See ya Later ✌️
It’s with a joyful heart (and a slightly nervous disposition) that I bring you the news that Homebird Jewellery is having a break.
A big one.
I’ve called it my sabbatical, cause not only does it sound fancy AF 🧐but it let’s you know that I have every intention of coming back. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to stop making jewellery in some way, plus, Homebird Jewellery has been a huge part of my life for well over 12 years now. I don’t see myself saying goodbye anytime soon.
But when that return will be is a bit of a mystery…🔮
but it won’t be soon.
I guess the main question is WHY?
Well. A break is needed for many reasons.
💪Rest. It’s been 12 years of working behind the scenes with only a few days off at a time (even if it looks like it, I haven't shut off since I decided to start this business)
🩺 Health. I need to adjust how I work to keep up with energy limiting conditions
💖Joy. The way I’ve been running my business isn’t serving me in the way it once did.
🌈Creativity. Working in the same way can sometimes feel a bit stale and I want to spice things up!
🧠Knowledge. I know much more about myself and how my brain works. It’s time to adjust systems and work with my brain not against it
🔥Burnout. While I’m not there, I can feel it brewing. There’s a lot of heavy feelings right now so being gentle is a must.
I honestly think this is the best decision I’ve made in a long time.
Scary of course. But the right thing and coming from a purely positive place 💖
I’ll still be popping in on socials and catching up with you all. I love the community on here so you’ll still see me from time to time 😘
I doubt I’ll stay away from my bench and will keep creating jewellery. But I just won’t be selling it, or promoting business for while.
Big love to all my jeweller and small business pals who have listened and counseled over the last few months, it’s helped more than you know.
I’m so excited to see what happens!
See you on the flip side ✌️
