If you’ve been following our stories today, you

If you’ve been following our stories today, you would have seen that the restocks and new products have started to roll in in a big way!!

Jewellery findings, tools and a Ranger alcohol ink order that has been way overdue (for those of you waiting on the Sculpey order, it should be early next week....it’s arrived in Australia, they’re just sorting it and it’s BIG so it’s going to take time).

In the meantime, all the Jewellery findings and alcohol inks have been restocked online this afternoon.
I’m just about to tackle the new products so stay tuned.
There are some new earring components, some sun catcher crystals and also 20 new alcohol ink colours!

Everything will also be available in studio this Saturday 15th May. We’ll be open from 10.00am until 4.00pm....or you can of course just shop online!

Today is Fibromyalgia and CFS/ME (Chronic Fatigue

Today is Fibromyalgia and CFS/ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and the theme this year is ‘Hard to say, Harder to live with’.

Chronic illness, including Fibro and ME/CFS has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whilst you do adapt, I’ve always found it hard to accept that I’ll never be able to do the things that I want to do.
From the small things that many people take for granted such as dinners and outings with friends, exercising, going on holidays, shopping and even just standing in a queue to meeting new people, keeping a job, being financially and physically independent and having a family/children.
Almost all of these things just aren’t possible for me - especially not without a dedicated support team. In my lifetime I’ve found that people don’t tend to stick around long term when you suffer from chronic illnesses - and as a result this can cause more pain, trauma and difficulties.

Having these illnesses makes you appreciate the little things every day. Whilst I have much anger and frustration, I am also grateful and aware of the little things.
Over the last 15 years, I have worked hard to build The Whimsical Bead to ensure I have some purpose and meaning in my life (especially since I can no longer work outside the house). I am so thankful for the support I have received both online and here in the studio. Through your support, whether it be purchases, comments, messages or workshop bookings, you are helping me in more ways than you know. You give me a reason to get up in the mornings and continue this fight.

If you struggle with chronic illness - particularly invisible illness - please feel free to reach out if you ever need to chat.
And if you don’t, please take some time to educate yourself on the many invisible illnesses out there. Awareness and education is the key to fighting these conditions.

And please remember, just because you can’t physically see the wounds these conditions cause, doesn’t mean they’re not suffering on the inside. Kindness, empathy and compassion really can make all the difference.

I’ve just added 6 new shape sets of our resin cutters to the website.
This means there are now around 30 different design packs to choose from!

These shape cutters are made in Australia from resin.
This process makes them stronger, the walls are much smoother and the edges sharper and tapered. And because of this sharpness, there is less residue to clean off the cutters after use. And no joins either.

Sending love to you all this Mother’s Day - a da

Sending love to you all this Mother’s Day - a day that means many different things to everyone.

To the ones who are able to hug their children every day, to the ones who are missing children and may be separated from them.
Those who have lost children and those who have lost their Mothers.
To those who step in as parents and those who are furmamas.

If you have spent today with loved ones, I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating the precious relationships you have.
To those who find this day incredibly hard for whatever reason, I feel you and I’m sending you so much love and strength (and Kenzi Mae sends you big puppy cuddles too!).

We had a fabulously creative day in the studio today!

I love it when I get a group of students who take the techniques I am teaching them and experiment with them to see what they can achieve.

I didn’t get a lot of photos of finished pieces as most people opted for creative play rather than taking finished pieces home. We had SO many beautiful pattern sheets and components ready to be turned into beautiful jewellery and homewards - they’ve promised me photos so I’ll share them with you all when I get them!

Thanks to this wonderful group for such a fun day. I look forward to seeing where you take your new found skills.

Still need a gift for Mother’s Day? Why not sp

Still need a gift for Mother’s Day?

Why not spoil the special someone in your life with a creative experience?
Gift a specific workshop or an open ended voucher so they can choose the workshop they’d like to do.
Perhaps you could even book something for you both to enjoy together??

Purchase gift vouchers online or contact us and we’ll personalise something especially for you.

If you’re local, why not come and check out our Workshop in a Box experiences?
They make a great gift idea and we’ll be open all day Saturday for you to drop in and have a look (or order online and pick up).

We can also personalise supply gift vouchers if your someone special is creative and would love some new supplies!

Get in touch and we’ll be happy to help you out 💗
