Happy International Women’s Day! Back in January, I mentioned that I’d be helping out with my daughter’s Brownies group. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the privilege of teaching the girls and all I can say is that I’ve been so proud and inspired by them. The girls are amazing and curious, asking me …
Ever on the hunt to learn new techniques as I try to find my jewellery “style”, I’ve recently tried my hand at enamelling. So, please join me in my first attempts at enamelling! In this post, I’m sharing the way I attempted enamelling (it’s very likely not right!) and things I learnt the hard way. …
Happy New Year! I hope you had a restful festive period and are ready to start a new year full of jewellery making with me! I had an unusual Christmas this year. It was just the four of us on Christmas Day, which is unheard of in my family! We usually have a house full …
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 …

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 …
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 …
Hello and welcome to my latest post – I hope you’ve been enjoying my little updates and projects! Today marks the start of a new series of blog posts that I’m undertaking, kicking off with this one, the simple ring band. It’s been about 3 months since I came back to the fascinating art of …
