Dear Creative Soul,Do you recognise any of these questions:◦ What if my work isn't good enough?◦ What if people think that I am a crap artist?◦ What if nobody buys my work?◦ What if I can't think of anything good after I finish my book?◦...
I’m playing together a cover/strap for my small water bottle so that I can wear it on my walks and trips to the gym etc. I’ve started and frogged this so many times, every time finding some way to make it better. I don’t mind the tangle...
This is the tin some markers came in. It was sturdy enough to keep and perfect because it has a window so I can see what’s in it. But the tin was printed with the info about the markers and I didn’t think that looked very pretty. So I...
Yesterday I was reading a book and in it a character talked about the haves and have nots and all of a sudden I had the outline of this post in my head. The haves are stealing all the creative output of the have nots. The have nots are...
When we went to see the Mandalorian and Grogu last Wednesday, we drove back home along a dyke between the IJsselmeer on one side and a large nature reserve on the other. The light was spectacular, scattered clouds with bright sunlight...
I went to therapy today, not conventional therapy, but a therapy where I learn to live with low energy. She taught me something pivotal today, and I want to write about it because it's so exciting to me, and it WORKS (tried it out a...
This is one of my journals. It’s passport sized and perfect for on the go journalling. It’s the one I used today, but I may or may not use it tomorrow. You see, I have multiple journals, in various sizes and they live all around the...
So the other day I started something new, to coax creativity out of me. I made dotty art, wrote about that on the blog last week or so. And I loved it. So much that I bought a larger canvas and some new markers with a dot and a brush...
Took this picture on our way home on Thursday. Hope it makes you smile as much as me!
So I've been pondering (sometimes heavily) a blog post. It's been in my mind for days, and it's been bugging me for days because it's not something that I know what to write on, per se. The idea popped into my head just now, and I sat...
the xteink x4 open on a background of my Pocketbook cover. You can see the two books I'm currently reading The moment I saw someone post a picture of this little technological marvel slotted into a pocket Travellers Notebook (TN) on...
Went to yoga again today, a different teacher, and it was so transformative. Instead of talking constantly, he got us to pause between each asana, in tailor seat, eyes close. I teared up several times because I could feel what each asana...
This above all—ask yourself in the stillest hour of your night: must I write? Delve into yourself for a deep answer. And if this should be affirmative, if you may meet this earnest question with a strong and simple, “I must,” then build...
I love Uni Posca pens to doodle and play with, but boy oh boy, they are expensive now. So when I saw a set of dupes at our local discount store, I got them. And I have to say I’m sort of impressed. Some of them are leaky as you can see...
