Hey, I'm Jamie. Nestled in a tiny town in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, I've always felt connected to quiet places and honest storytelling. The day after my 31st birthday, life threw me a curveball, and I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. That moment rewired the way I navigate the world, forcing me to adapt, reflect, and show up for myself in new ways.
In the midst of it all, I found crafting, not just as a hobby, but as a lifeline. Creating became my way to grieve, heal, and stay grounded without slipping into unhealthy coping habits. Art gave me a space to feel deeply and process what I was going through.
So, I kept creating. Because sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is take that next step.
