Oh wow, I have been so busy. Been noting down ideas and getting new supplies ready for some creating soon. Just had my oldest sons birthday and my younger sons is on Friday. Luckily they are having their joint birthday party tomorrow but now I feel old. I think I may have missed a few years. It feels like only yesterday I held my oldest for the very first time and now he's 8. The years have passed by so fast!!
Also means I have been making jewellery for the past 4 years. I can't believe how fast those years have passed. They have been a long journey and I've learnt a lot but there is always something new to learn. I have been reading up on so many exciting techniques which are new to me and I can't wait to give them a try.
The wonderful thing about making jewellery is that with every technique learnt, the range of products I can make grows and the only limit is my imagination and ability which is fantastic. When I'm out I love to people watch, see what jewellery people are wearing and things. Fashion magazines are great but sometimes, the best way to learn what people like to wear is to stop and look around when out and about.
That said I admit I don't really go out socially. Depression and anxiety sees to that and I hate the stigma attached to it. Just like everyone else, I'm a person with feelings. The depression and anxiety simply mean I find it difficult to socialise and chat with people face to face but it doesn't make me any different to anyone else. Lately my life has been a whirlwind of school runs and hospital appointments to get ready for June and my operation. Strange as it may seem, I can't wait for the operation. To get rid of the pain and be a normal mum is something I've wanted since my oldest was born, this operation will finally give me that chance so while I am dreading leaving my children, I look forward to losing the pain and enjoying doing all the things I've missed out on with them up til now. Being on bed rest will also give me ample time to learn new techniques and create...exciting times await.
