✨ About MarmaladeDIY — A Small Dream, Built Boldly

Hey, I’m Maria. MarmaladeDIY isn’t just a shop — it’s a story of resilience and reinvention.

When the big corporation I worked for shut down my entire department, I didn’t walk away empty-handed. I took what was left — an overlooked corner — and built something entirely my own. This is my business now, shaped by grit, creativity, and a refusal to give up.

With the help of my two quirky assistants — Hammer, the box-loving orange cat, and Potato, the tape-hoarding bean — I hand-pack every order with love, care, and a touch of fun.

But MarmaladeDIY is more than just beads. It’s about creativity without limits — and about living boldly, even when it’s not easy. Sometimes I have to step away for a few days to take on other work, because let’s face it: it’s tough to survive on just one job these days. But this isn’t just a job to me. This little shop carries my heart. It’s a dream in progress, and every package I send out is a piece of that dream.

If you’ve been here since the early days — thank you. Your support has carried this further than I ever imagined. And if you’re just finding us now — welcome. You’re stepping into a story that’s still unfolding, one small order and one big smile at a time.

Thank you for being here, and for believing in a dream built from the ground up.
— Maria, Hammer & Potato 😘
