I am based in Opotiki, New Zealand, I’m 36 years old and am married with two children (a girl aged 7 and a boy aged 3). (Photo below). I work part-time as an office manager/receptionist and my passion is jewellery and crafts, of all kinds, particularly making handbags, embroidery and cross-stitch, photography and collage/artwork.
My website is www.pallinadesigns.com, where you’ll find one-of-a-kind jewellery, handbags and accessories. Pallina Designs has been running for almost 3 years now and has gone from strength to strength. I really enjoy seeing the new clients opening accounts on the website, from all over the world, it’s so exciting! And I’m still making one-off items, so obviously this has struck a chord with alot of people.
I’m going to try and update this blog as often as I can…
Cheers,
Amanda
