endeavors

Well, lovelies, I'm not gonna lie. This has been a very difficult week for me. Dealing with a lot of really gross stuff from my past, but hopefully this is the final stage of that; or at least, final stage of dealing with it in a public forum. Personally, I know very well that the repercussions of my horrific childhood will go on for the rest of my life.

SO. Anyway. *grimace*

On that note... I've barely had it in me to interact with other humans as I try to process my emotions in the moment (still a pretty new concept for me). Work has been really hard, and I've relied heavily on caffeine to get me through it. At home I have mostly been hiding in my room, taking short but frequent naps and putting what energy I do have into some creative projects. It is so theraputic for me to make something pretty when my mind is crowded with the ugliness of the past.

Pictures are doing more for me than words these days. Thus, the photos and slideshow for my sweet sweet cousins (the former of which, by the way, is sunshine personified, and the latter an everlasting firework). In addition, I would also like to introduce to you TWO image-rich new blogs by vera kate!


Vera's Closet


In which I attempt, on occasion, to be fashionable.


AND


vera kate gets creative


In which I show off some of my sewing projects,
and give followers first notice on sales and promotions happening
in my Etsy shop (still under construction).



I think I might have reached a kind of turning point today, and hopefully will be feeling better again soon. Thank you all so much for your sweet comments and ongoing support. xo -- vera
