I can’t really remember a time when I wasn’t making jewellery of some sort, even as a kid! I got a bit more serious about it about 6 years ago when I did a Silversmithing course but after the course found out I was pregnant with number two child and pretty much got immersed in family life. I didn’t really have a lot of energy to be creative and instead gave my time to helping run mother’s groups. Once my youngest (there are now three kids!) turned two, I started to feel like I needed a creative outlet and found myself itching to do something more than mothering. I fell in love with glass dome jewellery at a craft expo and decided to make some for myself. I kept on seeing designs and patterns I loved and kept on making it until my husband literally said “Enough. You need to sell some.” I originally got together with two other crafty friends, one who makes laptop and kindle covers, and the other makes kids clothes, and we came up with Pretty Birds – because of the pretty pictures of birds we had. Unfortunately, the other two have found themselves too busy, so Pretty Birds is now just jewellery. I feel very lucky to be doing this, like Pretty Birds is God’s gift to me, for me to be creative (and stay sane!), to allow me to stay home for the kids, and for me to learn new things. I’m very grateful.
