One Red Bead

June 11, 2009

I was touched recently by the story of my friend NancyRosetta’s mom.  Dolly had a stroke, and Nancy and her sisters have been blogging about their experiences. 

Nancy is an accomplished jewelry maker, and found solace during a stressful time making “stroke bracelets” with her sisters.  Read more about how the concept of “One Red Bead” came into being. 

I love the idea of making jewelry that represents a concept or makes me think of someone…while making jewelry for the sake of making a pretty piece is fulfilling as well, there’s just something about having a piece around your wrist or neck that reminds me of my family or a special time in my life. 

I guess that’s why “Brag Bracelets” are so popular.

Get well soon, Dolly…you’re in my thoughts and prayers.
