Sorry for being a bit late this month - I was busy celebrating my own birthday earlier in the week and was away for some time out over Easter! 😁
What did you get up to?
I can't believe it's the end of term 1. My daughter started high school at the beginning of the year, and it's been surprisingly full on! We're looking forward to having some down time over the school holidays, and hopefully catching up with some family and friends too.
Do you have plans?
Also, I have been busy doing a Silversmithing course this year (and the end of 2020).
I'm LOVING it so far, but still trying to work out how I can incorporate it into my business. I don't have any of the tools - yet - so watch this space.
But I have included some pictures below of my works so far. 😁
The stock up and save sale for my DIY bracelet kits continues until the end of April. They're great for an extra something to do during the school holidays & are great gifts to post!
Mother's Day is fast coming up on Sunday 9th May! If you'd like me to make something special for your Mum, please get in touch now 😊

Lastly, another cat photo...
New blog post!
This is the background story of how the Peas in a Pod Collection came about. The personalised jewellery that features birthstones as little peas, encased within a 'pod' of recycled Sterling Silver. ❤️ Warm fuzzies!
If you would like to have your own Pea Pod piece created, please get in touch.
These bracelet kits make a great gift, and are a perfect way to spend some quality time with your daughters, nieces or friends. These DIY bracelet kits come in your chosen (1-2 favourite) colours and a carefully personally curated, hand-selected, set of beads! What's not to love? ❤️
Here are the pictures of what I have made in my Silversmithing class so far:
The very first ring I made was in Copper, with an interesting hammered pattern.
The second - and my first recycled Sterling Silver ring, was the large wavy one with cut-outs, shaped a bit like eyes!
The third, was an oval nephrite jade stone - set on an angle.
Lastly, I'm wearing the labradorite ring with cut-outs at each end and hammered detail on the ring.
As you can see - I like to try some different things!
I'm now working on a necklace with interesting chain links and all made from scratch. It's gonna take a LONG time - I'll let you know how it turns out!
I'd love to hear what you think about these designs?
Monthly Cat Photo:
This time my monthly cat pic is of our (moggy) Tinkerbell. 😺 Here she is hanging out in her favourite place - the garage. For some reason, she doesn't sit in the cat bed?! 🤷♀️
