Whew, it’s been a hot minute. I had planned on taking January off but life had other plans.
Last fall I started EMDR therapy for trauma. While it has been the most difficult things I have ever done, it’s exhausting, and it brings up other things you haven’t thought about in years. It also is so incredibly healing and I feel the weight slowly lifting.
During some of this process I stopped creating, not on purpose but my brain needed time to nurture those new synapses. It also needed time to work on my medical anxiety. I am having two hernias repaired on Thursday and the past trauma I have from my uterine rupture is causing paralyzing anxiety. I have learned I need to listen to my body more and pushing through it without feeling it does so much more harm than good.
The other night I decided to make one small thing and decided on this piece. It is made with resin and lavender from Calyx Creek that we picked last fall. It is imperfect and uneven but it is a start back to myself.
I am not going to set a hard date to create and make new things for the shop until after surgery. Keep your eyes peeled as I am downsizing my inventory to try and tame the chaos and will be releasing new products soon!!
Thank you to all who have made it this far, and for your support.
❤️ Paige
