Whoop whoop! HOW GOOD does Louise Thompson look in her Shh by Sadie Pink Parrot Charm earrings? Oh my goodness I am still pinching myself ;D
The Made in Chelsea star wore them on her recent trip to Bali and they created quite the buzz, even being featured in the Mail Online!
I’ve been a busy bee prepping as many parrot earrings as I can - they are flying off to their new homes as far as Singapore :-)

We had another fun jewellery workshop at Ocean Studios, Plymouth, this week! We made hand painted leather feather earrings, and also a pair of beautiful leather palm leaf earrings, which dangle from a dainty gold chain. Gorgeous and PERFECT for spring / summer!
We have more exciting jewellery workshops coming up, for adults and children - beginners and those with experience!
Check out the events page for more information.

Who else is LOVING a statement hair clip right now? I am!!
I was in search for a cute, colourful clip for my hair, and just could NOT find any that I liked. And so in the end, late one Tuesday night I found the clips bases I had used for making my bridesmaid hair flowers (you can spy them here if you like). I measured them up, sketched a few designs, and experimented.
And these are the results! I had such enthusiastic feedback when I shared them on Instagram and Facebook that I designed more and have added them to the shop. The clips come in sets of two and are available exclusively at Shhbysadie.com.
So for fun, colourful statement hair clips - take a look at these hand beaded beauties.
Which is your fave? The ombre rainbow hair clip, pastel hair clip or the bright orange and pink zig zag?

This week I’ve been running more jewellery workshops at Ocean Studios! If you know me, you’ll know how much I love making jewellery and how I love helping others make their own beaded creations!
On Sunday I ran two workshops - make your own beaded necklace and bracelet, as well as make your own painted leather feather earrings.
In the first workshop you choose from hundreds and hundreds of beads to design your own bead bracelet and necklace. It’s suitable for all levels - young AND old! It’s wonderful to see the creations everyone comes up with.
The second workshop - you choose from a selection of leathers (vegan leather also available!) to cut out, paint and construct two pairs of earrings. Some participants chose to make the feathers for their first pair, and then experiment with their second pair! Exciting!
The workshops are held in the cafe at Ocean Studios, and take place again on Wednesday 19th February.

This week I released the new set of four Rainbow Heart bracelets. And if you follow me on Instagram you may well have helped me with this design! It had been quite tricky getting the colours right for this new pattern, and involved several hours of weaving, then unpicking, and weaving again in new colours.
I had wanted to create a new bracelet that was fun and playful, with of course plenty of colour!
I originally wanted the hearts to be made up of clashing, strong colours, and drew the pattern out, tested beads on paper - but when I wove it on the loom, I hated it! The colours just didn’t work in the flesh :(
So I shared a photo on Instagram stories and asked for your advice. I wasn’t even sure whether I even still liked the hearts pattern anymore. So I tried a few more colour ways, each time fussing with beads on my table, laying them next to each other, then weaving the pattern and still not being happy with it.
I almost gave up on the idea several times - wondering if they were too childish, or whether anyone would even like them.
THEN I thought - maybe let’s try a rainbow / ombre colour way! And I was finally happy. I’d tried to veer away from pinks, but after several attempts with other colours, the pinks came back and persuaded me they looked best :D
So here’s the final bracelets - playful, fun and pink.
Hope you like them!
Sadie
