How do you say:
" I was praysed, but my deeds weren't called miracles"
I figured it starts "laudatus eram sed..."

Laudatus sum, sed opera meae non sicut miraculi spectabantur.

Word by word: "Laudatus sum, sed opera mea appellata non sunt miracula". A note: "opera" is a typical neutral plural, which calls for the agreement of ending "a" in "mea" and "appellata". Also "miracula" happens to be another neutral plural, just by chance.
Alternatives: you may replace "appellata" by "putata", which means "regarded"; you may insert an "ut" before "miracula", which means "as".
Your own suggestion of "laudatus eram" would more properly mean "I had been praised".

Laudatus sum sed gesta mea sicut miracula non dicebantur.
Literally,
'I was praised, but my deeds were not being spoken of as miracles.'
