This is such an encouraging post Emily. I think many of us need a reminder that creating art doesn’t necessarily need to lead to something.
I remember someone making the observation that when children build sandcastles on the beach, they become totally immersed in the joy of creating, even though it will be either washed away by the sea at the end of the day or jumped on!
Thank you for reminding us of the sheer pleasure of simply immersing ourselves in something that we love to do.
Thank you so much. Oh that is such a lovely observation - and so true! We can all learn so much from the children, and that is why I often like to let my inner child take the lead a bit.
I am so glad you enjoyed this, I hope you manage to find some time this week to have a creative play! 💕
Oh goodness Emiliy! I don’t think I’ve ever created for fun. I think there has always been a purpose behind what I do. That means that there is judgement somewhere from someone even if it’s just me. I don’t think I would know where to start to do something just for me. Any ideas?
Oh you should definitely see if you can find ways to bring in some creativity just for fun - I see all your journal pages on instagram and they look wonderful! Do you ever scrapbook? I keep returning to the idea of a nature journal, and I do think that is something I would just keep for myself. 💕
I’m glad you like theposts. I’m a follower of Brandi Kincaid and keep wondering if perhaps a big scrapbook/ journal would be fun for me. It would also give me a way of documenting all the little adventures Nick and I go on.
Thank you Emily, I loved the visual of your creative box. It is lovely you have everything together, I have a few things but they are all over the place…🥰

oh you should Julia!

Thank you Claire! I love these boxes, they sell them on Amazon I think - and I’ve seen them in B&Q - not expensive at all.
I love that long scarf! 😍
Thank you!!!! I literally didn't want to stop, and it did end up quite big - especially as I am only 5 foot 2 (on a good day 😅)
Haha I am 5 foot 3 so I feel your pain! 😂
Thank you Emily x
Thank you for inspiring me to give my junk journal and nature journal a proper go this year 🙏
