My name is Claire. I live in Southampton, UK. I am in my late thirties, have one adult son and live with my partner. By day I am administrator in the charity sector, and by night (and every other spare moment) I am a jewellery maker/designer and also sell jewellery supplies to other designers. I love my little business because its so relaxing to make stuff, its great to see customers so happy and it gives me a way of being productive on a 'bad' day because I also deal with M.E. a debilitating neurological condition.
