I apologise for not giving your jewellery more attention, it's very pretty, you should be proud of your work.
I'm not much of a maker, more of a fixer/tinkerer, unless you count making music, which I don't do anywhere near enough of anymore.
I can sew enough to patch up things, but no knitting or crocheting I'm afraid. I did briefly try french knitting, but it was a bit gay.
