Happy Mothers Day


I remember my first Mother's Day, I was even more excited than on my birthday! I was so happy to be spending the day with my little girl Ciara, and my partner Nick.

This year will be my 3rd Mother's Day, and it won't be quite the same as the first one, as I'll be working at the markets, but it will still be wonderful, a chance to reflect on what being a mum means to me! And a chance for me to get spoiled (hopefully)!!

I love being a mum, it is an awesome responsibility. It certainly doesn't get any easier, the challenges just change! There are days when I wish that all I had to do was to be a mum! But, that is not the case, I am also running a small business, running the household, and trying to find time for other creative things like sewing and crocheting. Some days it's hard to find "Jules-time"!

I did get time to make a selection of one-off pieces to celebrate Mothers Day at Tarts (Gays Arcade). A couple of the pieces have already sold, but here is a photo I took of one of the necklaces that is left. It is coral mixed in with some of my handmade glass beads. Very different from my usual work!

Happy Mothers Day to my mum!
