sup, 2012

...and so long, 2011. We had fun.

There was the time I got to live in a hotel in Glasgow for a month... the time Joanna Bletcher and I organised our own exhibition... the time one of my pendants was auctioned to raise money for the Red Cross... the time I opened an Etsy shop... then swapped it for a Bigcartel one (I like it MUCH better) ... the time I went to see the Degree Shows and felt slightly sad that I was now OLD and no longer an exciting new graduate... the time I went to London and back in 12 hours to see New Designers... and the day I bought my very first diamond to make into a dainty ring. (That link is to a newer one, not my first one, but still! Also, I believe someone purchased it from one of my stockists as an engagement ring! Awww.)

 So hiya, 2012, I'm looking forward to what you have to offer.

I'm going to take every opportunity that comes my way, develop a new collection, organise my website, send parcels of sparkly jewels to new galleries and enjoy it all with NO stressing. Because after all, what's the point in working for yourself if you don't love EVERY second of what you do?
