Howdy, I'm here... Friday was my 59th birthday and I've been quiet and I've noticed that over the last year or maybe longer, that posting regularly (daily or more) just hasn't aligned with where my head and heart are.
I don't know why exactly but if I'm not really feeling authentic about a post, I just put my phone down. It's definitely easier when I'm in the middle of a collection and feel that I've got something cool enough to share... but other than that, I'm just working and living.
Maybe it's just a season (long ass season at this point 😉) and it'll pass but until then thank you for sticking around for my infrequent shares.
I took this picture Saturday night, right before I started a studio overhaul. My family gifted me a jewelers bench for my birthday. Oddly enough I've never wanted one, as I've been using big, old farmhouse tables and perfectly content. But recently I've been considering, planning and moving towards creating a space for students here... so that means downsizing my personal workspace (i like lots of room to work).... so the new bench is in place, pictures to come, as well as more thoughts about future classes.
That could very well be something to get excited about 🧡.
