Good morning ladies!
Thank your for your confidence boosters. In my classroom we called them put ups My favorite mediums to work with are wood, stone, metal, suede, leather. All natural materials. I love rocks. Just to have them around is pleasing. I have been on etsy a few times. I haven't delved deeply into it. My surplus jewelry supply is low right now. We packed up and moved in December and my studio hasn't been set back up yet. Maybe a store on there I could do. I have a website already but haven't designed it yet. JenZenJewelry. I am finding the creative arts are soothing for me. My world was surrounded by music prior to my injury. I can't get back to it yet with hypercusis but I'm hopeful. I found a new soothing activity yesterday. My family does egg roll day once a year. We have a perfected system nearly down pat. It's quite an event, one my sister and I have to take brain breaks during. Yesterday I rolled them and found it to be very soothing and relaxing for my head. Therapeutic actually. Eating them was good too! Jace

Egg rolls. Who would have thought of it? lol
All these things would be very good for your fine motor skills during your recovery too, Jace. |

Lara,
They really have been great for my fine motor skills. My hands aren't as steady as before but I'm working at it. The jewelry making is good for so many brain different brain functions. It helped get me from not being able to do basic math to nearly doing it without reminders on how. Plus just basic thinking. I credit my neuropsychologist for pushing me to get a hobby. It made my brain have to work. It's important for us to keep going. Life is therapy. Jace

Yes, this is so true what you discovered. I'd be lost without my art as well. Sometimes when I hurt too much to do any work, I can do some in my head! It helps me fall asleep, and keeps me sharp too!

MrsD,
I do stuff in my head too. Sometimes that's all I can do. I truly believe getting a hobby saved my life. Jace
