Still Struggling, Medically and Mentally

I'm not looking for sympathy here; I'm just putting this out there, seeking kindred spirits and maybe some advice. Maybe I don't want advice, but instead just want someone to read this and understand, or at least try to. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in February, but I've been battling its symptoms for much longer than…

I Heart the Lucet

Despite debilitating pain, I made some super cute heart pins using a lucet, an ancient viking tool for cord-making sometimes called a "knitting fork".

Pain and Potential for Progress

I want to begin this post by boosting this project https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/good-night-stories-for-rebel-girls-books-women#/ which I think is amazing! Then, I want to say that I'm sorry I -once again- haven't been very active. My pain has ramped up to 11, and it's sometimes so bad I can't do anything productive at all. I got the results from my MRI…

The Day Has [Finally] Arrived

So... I'm overwhelmed with excitement. About a month ago I found a domain/hosting deal that couldn't be beat, and that same day received an email offering me 50% off of Serif WebPlus X8. I thought it might be a sign, so I bought them both. (Here's my affiliate link so we can both save money…

Hello!

Hey there beautiful people! I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still here. I have been dealing with a lot of disability-related problems and so have not been as actively creative as I'd like to be, but I'm trying to get back on my feet. I recently purchased a domain and hosting, and…

My First Ever Show!!!

Ash was a wonderful partner, acting as my salesperson and cheerleader, and I'm sure I couldn't have done it without…

Spring (and Easter) Bracelets!

I think I'm finally beginning to get over this most recent bout of depression, and I made three bracelets this past week. They're all spring/Easter themed, and so cute!        They're $10 each and custom sized. Tell me what you think, or what you'd like to see next! 

I haven't been posting much because I haven't had much to say. I haven't been creating anywhere near the amount I want to be, but I did make a wire-wrapped tree of life pendant relatively recently, so I guess I'll post about that.     I made this in September (and boy, did it take me…

Festive

I was very excited and honored to have someone showcase my work at a recent festival in Tulsa. However, none of my pieces ended up selling. Here are some photos of bracelets that were shown there. I may have to regroup and rethink pricing and current sales positioning. Let me know if you like any…
