This has been a long time coming. @amandabeeartist and I have a love of colour and after many chats about how we might be able to work together, we have finally opened a tiny little exhibition of our work at @thewhygallery in Frome. Using t… https://t.co/dGcPtHGOzs

Well, it’s been quite a while since I posted on Instagram so I thought I’d better do something about that. I’m still here making colourful jewellery but my other life over in wedding world has gone utterly bananas. I’ve never known anything like it! So… https://t.co/bSCvsJ5NXV

Blimey, that was a hectic 24 hours! Thank you so much to everyone who has re-homed a piece or two of my jewellery, I’m really very grateful. I’m going to leave the Sample Sale on my website for the time being - there are still some bargains to be had an… https://t.co/ZbXdLBslIT

Tomorrow at 8pm I’ll be taking part in the @bristol.market Seconds and Sample Sale so today has been a frantic photographing mission trying to take photos in the January gloom. I think they’ll be ok but January is not good for taking photos! I will be a… https://t.co/LqqDiN6Fkk

Well, that’s me done for this year. 2020 has been quite a year - it’s been horrible really for so many people. I’m still here though and I’m still making and for that, I am beyond grateful. My customers have been wonderful this year and I’m so gratefu… https://t.co/ucCslULZmB

LAST POSTING DATES - I’m still making and sending out orders so there is still time to order on my website. Now, there are some delays with Royal Mail at the moment so if you order anything over £50 I will send it to you by Royal Mail Special Delivery f… https://t.co/nJGYwJ0ERj

It’s been a rather disorganised and chaotic December so far and quite different to what I would normally be doing in December in a more ‘normal’ year. Over in wedding world I did a bit of mention of some of my favourite independent makers and shops and … https://t.co/IFlW2ZWvr9

I’ve got a busy Sunday ahead - today, I’ll be @blackswanarts for their Makers Market which will be my first real life event for a while. You’ll find me in the courtyard with a lovely group of Frome makers. Today is also @thefromeindependent online market… https://t.co/udTOx7Cvdy

These have happened. Big raindrop dangly hoops. I’m having a bit of a blue phase and can’t seem to stop mixing up blues. I’ve got stuck on trying to make that incredible blue sky colour that you get on a hot summer day. I’m not at all keen on this win… https://t.co/tp4aXAgDux

I’ve been very quiet over here on Instagram these last couple of months. It’s been a different story over in wedding world but I can’t seem to flit from colourful jewellery to weddings very easily and wedding land has been a very difficult place to be t… https://t.co/4MS5wPfz0K

I was going to be having a little earring sale this evening but due to an unexpected hacking event over in Pinterest world, I’m going to have to delay a little longer. My word there are some meanies out there. Anyway folks, make sure you’ve got your tw… https://t.co/MdCgcu0OwY

Holy Macaroni! I’ve got an Instagram shop! That was possibly the most painful 4 hours I’ve ever wasted. Trying to set up a Facebook shop when you ‘manage’ several pages and you don’t have a nice shiny Squarespace website and instead use a more obscure… https://t.co/jdJm8dJ0EE

Giant Earrings - this week, I’m going to be starting to make some new giant earrings and I’ve got several new ideas in my head including mismatched pairs and perhaps interchangeable shapes but I wanted to ask your opinions as to what styles you like wear… https://t.co/J9EEa38DWf
