I remember worrying that time was going by so quickly and I didn't know how to stop it. I finally learned to quit worrying, but it took a long time. STILL I have dreams about my old job and wake up so happy to realize that it's a thing of the past. It's a huge adjustment. Give yourself time. Enjoy your days, and keep making that gorgeous jewelry you make!Kathy Barrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907500412251551334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741282915137526389.post-42968550320776246552012-11-06T13:03:33.466-08:002012-11-06T13:03:33.466-08:00I hear you on the time thing.

One thing I have had time to do is play with my photography a little bit more, so thank you for noticing. :) RobynRobynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160881073090343810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741282915137526389.post-62536391209993482522012-11-06T06:48:18.453-08:002012-11-06T06:48:18.453-08:00how lovely one and all. good for you being able to...how lovely one and all. good for you being able to quit the day job. living the dream!darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067112400822667538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741282915137526389.post-27656311638194506282012-11-06T06:08:12.212-08:002012-11-06T06:08:12.212-08:00I had to laugh when I read your cliche, because I ...I had to laugh when I read your cliche, because I always marveled at how many pieces you completed while working full time. Hoping you love every minute of your new venture and that your wholesale line is a huge success. Beautiful new work and it's such a treat to see your lovely photographs of your new pieces. A visual feast!Anvil Artifactshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246256420629683122noreply@blogger.com
