My 2020 mountain rings are almost here! The waxes are ready. Just waiting for my casting guy to get back to work so I can finish them!
I only make a handful of these every year! There is one left in my shop from 2019. Once they sell, I won’t make more until the following year.
One month ago I was writing about how excited I was for how this year was shaping up. As of today, almost every single one of those plans has fall apart. We live in uncertain times, things are changing from day to day.
I am bummed that some of the events I signed up have been cancelled but in the grand scheme of things, it'll be fine for me. There are a lot of people who can't put food on the table because those events have been cancelled. My heart is bleeding for so many people right now.
I'm trying to be positive and think "obstacles are detours in the right direction". Maybe those events weren't meant to be. Maybe when they're rescheduled they will be even better than before! Maybe the universe is asking me to focus on other areas of my business that I haven't been focusing on before I make the time for these events.
Whats happening in the world is definitely forcing businesses to rethink how they function and how they do business. It's forcing the world to wake up. The catalyst for change is usually something big and scary. These are scary times we're in and I we will come out of it stronger. Just remember to have courage and be kind. Help those in need. Help your community. The only way we're all going to get through this is by being a community of caring people.
Stay safe friends!
Last year I did a lot. My word for 2019 was ENERGY. The thing with energy is that the more you do, the more energy you have. Which can be great! But sometimes, when you're super motivated and energized, you commit to more than you probably should. Or at least I do. I learned a lot because of everything I took on last year, but I also found myself burning out after intense bouts of work.
I didn't really have to think much about my word for 2020: the word just naturally popped into my head as soon as I started thinking about my 2020 goals. I knew that my focus for the new year had to be quality over quantity. To take on less projects but ones with more value that really speak to me. To find more efficient ways to get things done faster while still being true to my standards.
I'm really looking forward to 2020! How about you? What's your word for 2020?
Arrowhead Stud Earrings
I chose to make Tracie a pair of arrowhead studs because they seemed like a practical piece of jewellery she could wear straight through from her meetings, to her workouts, to being a mom, etc. Arrowheads symbolize strength and I figured if she was only going to wear one piece of jewellery during the day, I might as well make something practical and symbolic.
