Anna's Pearl and Bead Restringing
I am a pearl and bead jewellery repairer. I can also redesign and/or renew you old bead strands to make them like new. I am also a self taught crochet addict, new mum and craft enthusiast with not enough hours in the day!
I thought that I would take a few moments to share my craftroom with you all. For me, having a dedicated space to work is so important. I am the first to admit that I am pretty unorganised and messy at times. If I had to find stuff, get it out, clear the table to …
