(Hopefully) Life Changing

I found out today that I've been accepted into the TAFE course I've been wanting to do for a while now - Jewellery Trade. Basically, this means I'll be learning everything (everything) about jewellery making, from sawing and piercing (which I can already do) through to soldering, casting and so many other things.

To say I'm excited is an understatement. My teacher (!) couldn't believe how happy I was to be accepted. Now all I have to do is let my boss know I'll be dropping down to four days a week. I wonder how he'll cope without me...

Not that I care! I got into my jewellery course! This is the next step towards realising my dream.

So much for resolutions

It's now well into the new year and this is the first post I've made. I've got plenty of excuses, believe me! The biggest (and best) excuse being that I'm moving house and setting up my very own studio! So right now, all of my beads and bits and pieces are in boxes sitting in a messy pile waiting to be unpacked and sorted all over again. I'll be without them for about 2 weeks, then once we're reunited again, I can start creating the new ranges I've been contemplating and tinkering with for the past few months. Including the massive collaboration I have planned, with new news on that soon hopefully!

It looks like I may miss the Valentine's Day jewellery season this year with my huge bead upheaval, but I expect there to be lots of exciting things to entice you coming not too long afterwards. Stay tuned and I'll keep you posted (that was an awesome overuse of cliché's).

Infectiously yours,
Sars
