    Dear Gail, I started watching you and your lovely daughter way back when your numbers were in the 200s. My favourite bits are when you make things. I think we are about the same age, and I too am a life long “maker”. I could sit all day & watch. I remember the video when you got your jewellers table. I was almost as excited as you as I knew what it meant - my custom sewing chair & table were the same. I was watching you make this with a wistful look apparently…. And my husband said “ oh, god no. Please no. No more hobbies, please.” I already have a Soap Shop where I sell soap, body products and handmade candles and Malas, I do Embroidery, stitchery, patchwork, art doll making & dressmaking, i garden and dry all my raw ingredients- metal detect and beachcomb on holiday, I think jewellery making might break him! Your wee man is inspired & quite gorgeous. The details so beautifully done, that’s the sort of thing I love. His wee face melted my old heart! Isn’t it amazing how you can start on a project with an idea in your head, but it takes on a life force of its own at some point? It then becomes its own self. I suggest Collum Copperlegs or Rufus Red Legs. But I’m not very good at names. Much love from NZ. Xxx
