I wrote this blog post for the London Jewellery School blog and am reblogging it here Did anyone else feel the need to clean their house on new years eve? I know many people were having parties, seeing fireworks, having fun while I was slaving over a hot vacuum cleaner but I had this compulsion to see in the new year in a tidy, clean home. (Which perhaps says a little too much about my home ordinarily but I do live with a moulting ginger tom). This short-lived upsurge in house cleaning reminded me that I have some UFOs lurking about; some Unfinished Objects. So let’s be honest here. Do you have any UFOs on your workbench? Things that you started making but couldn’t quite get finished because it didn’t look at all like you had in mind you lost momentum with it you suddenly had a great idea for something else christmas was so busy there’s now a thin layer of dust over all of your jewellery making equipment all of the above?

I wrote this blog post for the London Jewellery School and I'm pleased with it as it brings together my psychology background and my jewellery business. You can read the original post on the  LJS blog here When a new year comes around many of us like to see it as a lovely blank page; a clean slate. We look to the new year for a fresh start, a new way of being. Most of our readers are creative in some capacity so it’s not a huge leap to think that you might be resolving to have more creativity in your life. So here is some advice about how to do it and make it stick. Call it a goal, not a resolution The words we use with ourselves (and others) are really powerful and the idea of a ‘new years resolution’ is almost impossible to keep. If your resolution is to be more creative, what happens if by the end of January you feel you’ve done nothing towards that? You feel despondent. You berate yourself. You give up on that resolution. So let’s not set ourselves up to fail. Cal...
