My Mother was a sixties scoop child and unfortunately passed at the young age of 56. Beading and creating traditional pieces helped me heal and it also brought me back to my Mother's teachings, memories, and positive state in life. I love creating something big and beautiful from little pieces as it truly brings me peace and comfort.
