Carrying On…

Social media has well and truly taken over our lives these days. It just seems expected that we share everything we do, along with all of our thoughts and feelings for the world to see, but what you see (from me anyway) on social media, isn’t anywhere near the full picture. 

This is where I bare all and reveal that for me, 2021 has actually been pretty difficult and full of stress and worry. I’m not going to go into all the reasons on here, but even though one massive chunk of that worry has recently gone away, I think I’m still going to be trying to process it all for a little while. 

Work has really been my sanctuary over the last year, but it’s that situation where you just have to carry on because you have no choice, and afterwards, when you know you “can” rest, is when all the feelings really start to come to the surface. 

I really think I’m now at the point where I need to take a break, to settle, to recharge and to just enjoy a bit of time doing nothing in particular (although I may find that last one impossible!). 

I don’t want this to seem like a gloomy blog though, as 2021 has seen me get to create some really amazing pieces of jewellery (OK mostly rings), so here’s a selection of “some” of my favourite commissions and makes over the last year. 

Finally, this is me, at least attempting, to sign off until 2022. I’m not on a starvation diet though and I’m sure I’ll still be checking emails and social media accounts numerous times! I’m not going to pressure myself though, and essentially, I’m now in rest and recovery mode until 2022. 

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas!
