A patchwork of reflections, beginnings, and those unexpected moments that gently changed my course. Some scribbled in the dark (or rather tapped into my phone with one eye open), some shared on social media, and some still waiting to become blog posts.
"Look after myself to look after my family"
THAT FATEFUL VISION BOARDING SESSION
"I decided I needed to learn digital art"
INSPIRED BY A LITTLE FREE WEBINAR
A small Creative Sanctuary update 🌿
Creative Sanctuary in Darlington — a gentle, community-minded space to slow down and create in the company of others. New dates.
Why creativity matters more than we might realise
Creativity is more than making art. Discover how it supports wellbeing, reduces stress, and helps us reconnect with everyday joy.
Imagine yourself, this time next Friday…
Ok Reader, imagine this…This time next Friday… You’re sitting with your creative project in front of you.A warm cup of tea beside you. You look up and the person at the next table gives you a smile.No pressure to produce anything.No deadlines.No expectations. Just a few uninterrupted hours to create in peaceful company. Bring whatever creative project is calling to you — knitting, sketching, writing, sewing, painting, scrapbooking, mending, or exploring something new. You’re also welcome…
Creative Sanctuary is continuing: Save the dates!
