Hope you all had a great day. I must say, being called boring by my kids didn't really make me feel too great about myself today. My three little ones think I spend too much time on my computer and making jewellery. This coming from the children who can barely tear themselves away from their gadgets after homework each day.
I guess they have a point though. I spent the whole day clearing up and running around after them then as soon as they'd eaten and bathed I was on here looking through my Etsy shop and my Facebook page. How do you explain to children that you work so hard for them? I guess I will have to wait until they are older and doing similar things themselves before they fully understand. I knew setting up a business and juggling motherhood was never going to be easy but it is a challenge I fully intend to rise to.
My children provide a lot of inspiration as well which has taught me to always have pen and paper to hand, wherever we may be. Last time I had a great idea we were all at a nearby childrens play centre. Jotting my idea down on a napkin was the only way I could ensure I would remember my idea. Ball pit earrings were then designed and made back home but the point is inspiration can come at anywhere, anytime and from anything, like it did for me when I was watching my children playing in the ball pool.

Well, this has turned out to be more of a personal post but then again, I did say it was a way of learning more about me and my life. While making jewellery is my business, I am first and foremost a mother. I do however promise to blog soon with details of my work.
Until next time,
