I have Rheumatoid arthritis and suffer from severe Clinical Depression and have some other health issues. I started beading as a way to keep my hands and mind occupied. When I have a 'good' day I love to bead - when it's a 'bad' day, well let's just say that it's a stay in bed kinda day!
I have done cross stitching and knitting in the past and thought that beading would give me a better way to see results right away - boy was I wrong! Some of my projects take me days to complete - working on them just a few hours a day is all I can do with these hands!
I have started selling my projects on Etsy.com as I have a few drawers overflowing with finished projects!
Selling also provides me with a little income as well. I don't sell my projects for a lot of money--mostly it's just enough to cover the cost of the supplies I used and a little more.
