Many Gransnetters know that I have very little control over my left hand as a result of a brain injury many years ago. I have always loved doing craftwork but following a recent illness and hospitalisation I haven’t had any motivation. I decided at the weekend that I really wanted and needed to create something, so I’ve started working on a bead bracelet. When it’s finished it will go to a small local charity for fundraising. I’ve made hundreds of these over the years, they’re not difficult but as I’ve chosen to use the smallest beads in my craft stash it will take me a while! I find it so rewarding and it’s definitely good for my mental wellbeing.
