Changes!

Wow! It has been over two years since I have posted on here, time flies when you are having fun 😊

I have been so busy with my family, my day job and going to markets it has been amazing. This year I have decided to step back a little from doing markets. For three years I have coordinated the monthly Snug Market with a fellow maker/designer. That experience was incredible. I have met so many clever, kind, sharing and talented people through that community market but it is time to move on to other things. 

I am looking forward to focusing on jewellery design and learning new techniques and styles. This was what interested me in jewellery initially. 

Over the last couple of years I have learnt some chain maille basics and played around a little with bead weaving and bead embroidery. I have continued to make an occasional glass bead and made lots of pieces of jewellery using simple wire work and stringing.

Here are some pictures of some of the pieces I have made using different techniques.

Until next time smile and enjoy life to the maximum.

Andreas Needs a Miracle

A family from the school I work at has had a very difficult year.  Their youngest son was born with an irreparable heart condition.  I am currently working on organising a Mother's Day Market as a fundraiser for the family, to assist them during this very stressful time.  They have many trips to Melbourne which leaves the family split.  A hard thing for any family to manage.  It is amazing how well they are all coping.

I am hoping that this market will go a little towards easing their burden and show them how much love and support the local community has for them. For more information on the market or to donate please email me.

Until next time

Stay safe and be happy
