Glass Butterfly Beaded Bookmark

Welcome to Beads & Butterflies :) 

I’ve had ME/CFS since 2018; it's a fluctuating neurological condition that causes debilitating fatigue and also affects my mobility, sensory and cognitive function. I am mainly bed bound  and use a wheelchair or mobility scooter  on the rare occasions I am well enough to leave my bedroom. 

Tapping into my creative side is one of the things that keeps me going. Designing and making things is a great therapeutic outlet that provides mindful activity and gives me a sense of purpose, achievement and hope, despite my limitations. 

I started playing with a few beads, just for fun… and a few months later, in October 2024, I  started ‘Beads & Butterflies’ from my bed! I’m so grateful for all the support and encouragement I have received so far. Every order really means the world to me!

I mostly make one-off unique creations and I absolutely love receiving bespoke requests from customers! It makes me so happy to create exactly what they want and see how much they love the finished item. If there is something specific you would like making, please just leave me a message. 

Thank you so much for visiting my shop :)
