I especially enjoy walking, swimming, driving my Ford-Ka, - cooking for, spending time with and chatting to friends, - painting watercolours, eating-out, writing poetry, dancing, listening to music, a wide variety of crafting, photography and of course...MY BELOVED P.C!!...xx
My great passion, aside from my family, is my job...I am a Bespoke Jewellery Designer (SolaSara) and work mostly in silver or gold, with semi-precious beaded gems and glass sculptures. My speciality lies in creating 'Religious or Spiritual' pieces and I am so glad to have found an occupation that gives me such endless satisfaction and pleasure! Within the last 6 months I have added Paper-Keepsake-Crafting, to my business repertoire...and it is proving lots of fun and quite profitable!
- So I'm not complaining...LOL -
(My slideshow features some more of my past and more recent commissions! "Mwuaah!")

Whilst here..plz take a quick peek at my video choices; I would really appreciate your opinion and one of them may just add an extra smile to your day!...TY!
Music holds a key to my heart and I've always admired Artists that can skilfully combine meaningful lyrics with beautiful melodies and a distinctive vocal style...
This video, featuring Tim Minchin, (the very talented Aussie-born Comedic singer/composer and 'ROCK GOD' lol), perfectly illustrates this 'marriage' at its VERY best in this beautifully poignant ballad. Quite amazingly, perhaps, it always manages to coax both giggles and tears from its audience, yet leaves a warm feeling inside that lingers... So please...indulge the 'vulnerable you' and and give this wonderful track a listen?
- But you'll have to PAUSE my music-player first or you'll suffer terrible ear-ache! LOL -
Finally, in my humble opinion...some of the other most proficient and wonderful musicians are (and have been), those in the following list:
Muse
Metallica
Linkin Park
Korn
Marvin Gaye
Lost Prophets
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
S.O.A.D
Creed
Incubus
Rammstein
Genesis
Linkin Park
Kate Bush
Bruce Springstein
Talk Talk
Pink Floyd
Harry Nilson
R.E.M
Coldplay
White Stripes
Elbow
Kings of Leon
Dennis Wilson
Staind
Foo Fighters and
Tenacious D
...So, after watching the video..why not take some more time to browse my music player because, I've tried hard to showcase as many great songs as I possibly can there too...AND the collection keeps growing...
...especially for you, my friends!

...some days, I feel like an apparition...vacillating between a dichotomy of what's real...and what's not. However, what I do feel, in terms of 'substance', is a respect and admiration for you...THAT won't dissolve...regardless of where I land... sorry I haven't kept in touch...
