Ok so I’m in a little shock right now because I hadn’t realised this was in print today in the Sunday Mirror supplement. Have just found the last in print copy in my local shop. I include the link to the online article below.

PMDD pod Wales is a peer support group which I co-run with Sarah

We are in this article to raise awareness of the condition we have that often goes unrecognised or misdiagnosed. We did it in the hope it helps others.

Please contact me if you wish to discuss the condition for yourself or anyone you may know who may have it. 💜

Finally posting that my work on Katzi jewellery is still on hold. I haven’t made anything new since December. I’ve been working in the NHS since March 2021 and whilst I want to return to Katzi - it’s not fitting in for now in my life.

I have stock that I’m very happy to sell and the Etsy account will get updated at some point

Focus for now is on my family, myself, PMDD awareness and the beautiful sea. This account is likely to be more of this. 💞

So Covid has taken hold of our household and it truly sucks. Myself and my husband are both unwell and struggling. Luckily our children seem ok so far but we’ve all tested positive.
This week I planned to finally get back to work on Katzi, update the shop and make stock for Christmas fair but that is not on the agenda, simply managing the very bare minimum of childcare is all I can handle. Hoping to be well for the fair.

Anyway all this doom aside, I did work on a few new festive earrings a few wks back that I’ve not managed to update the shop with yet. Here are some lovely snowflakes! Happy to take orders via DM in the meantime. Stars and fairies are upcoming too. Stay safe all, this virus is nasty. X

Today I put my jewellery into the lovely area upstairs in in Barry. My jewellery sits amongst lots of lovely handmade gifts - perfect for supporting small and local for your Christmas shopping!

I’ve been missing from these squares for ages and now it’s time to return!!
Much like Buble I’m going to roll myself into gear (a bit at least) before Christmas.

Albeit with less pressure as my creative flow kind of left me during the pandemic. I’m excited to say I will be having a shelf in and over the next few days will be prepping for that. After that I will update my shop and happy to take any bespoke orders as always.

It feels apt to re-post this from a year ago. I was so proud of the NHS. What a year it’s been and it continues. The ripples from this pandemic will be felt for many years to come.

My last few weeks have been a total whirlwind. I now work for the NHS (albeit on a temp contract for now) and I am so elated to be. In the space of 2 weeks I was offered a job, rapidly sorted childcare and stepped from stay home mum of 7 years to full time working inside a hospital.

My world is changing and it is frightening, exciting, overwhelming, full on, chaotic, wonderful. I’ve beaten myself up over and over this last year for not feeling creative, not being able to work on Katzi, feeling daunted and gutted and wishing I could sort it out! While the shop is still open I’ve not got around to updating it, adding more pieces, getting social media savvy, improving it all.

I hope to find a balance soon where I can focus time on Katzi once more as one of my passions, which I won’t let fade away. Meanwhile, shop still open and bespoke orders welcome. ❤️

I’m looking forward to making some new pieces over the next few weeks. I feel fortunate that my kids return to school next week so I can get back to creating and thinking about my future. This colour way of macramé braided cords are in my stock right now and I have made several bespoke orders with them. If you have a colour mix you’d like me to try out for you in my knotted bracelet/earrings/necklace drop me a message.

Still time to get a valentines/galentines gift sent to someone you love. I love wearing any of my range of Lego dot studs. They’re made using surgical stainless steel and are so comfortable to wear I can even sleep with them left in!

If the kids return to school in a couple wks I look forward to getting back to work and creating some new pieces for the shop 🤞🏼❤️
