Perfectionism often creeps in when starting someth

Perfectionism often creeps in when starting something new and means we procrastinate and find every excuse under the sun why we can’t. I’m constantly ignoring the thoughts and mind chatter to just wait until everything is “just right”. Instead I remind myself to J U S T S T A R T and let it all be an fabulous experiment! 🌸 I’ve noticed that our resistance is often an indication their is magic on the other side!

Is there something you’ve been putting off starting?
Could you wipe away the stories and consider getting started tomorrow?

A little BTS of our recent Sewing Circle photo shoot ✨ So grateful to the beautiful Jenna @opalimagerystudio and my amazing friends @tuesdaytaryn @m.e.g.a.n.p.w.i.l.s.o.n @panpottery @flowerrosedolls for helping this all come together!! It really was so much fun creating magic together ✨

Friends!! Hello! It's been so long since I've shared a picture of me around here! I much prefer being behind the camera, but I also know how lovely it is to meet the maker & creator behind these little squares! So here I am at a recent sewing circle gathering & photo shoot.

A few little things to share if you're new around here (and welcome!!)

I'm a mum of 3 children (13, 11, 5) and totally in love with creating beauty with my hands.... hand stitching is probably my greatest love, but making delicious food, taking photos and tending my garden also fills me with joy.

✨ Everything I share here is to inspire you to connect to your truest most expressed self.

💛 To tend to your creative heart just like you would a newborn.

🌼 To bump up your needs & self care on your "to-do" list.

🌙 To believe in yourself and the dreams that swirl within you.

Creativity is our life force energy and can be nurtured in so many ways. I teach hand sewing, Waldorf doll making & weaving magic into childhood - because these are the things that have kept me nourished & filled up through the demands of motherhood.

Beyond my love of creativity, I believe that the most powerful thing you can do at this point in time, as the world continues to change, is to get to know yourself.

Human Design, Astrology & Gene Keys are my go-tos.

(...if you're just starting on this journey - I highly recommend getting to know your Strategy & Authority in Human Design and starting to experiment with that)

Thanks so much for following along here. I started writing my first blog in 2010 "the little gnomes home" and appreciate every one of you who have contributed to the conversation and journey over the years. 💜

Loving the colours of our latest project. After months of making magic for our children, this month we’re making something just for us ✨

A little dragon hatchling arrived in the membership this past month ✨I really wasn’t so sure I’d be able to create a dragon nor did I really feel dragons were my thing, but I had so many requests I wanted to give it a go. So happy I did as I just love him! A lesson to always be willing to step outside your comfort zone… lots of magic lives there ✨

Stealing a few quiet moments in the sunshine worki

Stealing a few quiet moments in the sunshine working on a new project. Life has been so full **(I like this word much better than saying B U S Y all the time, don’t you?)** and some days I honestly feel like I can’t keep up. I know these times of increased frequency are aligning us to New Earth or whatever you want to call the ascension we are undergoing, but it really does feel a little crazy atm.

Despite feeling like I have little time, I show up to create everyday. Sometimes at 10am and other days at 10pm.

….because I deeply believe that our creative spirit needs nurturing for our wellbeing and life force✨

🌼10 or so minutes to play with colour, fabric and pretty stitches makes me a happier me and much more present mum.

I’d love to know what are you going to do with your next spare 10 minutes??

A few of the gorgeous fabrics I came home with from @sand_salt_sew 💜 New fabrics are always filled with so much inspiration and potential of what they could become. Can’t wait to cut into these and create a little magic ✨

Magical Wool Felt Unicorns 🦄 … a recent project inside our Sewing Circle. I’m contemplating these as my first Sewing kit. Which one do you love the best?

When I asked in my stories a few weeks ago the little purple one got the most votes…. I love the pink and yellow one I’m making in this video!

✨Love to know favourite in the comments?!
