Meet Andreea

Bead With Love is made at my kitchen table.

On April 4th, 2025, my life changed when I was involved in a serious car accident. Three months later, on July 4th, I came back home — my own independence day, though I was far from recovered.

I needed something to do with my hands. Something to think about that wasn't pain. I started beading at my kitchen table, for hours at a time. Bracelets piled up — hundreds of them.

When I was hospitalized again, I brought my beads with me. I kept making them from my hospital bed, and I gave them to everyone — patients in neighboring rooms, nurses on long shifts, doctors who stopped to check on me, every friend and family member who came through the door.

I still work from my kitchen table. Still recovering. Still beading.

Every piece is made by hand, one bead at a time. I know what it means to need something beautiful to hold onto.

Beaded with love,
Andreea
