, and you should be seeing them sometime soon - when I get my light tent set up. Most importantly, my camera is back and I am taking pictures again. Oh how I missed taking pictures. Here are some pictures I took the past week. Enjoy these and check back often for more blog posts and pictures. :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/3345281729/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3595/3345281729_c9c5aa64b2.jpg" /></a><br />We're keeping things simple for now.

You will be delighted to see that we have changed various things on the site.<br /><br />The most significant change is we are now operating from Australia. Hooray for jewelry from Down Under.<br /><br />The second most significant change is that we now have flat rate shipping regardless of how much you order. This is great for those who have been eyeing several items but were worried about shipping. Be sure to check out competitive rates for registered mail. More shipping information can be found <a href="http://www.starrydesigns.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=2#SHIPPING">here</a>.<br /><br />Another significant change would be our packaging. Our jewelry will be wrapped in pretty mulberry paper and shipped flat in a bubble mailer. They will also be in ziploc bags to prevent the jewelry from tarnishing.<br /><br />To view all changes, be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.starrydesigns.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=2">Ordering Info</a> and <a href="http://www.starrydesigns.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=11">Site Terms</a> page.<br /><br />We hope the changes make shopping easier for you.<br /><br />PS: My camera is still at the repair shop, so new pieces will not be coming in anytime soon. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the existing products.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20206043.post-88137900121129031902009-02-26T22:14:00.002+08:002009-02-26T22:16:03.779+08:00Delayed OpeningThere will be a slight delay in the opening of the store because my camera is broken.

We have gotten rid of most of our stuff - most of them to friends, the rest to thrift stores. Even though it is just random stuff in the apartment, I am kinda emotionally attached to them. Wish we could send them all over to Perth.<br /><br />Definitely having a lot of mixed feelings this week. Justin and I are both happy we're starting a new life together, but at the same time we're sad to leave everything here. The strongest emotion I am feeling right now is the guilt of taking Justin away from his wonderful friends. So many people turned up last night and I was teary eyed a couple of times when I saw him with his friends. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is for the better.<br /><br />The next couple of days will be a lot of cleaning and meeting up with close friends. We've rented a car and booked a motel room for our last day/night here. On the last day, we will just be chilling and resting. And then there will be some sobbing and crying on the plane. Ha! Definitely looking forward to that...

It's been a stressful 3 weeks and I'm glad it is almost coming to an end.<br /><br />And thank you to the person who left the comment. I have since removed the petty post. I should have been more professional about it and I have learnt my lesson. Thank God for Oregonians. The feedback I received did ruin a couple of days for me and worse still, it was over something I have no control over. I guess it is because I am a human being for my own business, not just someone working for a huge corporation that they don't have a share in. Ah well...

I thought this picture of her and the ducks was really cute.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/3154718634/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3235/3154718634_9e88610024.jpg" /><br /></a></div><br /><br />And of course, couldn't do without a picture of my food. :p<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/3154717280/in/photostream"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/3154717280_0ac9b74038.jpg" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20206043.post-71183794739186324752008-12-30T14:20:00.003+08:002008-12-30T14:37:37.657+08:00I had...<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/3145851281/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3267/3145851281_b978d0a7a8.jpg" /><br /></a>steak for dinner last night<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydesigns/3150042716/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3226/3150042716_12b68c0eb4.jpg" /></a><br />and a 1/4 lb burger from Wendy's today<br /></div><br /><br />Talk about unhealthy...

It was shipped from Singapore (that is where I live, I am now in the US for vacation) and should take 9 to 14 business days. Because it is the festive season, it might take slightly longer. Thank you for your patience. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20206043.post-11235952371333218462008-12-28T01:33:00.004+08:002008-12-28T01:48:06.280+08:00I woke up feeling very happy this morning...I don't know why, but it must be accumulated happiness and I finally decided to blog about it today.<br /><br />From the day I got here, Justin has been nothing but sweet (of course he has always been sweet, and I have learnt to appreciate it better now). All the small things he does never fails to amaze me. Here is what gives me a warm fuzzy feeling:<br /><br /><ul><li>A jug of water was in the fridge when I got here. Moisturizer was in the bathroom. He didn't dare get all my toiletries though, because the last time he did, I got on to him because I didn't like the fragrance on those. :p<br /></li><li>He bought a heating pad because he knows my feet gets really cold at night</li><li>He prepares the de-humidifier everyday and make sure it is in the room every night (without fail) because my nose isn't used to the dryness.</li><li>He shovels a small passageway to and around the car so I wouldn't have to step into foot deep snow.</li><li>When I was sick and laying in bed a lot, he brought me medicine and airborne everyday. He tended to my every request when I said "Justin do this, Justin do that".<br /></li><li>He still opens the car door for me each time.</li><li>He prepares the bed for me every night - heating pad in the feet spot, 3 layers of blanket, warms up my side and then calls me to bed.</li></ul>If there were a next life, I would want to grow up with him, and grow old with him... :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20206043.post-18273145105876811292008-12-26T01:38:00.002+08:002008-12-26T01:41:25.028+08:00From Justin, with love...
