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 apologise that I have again been awol, it turns out that babies take up a lot of your day and leave you pretty exhausted at night! I am very pleased to announce the safe arrival of our little boy, born on 15th December at an unexpectedly light 7lb! Gestational diabetes meant that I was …
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and creative Christmas xx This is our table all set ready for lunch! Did I mention that we are having a sprout themed Christmas?! The wreath is made from real sprouts, but see my previous post for my other awesome sprout decorations.
Aka: unlimited crochet time until baby arrives!! Just to let you all know that I am now on maternity leave and I am halting my restringing work until the arrival of baby C. Once I am in the swing of this looking after a baby thing, I will resume my restringing which I hope will …
We have some exciting news to share!! We are having a baby!! Steve and I are very excited and cannot wait for the arrival of our little one in December. Don't worry - I am not going to turn this page into a baby blog but you may just see a few crafty things pop …
To start with an apology. I am sorry that I have been AWOL a lot recently! Things have been manic! I have still been here in the background and answered all your emails - just posting anything seemed to get away me! To summarise...we sold our flat and moved into my parents’ house for a …
As the marriage vows state, I need to support Steve in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer and from good times to geekier times etc etc or something like that. Which is why, like a good wifey, I am spending my day off following him around London Comic Con 2015. For those who …
Let me start by apologising! It has been a while I know! I have been so rubbish at posting and to be honest I had a few things (aside from a dead laptop) that just got in the way - mainly getting married!! My new husband Steve and I married in a lovely villa just …

I have just spilt a WHOLE mug of green tea on my laptop!! Big fail! Who knew how much liquid there is in a small little mug! It went everywhere, all over my lap, a tidal wave over the whole laptop and all over the floor! My laptop just died instantly so I pulled the …
OK, we are two weeks into January and I thought that it was time for an update on how my January resolutions are going... 1: blog! - this has taken over my life! I can totally understand how people do this as a full time job! Everything time I am in my craft room I …
I just had to repair my Hot Diamonds bracelet before I go out tonight. I had noticed that it was a bit loose but never got around to re threading it. It broke as I was getting dressed but I guess there are perks of the job. Fixed and good as new in no time! …
Today, I thought, might be a good day to refine my resolutions for next year. Res-o-lu-tion. Noun. A firm decision to do something. I'm not very good at these. I fall into the typical. "Get fit, loose weight, earn more" non imaginative bracket and then forget after January 3rd. So instead I am taking bite …
My New Years resolution for 2015 is to keep a blog - and if you are reading this then you have found it! 😊 I know I am a couple of days early starting but when I have an idea I can't wait! So this is it. I will blog mainly about my restringing and …
I decided to treat myself to new nails for Christmas! I have wanted long almond nails for ages (ask anyone on my Pinterest feed!!) so I did it! I got up one morning and squeezed into a last-minute cancellation. It never once even crossed my mind that I would physically struggle to pick up any …
Hi I don't really have a job title as such but "Pearl Restringer" seems to fit well enough. I am self-employed and have been doing what I do for a living for about three years now. Before then playing with beads was just a hobby - now I get paid for doing what I love! I …
