Murphy Bloopers

Do you remember my personal assistant, my right hand man, the HDV mascot... Murphy? If you're not familiar with Murphy you can check him out here, here and here.  It's been awhile since I've posted Murphy bloopers.   He recently snuck his way into a few photos so I thought I'd share those with you today.


I forgot to mention Murphy does quality control for HDV. See pictures below.

So there you have it. Murphy is always with me as I take pictures of my inventory. Sometimes he has the energy to help and other times he lays on the floor next to me... much like in this picture I snapped as I was prepping jewelry boxes for painting

 Until next time

Random Dressform Sighting

Occasionally I look at real estate.  I recently happened upon a beautiful home located in Eagan, MN. I examined every available picture because this home was providing great inspiration for the dream house I've been building in my head.  I was over joyed when I clicked upon the master bathroom picture and saw one of my dressforms adorned with jewelry.  

(I took a screen shot of the listing so I could share it on my blog)

Check out the listing for this home here: 691 McFadden's Trail

Nelly

Lately I've been cranking the creative juices (which is code for drinking more Riesling)  and trying to expand the inventory/options in HDV.  I recently picked up an old dressform (those of you who have followed my shop and blog for a long time know I used to make and sell dressforms)  and started using it for myself.  Admittedly I love her.  Nelly (Her bright colors remind me of Nelly Furtado hence the name Nelly) is kept by my bathroom sink.  I use her to hang my binders and headbands.    Keep in mind I wake up at 4:30 am.  After my alarm goes off i sleep walk to my bathroom to brush my teeth and pull my hair back before I drive to Lifetime Fitness.  During my morning routine I find myself talking to Nelly and thanking her for making my life easier. No longer do I need to crawl under my bed at 4:35 am, in the dark cause my husband is still sleeping, looking for random/stray pony binders.  Nelly is always there at the edge of my sink waiting and ready to assist me no matter how tired I am.

Here's a shot of Nelly perched on the edge of my sink. She's adorned with headbands and pony binders. Nelly is  also sporting a couple of my fav necklaces. I don't wear them often but I like for Nelly to wear them. It serves as a daily reminder I really need to schedule a date with my husband (cause I often wear those necklaces while on one of our dates).


As you can tell my by lengthy and drawn out intro (I normally write less than 50 words in my blog posts) I really love my little Nelly dressform.  I figured if I appreciated and used her so much then others could potentially need  the same thing.  Therefore one of the items I'm trying to bring to HDV is the dressform.

As mentioned above I used to make dressformes for jewelry storage back in the day (Like a year ago) but stopped because I made a very very low profit from them.  Truthfully,  it wasn't worth my time. This time around I'm I'm working to create my own dressforms and basically alleviate the middle man thus cutting back on my cost which equals a huge cut back on my customers cost.  But this takes time... for the time being I'm working to create prototypes. I'm close but have not yet perfected a cost effective/ high quality dressform. So while I proactive and while I create I will sell you my prototypes as a discounted price.  for example, the dressform below is listed in HDV for only $18.00.



More dressform prototypes will be listed in HDV as I do more testing. One of these days I'll perfect the process and my shop will be filled with cute little dressforms. Also keep checking my blog and HDV for other creative and fun ways to keep and display your jewelry.

Mobile Home Monday -

This was actually posted for the first time last year.  It got a great amount of hits so I'm assuming you guys liked it?... thus I'm bringing it back.  Ok, truth be told yesterday was mother's day, we were out of the house all day and I didn't get a chance to post a new Mobile Home Monday so I'm re-posting.  
I hope all the Moms, sisters, friends, aunts, caregivers, god moms, etc... had a fantastic mother's day!
