And breathe! 🧘‍♀️ 😊
Wow what a busy past week 😅 we have had in the studio with so many events, workshops and private parties. So heart warming to see the studio full of buzz and creativity.
.
Apologies for the lack of social media engagement but we have had such a wonderful time immersing ourselves in creativity and mindfulness with our lovely customers.
.
Monday has now come around again and we know how quiet we’ve been on insta and FB. As a small business I’m sure most of you can relate to that guilt of not posting, getting behind on admin and too exhausted for your family and friends. It’s such a hard journey following your passion and very hard to forgive yourself when you just can’t manage absolutely everything! But… oh boy…we wouldn’t swap it for the world as we are getting to live our dream and meet the most amazing people.
.
We want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our wonderful followers, customers, friends and family who are supporting us to live out our creative dream!
.
Talking of creative dreams, passion and mindfulness 😉 …here are some photos from a truly gorgeous mindful vision boarding, healing and meditation workshop delivered by @lisabedlow last week @creativ.spaces
.
Enjoy and much love ❤️

Last Sunday was all about learning to paint in watercolour and ink. A beautiful combination 🎨 🖊
.
We all had a wonderful day with fantastic tuition from our talented Master Maker and @creativelocale artist Liz Baldin. This particular workshop was all about painting flowers but more painting themes and skills led classes coming soon.
.
Missed this one and want to get creative on canvas? Why not try our painting in acrylics workshop this Saturday morning. All info on the website.

Day 5 (last Friday) of Greenfingers & Gluesticks -

Day 5 (last Friday) of Greenfingers & Gluesticks - was all about the future! Ironic when our post is about the past 🤣(we’re a bit delayed in posting the last day sorry)
.
We looked at all things futuristic but not as you know it! We used our imaginations to discover a new world where nature was at peace with man, the wildlife flourished, happiness bubbles over and the environment was cared for.
.
We created Alice in Wonderland style doors 🚪 that led to another realm. Inside that realm is a recipe for a potion 🧪 that when drunk has special superpowers. We had happy potions 😊 , enlightenment potions 💡 and potions to help you sleep better 💤 . Then we created plant people to live in the realm - some with edible plants 🌱
.
We finished today’s session with some incredibly meditative zentangle style drawing!
.
Plus we even did a mini mural to celebrate our week of nature art fun! It will take pride of place in our cosy courtyard for all visitors to see and enjoy. We even have an abstract mural of a colour which has embodied a person called ‘Margaret’ 🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️Don’t you just love a child’s mind!
.
What a wonderful week we had and once again thank you to all the wonderful children who attended (and the amazing parents who chose our club).
.
Until next time…love and warm wishes

Today is officially #worldentrepreneursday so we wanted to give a massive shout out to all our fellow small businesses struggling each day to realise their dream!
.
As a small business owner we know how hard it is…
⏱You work long…very loooong hours with often very little reward initially.
🧾You are the sales, marketing, accounts, operations and everything department!
❌You make a lot - and I mean - a lot of mistakes at the start
😨Some days you feel like giving up
It’s bloody scary!
.
But…
.
>Are you doing what you love? ✔️ Totally!
>Do you do a little jump every time someone buys from you or gives you great feedback - 💯 %
>Does everyday give you a new challenge to overcome and a chance to build your confidence and skillset - 👍definitely
>Are you making your dreams come true! ❤️Yes yes yes!
.
So to all you brave, hardworking and tenacious entrepreneurs out there…keep going, keep dreaming, you are doing amazing! 😘

Day 4 (Thursday) of Greenfingers & Gluesticks was all about ‘Natural Forms.’
.
Today we focused on pattern, colour and texture in nature.
.
Starting with a look at artist Andy Goldsworthy and his nature art. We then talked about mandalas and looked at some nature mandalas too.
.
Our time then was filled with designing and making nature mandala suncatchers, mindful nature sketching, making organic shaped plant pots and filling them with seeds.
.
To end our session today we read a mindful poem about clouds and went on a mind journey on our own cloud. We had all sorts of shapes, sizes, textures, patterns and colours of clouds.
.
Thank you wonderful children for a beautifully colourful and calming workshop! 💚
