Today was full of creativity… just not all in the obvious ways. 🧐 We went out and bought lots of beautiful bedding plants for the garden, so I’ve been knee-deep in compost and pansies. 🌸 💗 I took this picture below of my handsome boy Reggie and completely changed the background in Photoshop. This evening I’ve been editing some footage I took at the beach the other day. 🏖️☀️ And come to think of it… I got creative in the kitchen too and made pizzas with a yummy salad. 🍕 I love days like these. Variety keeps things interesting, but it’s also a lovely reminder that creativity doesn’t only live in drawing or painting. It can show up in gardens, kitchens, cameras, ideas, and all the little ways we shape a day. 📷🧑‍🍳🪏 A smidgen of creativity can be found almost anywhere if you look for it. 🫶🏻💜 Where did your creativity show up today ? Or was it taking a day off ? Which is obvs ok too 🙌🏻💜 Oh there’s also a picture of the sunsetting this evening. Will get pic of the garden tomorrow 👌

The more we look, the more the world seems to echo itself. A nebula in the vastness of space… Looks strangely like the iris of a human eye.👁️ The death of a star… ⭐ Mirrors the moment a cell divides and life begins. The branching patterns inside our lungs… 🫁 🌳 Look almost identical to the roots and limbs of trees reaching into the earth. It’s as if nature is quietly repeating the same language everywhere. From the smallest cell To the largest galaxies. Different scales… Same patterns. A gentle reminder perhaps that we’re not separate from the universe at all. We are part of it. ✨💜 Made of the same dust, the same rhythms, the same beautiful designs. And when you pause and notice it… the world suddenly feels a little more magical.

I’ll go first! Honestly, my house might be the answer 🙈 There are paintbrushes drying by the sink, leaves in jars waiting to be painted, tools and sketching bits scattered across my desk, and little stacks of paper hanging up ready to become something. Even my fridge seems to end up storing art supplies occasionally 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 And then there’s the giant octopus on the wall keeping watch over it all. It’s a bit chaotic, a bit colourful, and very lived-in but that’s how creativity often looks. Not perfect… just full of ideas waiting to happen. Now it’s your turn 👀 Show me something in your home that says you’re a creative. It could be: • a messy desk • a favourite notebook • your tools or materials • a half-finished project • or even a corner where you like to think Pop a photo below and let’s have a little wander through each other’s creative worlds. 🖌️

Welcome to the Smidgen community @Rolland Chris I look forward to seeing more of you and your work 🫶🏻

We don’t always find family where we first learned our name. Sometimes they arrive quietly later on with warm hands and listening hearts. They sit beside us without asking us to be anything else. And for a moment wherever we are we are not alone.
