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… Continue reading Still Struggling, Medically and Mentally
Struggles
VeRajArt artist struggles with disabilities and fatigue; tries to begin work on Project Semicolon macrame bracelets.
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… Continue reading Pain and Potential for Progress
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… Continue reading The Day Has [Finally] Arrived

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… Continue reading Hello!
My First Ever Show!!!
This weekend, Ash - of WhimsyBunniShop - and I participated in the Owasso Trail Days Home and Business Expo at the Owasso TCC location. It was my first ever show, and I was soooo nervous. Ash was a wonderful partner, acting as my salesperson and cheerleader, and I'm sure I couldn't have done it without… Continue reading My First Ever Show!!!
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… Continue reading
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… Continue reading Festive
