Good morning!

Welcome to Painfully Crafty, my forgotten little gem. I'm back.

All of these projects helped to keep my mind calm through all the chaos that comes with having had 2 spinal surgeries.

[None of the items on this page are for Sale or reproduction.]

In the fall of 2021, I started the preparation for my third spinal surgery. With those preparations, I threw my first mammogram on the pile.

Surgery on my spine came to a full stop.

I have breast cancer. Gears revved, I was not going down without a fight. I went through so many surgeries and finished Treatment 2023.

I'm cancer free !

At this moment I would be grateful to all of you if you would give me some time. I am still working through the physical and mental trauma that comes from more spinal surgeries and cancer. my mental and emotional health just gave up on me.

Be excited, though, to see what I make next!

Please accept my apologies.

Mary
