Hello! So I’ve been away for quite a long time and I’m really feeling out of practice! Over here in (rather grey) Bath, UK, I have been experiencing Mum guilt of the worst kind! Both my husband and I started new jobs and the children went back to school, which meant a flurry of Mum …
Phew! What a crazy few weeks! It’s taken me a lot longer to write the next instalment of my “Let’s Make Professional Jewelry” journal than I anticipated! Project 3 – making hoop earrings, was meant to be completed between 20th June – 10th July. In all honesty, I was a little late (and I still …
Here in the UK, we are rapidly approaching the end of the school summer term and 6 whole weeks off school! What am I going to do with the children for 6 weeks?! Unfortunately, we are still in the midst of the Covid pandemic, with various restrictions in place in England. One requirement is the …
Have you been watching Loki on Disney+? I have! My husband and daughter are big, big Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans… although she’s only 8, they’ve watched all of the movies together (except Deadpool and Venom, which we thought was a bit age inappropriate), as well as Wandavision and the Falcon and the Winter Solider. …
I very recently had the honour of being asked to make my first commissioned piece of jewellery. For me, it was a big honour, as it was a 19th birthday present to a fellow taekwon-do student from her parents. I knew it had to be special! Perhaps, you can judge for yourself? A Bit about …
After all the excitement of “All That Glitters”, I needed to slow the pace a little and spend some time learning and improving my jewellery making skills. I would love to do a course such as the “Silver Diploma” over at Jeweller’s Academy, but at this stage in my life, I don’t feel I can …
I can’t believe that “All That Glitters” has been finished for 3 whole weeks! I’m having serious withdrawal symptoms and at a loose end on a Tuesday evening. That said, I’m also very relieved to have removed that self-inflicted pressure to produce a piece of jewellery every week! So here I am again, with my …
Can you believe that next week is the final of “All That Glitters“? The last six weeks have just flown by! This post is Part I in a 2-part series about my Hawaiian Honeymoon cuff… read more to find out why it’s in 2 parts! Week 5 was very exciting as it was the first …
Welcome to my 4th All That Glitters challenge! Phew! I can’t quite believe there are only two more episodes of “All That Glitters” left! Whilst I’m sad that I’ll have to find new entertainment for a Tuesday night, I confess that I’m relieved that I won’t be doing quite so many challenges after this! Don’t …
Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th Be With You! Well, I’ve just finished Week 3 of my self-imposed “All That Glitters” challenges, and what a week it was! I don’t think I’ve felt this stressed or frustrated in a very long time! But now that it’s all done, I feel a strange sense of …
