Old Bobbin Jewellery Organiser

Old Bobbin Jewellery Organiser

In a previous life these were used in the textile mills of Derbyshire to hold the cotton. Each Organiser is unique, with bobbins being sourced from within the Derwent Valley World Heritage site. It is a little piece of history, which the owner will preserve whilst providing… Continue

Hi everyone!

I can't believe that I've been following UK Handmade's blog but have never actually signed up as a member. Well better late than never! It seems like another great way to find fellow crafters and do some networking. I've already found lots of you who I'm facebook fans of and also blog followers and tweeters.

I will get some photos up and post some more exciting news soon.

Look forward to meeting lots of new people :-)

My Website

Firstly, thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, and its lovely to have some local friends too!

So, why have I been quiet for a couple of days - well my website needed an overhaul and I decided to have a go at it myself!! I've never done web design before, and it is quite basic at the moment while I get the hang of the software, but I have to say I'm quite proud of myself so far!

I bought Serif WebPlus and have to say its been incredibly easy to use. I've only tackled the… Continue

Hi Everyone

I'm Becci, I live in Cheshire and I'm a jewellery designer. I primarily work with PMC, enamels, glass, gemstones and chainmaille.
