The reality of being a Creative with an autoimmune disorder is that I can't always finish the project *right then* Cutting out is harder for me than the actual sewing part, but it needs to be done. As I age and things get worse I feel less powerful. Today I couldn't get two carts apart at the store. I just don't have the strength anymore. But by crafting, by creating, and by upcycling, I get to feel sorta powerful as I create something. But I have to do it slower than I want, which really sucks.
