Good evening peeps. I hope you’ve had a good day. I spent this afternoon on the phone to a very nice man from A Post who’s been helping me with a €180 customs charge on a €50 order. Seems the sender may have put the decimal point in the wrong place. Let’s hope it gets sorted before the extra €3 per item charge comes in. On a happier note I have managed to get some more beading done on my pen wrap.

Hello and happy world bee day! I keep meaning to make some bee themed jewellery but then I forget 🤦🏼‍♀️ my slightly damaged brain! Is this something you would be interested in? 🐝

How do you like to wear your bracelets? Do like them tight at your wrist or a bit looser? Personally I like to wear mine where the bump is or just past. A bit of trivia for you, that bump is called the ulnar styloid process.

We lost someone very dear to us 39 years ago today. It made me think that’s it’s often hard to find a suitable background paper for sympathy cards so I designed this one simply called Miss You.

Something else I’ve been working on recently…more teeny tiny beads! Does anyone else work on multiple projects at once or is it just me?
