Wick'n'Wax Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 chandlers with large sales.I seemed to have done nothing but pour solid for the last 3 weeks, ready for next weekend craft fair. I am absolutely shattered, I'm on auto-pilot, in bed around 2am and up at 7am.But boy, it's soooooooo nice seeing everything setting up and unmoulding loads of things at once.It was nice to add a lot of items to the 'whats in your pot' thread this weekend.Hubby is having an absolute fit though, the whole kitchen is awash with candles etc, he's not a happy bunny!Tired but happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wick'n'Wax Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 my hubby just sees it as me messing about in the kitchen with wax! Even now I've gone self employed and trying to make a go of this I get no support. I try and involve him, ask him what he thinks of something or other, and he just grunts!I've had to sit down before I fall down lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredron Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I'm just glad my wife doesn't even know where the candle shop is. It's so peaceful there, I'm lovin' it. Beethoven, Motzart & candles-how sweet it is.Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comfortscents Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 hubby moved by work room on the second floor..we have a 5 bedroom home and an empty nest..so one room is a tv room, one is an office, one workroom and 2 bedrooms. It's made a world of difference for me...I practically live on my 2nd floor, even before the workroom was there. It's interesting when hubby gets home..there are some scents he never comments on but once in a while there is something melting that he really likes. Always weird to know he likes brewed jasmine..a true metrosexual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wick'n'Wax Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Anjie, I'm shattered. I keep getting organised, deciding what I've got to do each day, and when it goes wrong, I'm lost lolI've had 4 kids off school poorly, but they are back tomorrow, OH YES THEY ARE!!! even the doctor said the anti-b's should have kicked in by then Tomorrow, I HAVE to do my other dipped bears and ad-hoc pouring, things that I'm doing bit by bit, gotta finish some labelling, and check paperwork etcI'm just hoping that all this hard work pays off on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
