About

I'm Gemma, i'm 15 & i'm a young entrepreneur,and crafter.

I love making jewellery, of which I sell online. Soon I will also start selling my knit wear items.

I caught the crafting bug at a very young age.My Nana taught me how to knit & do basic patchwork since she herself was an avid(and very talented)quiltmaker. I thank her greatly for she was the one who brought me my very first sewing machine for Christmas, of which propelled me into a sewing, quilting and clothes making addiction.

I have an extreme love for anything vintage, especially clothing and furniture.I have a very large and evergrowing collection of vintage sunglasses that on the odd special occasion, do actually see the sun.

I also love music, i've grown up listening to classic rock and my parents LPs.I play guitar, bass, piano and the electroharp.
