I started the journey of making bracelets in summer off 2022. I slowly progressed starting to find something that was not only enjoyable and gave me my sensory input I’m always needing, but also fuel my creativity and explore w

anting to do more with this new hobby of mine. I decided then I wanted more color and designs and that the basic stretchy bracelets was limiting of what I wanted to do. I looked into friendship bracelets only to find I had more opportunities with designs but still limited of what I could do. I finally in September after countless hours of YouTube videos and searching that bead looming had the mixed I wanted. Not only do I work with beads, I also can create many designs. My creative side did come from my mom. She use to do oil paintings, latch hooking, but the main two she loved was Christmas ornaments and stockings. Each piece was cut, sew, glued and stuff by hand after many pins, beads, sequins and knots later. I did learn how to do some ornaments and I learned how to do the stockings from my mom before she went to be with the Lord. As a kid I enjoyed it, but as I got older it didn’t bring me as much pleasure nor let my creative side run wild. I was tired of sticking to the directions of the diagrams and patterns nor not like felt fabric as much. I knew it was time for me to find something I liked but still had some remembrance of my mom too. Throughout the months I felt like the Lord was giving me some kind of encouragement through others with this hobby and it sparked a interest to start my own business with the times we are in and how I was when it came to consistency and schedule. I realized when this sparked happen that I did have some of my dads skills within me besides the stubbornness. My dad had his owned business he started from the ground up and started base off of stuff he liked to do which was working on tractors, big equipment and welding and probably a lot more with not a lot of education. But he still managed to make a success out of his passion. I first was very scared and frightened to take this step, but I had many moments and many encouraging words that said yes I can and the fact I know the Lord will walk with me every step of the way and it’s a new way to test my faith and strengthen it more. I also looked at it as this could be an amazing opportunity to spread the gospel through my working hands, but to also strengthen my relationship with the Lord and be a testimony to others and continue to learn about this hobby and strive to make improvements. We can’t strive for perfection because no one will never be perfect, but we can strive for improvement cause there is always room for improvement.
