About Me:
My Favourite things ... browsing in an Accessorize shop, apple crumble, B never too busy to be beautiful shop in Carnaby St. London, beading, beads, belgian chips, belly dancing, Ben&Jerry's chunky monkey ice cream, the colour blue, books, Broom Hilda, butterflies, Canada, cats, cute things, dogs, chocolate, chocolate mousse, Dilbert, Garfield, glitter, Ireland, jewellery, Lush bath bombs, mosaics, Pilgrim, Pride & Prejudice, poems, semi-precious stones, sparkles, Spongebob Squarepants, Swarovski, Tim Horton's coffee, Twinings Irish breakfast tea, UK

*** I'm an office administrator for a company that manufactures hydrogen generators by day and an aspiring bead jewellery maker by night. Seeing my day job isn't all that glamourous, I was looking for a way to add some glitter to my life, so when my friend gave me a handmade bead necklace and introduced me to beaded jewellery, I felt a bit like Alice in Wonderland... what's more sparkly than Swarovski crystal? All those colours, all those shapes... the possibilities are endless... so I started making jewellery myself as a hobby. Eventually, I had gathered such a large collection of handmade jewellery that my jewellery box was ready to explode, so I decided to sell some things... Ingenious idea as I can use the money to buy new beads and make new things! Have a look at my pictures and let me know what you think! ***
My favourite materials to work with are Swarovski Crystal beads for their sparkle of course, semi-precious stones and I love cute charms as well.
