Someone was happy about “skiving” today. 😝 His class was off school because of the teacher strike so a visit to Grandma’s it was! (And a ‘spoons lunch.  Grandma doesn’t live in Wetherspoons. 🤣)

Once Christmas is over, retailers move onto the next big thing - Easter.  Which means it’s a dangerous place for a “rabbity” sort of person like me because everywhere you look you see rabbits (or hares which work for me too). Forgot I saw this in TK Maxx last week.  I was very good and resisted buying it so the next best thing was a “look what I found” selfie.  Honestly, life with me is just full of surprises! 😆😂

The question here is not why am I taking selfies in the church toilets again, but why does my green top look brown? 🧐 

Had a fantastic morning singing on worship again.  You can’t beat that release of giving it all to God, He who is worthy of everything.

Some exciting news!  I’m starting up my own jewellery shop! ✨ 

S E T // A P A R T 
This is my new little venture - handcrafting contemporary jewellery that’s faith-filled and inspirational. 

In quality pure materials from 925 sterling silver to genuine sea glass; hand hammered lettering to hand metal wiring, these pieces will be a treasure and blessing to wear or to gift.

As a perfectionist (and a procrastinator!) it’s taken me a while to bring this to fruition, but here we are, I’m just about there!  My beautiful gift boxes are in the process of being made which I’m super excited about getting back.  I’m not gonna want to let them go! 😂 

So here’s a little glimpse of what I’m doing.  These are the sea glass necklaces but I’m also making Christian pieces with Truth declarations and affirmations on discs, bars and tiny stars. 

So please do give my new jewellery shop your support @setapartjewellery - I’d love you to come along the journey with me.
