#MarchMeettheMaker

Not a lot to tell really… I am from India, moved to UK in 2000 after I married my husband. We met in Madrid, were married in Delhi and now live in Stamford, Lincolnshire with our two dogs Taj and Manali – She sneaked into the photo! ????

#MarchMeettheMaker prompt 10. You (Me) Something I read on a poster in Delhi a long long time ago… “Live for today, Plan for tomorrow, Party Tonight” That’s me… OK maybe not enough plan for tomorrow but the rest of it is true! ???? Not a lot to tell really… I am from India, moved to UK in 2000 after I married my husband. We met in Madrid, were married in Delhi and now live in Stamford, Lincolnshire with our two dogs Taj and Manali – She sneaked into the photo! ???? I have been self employed since 1996. Before I started working in my current business full time I have done a few different things – event management, art and craft exports, handloom silk exports, managing several handicraft shops selling exclusive hand embroidered clothes, adventure travel, motorhome and car rental… a bit of this and a bit of that. Now, with my husband Dave’s support (he keeps all the machines & tools I use in working order) I run a Creative Coppersmithing and Lapidary business from my home in Stamford, Lincolnshire. I make art jewellery, sculptures, home ware and pictures with copper, both sheet and wire. In his spare time Dave @rough_rocks cuts and polishes some of the semi precious gemstones used in my jewellery designs. It is his hobby. I also offer rough rock slices for collectors and lapidaries in my Rough Rock Shop. #Me #You #ShaliniAustin #Manali #studiodog #dog #mylittlehelper #MarchMeettheMaker2019
