Well friends, I am taking the official plunge into self employment! I have given notice to my job and my last day is June 18th!
I have been talking about this for ages and wishing I could do it and now it has come to a point where I have to choose. I have secured a few more wholesale accounts and also managed to increase my number of private sales significantly as well so I am ready to run with it!
Of course, the reality is that I am scared to death. The money is rolling in nicely now but I know it won't be this way every month. That being said, I am so excited! I feel like someone has lifted two hundred pound weights off my shoulders!
I know this is going to mean a lot of work and I actually think I will work harder now than I ever have but it will be for me and it will be worth it.
I have learned so much in the past few years and am constantly still learning about making jewellery and about running a business. I like that end of it though, continuous learning. It keeps me on my toes!
My only regret over the past year is losing a dear friend and I think the business was a huge factor in it.
On a brighter note, here are some more recent designs:
