Hi everyone, just checking in to let you know that I'm still alive. Most of you know what I've been through, and it hasn't been easy for me during the past years. I stopped making macrame for a while because it was difficult to force creativity when my mind and emotions weren't ready. I know I took a long break, but every day I think about my love for macrame. I pray every day that my talent for creating pieces will come back. There are moments when I wonder if I can still return to making macrame. But here I am, trying my best to be inspired again.

I hope my creative juice continues to flow so that I can return to creating masterpieces. I'm not aiming to sell as strongly as I did before, but I still hope that there are people who will appreciate my work. As an artist, being able to create a few pieces and find happiness in my creations is enough to fulfill my heart's happiness and share it with those who can appreciate it. We have all experienced the darkest moments of our lives, but I pray that we all make it through. Let's inspire each other and never forget to be kind.. 😍

For the longest time, I’ve been stuck in this place, just trying to survive my life.
It’s been a mishmash of an emotional rollercoaster with spots of joy mixed in.
It’s been hard to keep going sometimes, never knowing what challenges the day would throw at me.
After a while, I stopped living and started just trying to make it..
And that’s a terrible place to be.
There’s very little joy in the deepest darkness and I found myself stuck there.
But throughout it all, no matter where my steps took me, I always lifted my head and tried to find the light.
I knew it was out there, I just kept getting blindsided by all the disasters life could muster.
One thing was certain.
I had to grow.
I had to change.
I had to transform who I was and how I thought to rise above the struggles that threatened to consume me.
Step by step, day by day, I climbed out of rock bottom and started seeing the light.
It wasn’t easy and I couldn’t always see the path ahead, but I didn’t have to be perfect and it wasn’t a race.
I just had to persevere.
I had been stuck in that place for far too long and I didn’t belong there..
So, I started following my heart and filling my soul with passion and kept climbing the mountains of failure that used to crush me beneath their weight.
Slowly and surely, I clawed my way out of the places I used to dwell and started to see and feel the light that I had sought for so long.
I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m making that change that I’ve needed for so long..
I’m not that person any more that didn’t know how to get up, stand up and rise again.
It’ll always be part of my past and it’s made me who I am, but I now embrace my flaws and appreciate my scars.
Looking in the mirror doesn’t scare or depress me anymore, it makes me realize something every day:
I can do this, I’m worth it and I’ll never stop until I get where I need to be.
I am and always will be a warrior..one that will never forget that I am meant for more.

Hey everyone, Mommy Jaya here. I know its been awhile since I last posted anything macrame related. I honestly can't get back at it. Sorry to those who waited and are hoping for new creations again.

I don't know if I will still be making macrame projects in the next few months or years. Sad to say that it's really difficult for me to move on due to past tragic events. My personal fb and ig accounts were also hacked.

To those who follow me here because of my macrame projects, feel free to unfollow me because I can't see myself doing that for the time being.

For now I will be using this as my personal space. Thank you for the love and support.

Namiss ko kayong lahat! 🙂

To my dear clients,

Knotty Jaya will be on break and will resume operations when my heart is ready. I just lost my husband and I need as much time to grieve for the painful loss and adjust to the new life I'll be facing moving forward.

To my clients who already placed their orders, rest assured that I will finish and deliver them to you, but for now, I need to stop production.

Knotting will resume both for previously accepted and new orders on mid-January for delivery on February.

As an artist, I pour my heart in each creation I personally make for my clients. But right now, the heart needs a little time off to recuperate. Rest assured, once back in operations, you'll receive a beautiful and unique macrame piece, handcrafted with love.

Thank you and I'm hoping for your kind understanding.

With much love,
Jaya 💔
