Hold on to your hair, peeps. It's another non-jewellery related blog!
I'm not sure about you guys, but I feel like life is going so bloody fast at the moment! But holy shit, how slow has January gone?! I feel like we have seen 2024 through from January to December already! However, finally we see February tomorrow! I wont launch into another feminist Valentines Day blog, don't panic!
I wont lie, Christmas was exceptional, as a relatively new business owner, I was shocked at how busy I was! I'm incredibly grateful but I wasn't prepared for the January lull. Am I sharing too much?! But yet I still want to keep all of the jewellery I make, coz that'll pay the bills... I need to research, make and promote A LOT but I've been a bit relaxed about that side of business this month.
However, I have been using my time well. I've been renovating a barn into a new workshop! Granted I have had to call in friends to help but I'm really nearly there and I'm so excited to get in properly and share it with you all!
However, all of this activity does mean that I dedicate less time to a lot of other essentials that I need to pay attention to. My son is my number one, always and forever he is my world! But cleaning... meal plans... staying up to date with current affairs... cleaning, etc. Did I mention cleaning? They've all gone a little wild and off, just off. None existent.
And THEN I get the guilts, ya know?? I don't really notice the mess in the house, I come in from the workshop (it's usually dark at this point!), I light the fire, the candles, put on the fairy lights, and just like magic, its super cute. However, in the morning, the cold light of day, ugh...not so super cute.
But, isn't that just life? The ebb and flow of cleanliness? Maybe I'm alone, don't judge me! I'll clean next week...
If you got this far, thank you for reading, I appreciate it wasn't the most exciting blog but hopefully some of you can relate and I've normalised the motion of house work and the life balance rhythm. Even just a little!
