I’d love to make jewellery… I just don’t have the time.”
I hear this ALL the time.
But here’s the thing… crafting doesn’t have to mean clearing an entire day, getting every tool you own out and turning the dining table into a workshop.
Sometimes it’s 20 minutes.
A cup of tea. Your tools. A few beautiful beads. And your brain concentrating on something that has absolutely NOTHING to do with work, washing, emails or everybody else.
That’s a huge part of why I created the Relax n Craft subscription.
Everything arrives ready for you. Your materials. Your inspiration. Your tutorials.
You just need to give yourself permission to sit down and make. ❤️

I’ve been a bit quiet today because it’s Maximus’s birthday. When he was born was when I started my business properly so he’s grown up surrounded by fabulous gemstones and a wonderful community of jewellery makers. Happy birthday Max ###

🌙 IT’S BOX DAY! – LAST CHANCE UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT

Today is the day… Artemis is ready. 🏹

You’ve got until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to subscribe and join us for September’s **Wildwood Bind of Artemis** box.

And this one is rather special.

Inside, you’ll discover some absolutely beautiful gemstones — stones that aren’t just lovely to look at, but are steeped in history, folklore and meaning, with stories stretching back through the centuries.

They feel absolutely perfect for Artemis — goddess of the wild, independence, strength and the untamed world.

Alongside those gorgeous stones, we’re going to be working with beautiful components to create strong, wearable jewellery designs inspired by our goddess herself.

And if you fancy making this month even more special, you can choose Relax & Indulge for the full experience, including your exclusive extras and workshop. ✨

But this really is the final call…

Subscribe by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to receive September’s Artemis box.

After midnight, the doors close and Artemis disappears into the wild… 🌙🏹

Take Time for Yourself – the world can wait while you create.

Is anyone else’s brain just… CHAOS at the minute?! 😂

I don’t know if it’s holiday blues, the full moon, something going on in my astronomical sign 🌙✨ or if my crafty brain has just completely abandoned me…

But I sit down to make something.

Get ALL the beads out.

Get the findings out.

Have approximately 427 ideas at once.

Move everything around for 20 minutes.

Start one thing. Change my mind. Start something else.

And somehow end up making absolutely NOTHING. 🤦‍♀️😂

Please tell me it’s not just me?!

Is your crafty brain firing on all cylinders at the minute… or are you currently sitting somewhere in Chaos Corner with me? 😂👇

And if anyone knows what’s happening in the stars that I can blame this on, I’m listening… 🌙

🌿🏹 THE FINAL FEW DAYS… ARTEMIS IS CALLING 🏹🌿
The deadline for next month’s Relax n Craft box is just a few days away… and our goddess this month is the fierce and fearless Artemis.
Goddess of the wild, independence and strength, Artemis is going to bring some beautifully strong, striking designs to life this month.
I’m not giving too much away just yet, but this is a box with a very different feel, and I think you’re going to LOVE what we’re creating.
Want to Indulge?

Upgrade to Relax & Indulge and you’ll receive everything in the monthly box PLUS an exclusive strand worth over £20 on its own and an exclusive 3-hour workshop where we’ll create together.
There are only a few Indulge spaces remaining — and only a few days left to join us for Artemis.
Will you answer her call?
✨ Deadline: 1st September

⚠️ STERLING SILVER + SWIMMING POOLS = NOT BEST FRIENDS!
Consider this your little reminder to take your sterling silver jewellery OFF before you jump in the pool or hot tub! Chlorine and sterling silver really don’t get along. It can cause your beautiful silver to tarnish, discolour.
And hot tubs? Even worse — heat + chemicals + your favourite jewellery = a combination best avoided! 😬
The good news? If you forget (because we’ve ALL done it 🙋‍♀️), don’t immediately panic. As you can see in the video, sometimes a good clean can bring that gorgeous shine right back.
So before you swim…

👙 Swimsuit ON.
💍 Sterling silver OFF.
Be honest… have you ever jumped in and realised five minutes later you’re still wearing your jewellery?

The reality of being too creative before the holiday. You come back to an absolute nightmare of a workshop. Best get tidying before I start creating

✨ HOLIDAY MODE: OFF. CREATIVE MODE: VERY MUCH ON. ✨

The suitcases are unpacked (mostly 😜), the holiday memories have been made… and now I’m back where I belong. 💕

Back in the workshop.
Back amongst the beads, gemstones, wire and tools.
Back creating beautiful jewellery.
And most importantly… back creating with YOU. ✨

Because as much as I love a holiday, there’s something pretty special about walking back into my workshop and feeling that little spark of excitement about everything still waiting to be made.

And believe me… there are some VERY exciting things coming. 👀✨

So, kettle on. Tools out. Creativity loading…

Relax n Craft is BACK. 💕💎
