This has been a year when plans have been changed, to say the very least!
Yesterday I had a tidy up and stock take in my jewellery workshop. I remember doing this in 2019…If we’d been told what would go through this year we would not have believed it. Incredible shocks and loss within our family added to the most emotional and scariest rollercoaster of a year.
Through it all though, making and creating gave me an oasis of something resembling normality. My diary filed up with lovely events to work towards and look forward to in 2020. One by one these were cancelled or rearranged for next year. That does seem optimistic now!
I did manage one days teaching workshop in early March. Lovely ladies, who took me up on my offer to take the masks they’d used on the workshop home.
What have I learnt?
Being adaptable, its not the end of the world if I need to change my plans.
Online social stuff can be almost as good as in-person events.
Making Videos….I taught for three decades, why should I feel self conscious talking to a camera?
Looking forward I have some plans and ideas. I will work towards new goals, develop my techniques and create new pieces, but this may change. And that’s OK.
Tidy workspace, waiting for 2021.
