I'm a parent to Ayla and Bastian, blogger, jeweller/metalsmith/artist, mentor and trustee at Project Kidogo. I love making trinkets and I spend any spare time I have making folded book art, rescuing dolls and sewing. I run the Facebook group for Breastmilk Jewellers. I dream of building my own house and doing more charity work in Tanzania.
