About Me

My Photo
Aberdeen, United Kingdom
Hello all. I am a Nursery Nurse working with special needs children within a main stream school and love it. I have worked as a NN for 32 years and wouldn't change for anything. I have always crafted in some way or another since the age of 7. At present I do a bit of patchwork and quilting, jewellery making and card making. I run a craft class once a month in my house for 10 of my friends. I also run a card making class at the school for a handful of children once a month.

Chain Maille Box weave bracelet...

I made this bracelet today using 5mm 9ct gold plated 925 sterling silver jump rings and small cultured pearls. It was a bit fiddly but the finished result was worth it.
I bought the jump rings from Jewellerymaker.com at a cost of £17.90 for 200. The pearls cost approx 20p each and the clasp was approx £1.00. A total of £19.30 which is very good value. If I were to buy a bracelet like this I would probably have to pay in excess of £50.00!!!

Rubys are red....

These are the pieces I made with the strand of Ruby gemstones I purchased from Jewellery Maker.
I used Sterling Silver findings to finish off each piece.
The necklace and earrings set is for a friend and I will sell the other set of earrings hopefully...

Loving chain maille

I am loving working with chain maille. Just bought a saw to make my own jump rings. This bracelet was made using the box weave.
