Anyone else got a little sidekick?
Working from home bestie?

Whenever mine decides she's in the workshop with me she's always exactly where I want to be 🤣

She's good at reminding me when it's time for a break, snacks and a walk though. Best workmate ever 🌟

What did you get up to at the weekend?

I visited the Rock, Gem & Bead show at Newcastle racecourse. It was the perfect rainy day activity and I've got some lovely new beads to use in upcoming workshops!

I even had a go at faceting my own gem too and can say I've found yet another skill I want to learn! 😂 💎
