Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking a lot about slowing down, creating softly, and caring for ourselves in ways that actually feel good. And that’s exactly what the Creative Self-Care Summit is all about 💛 It’s happening February 17–19, and it’s shaping up to be a really beautiful few days of calm, creativity, and connection. This isn’t about doing more or keeping up. It’s about small creative moments—art journaling, stitching, mindful making, and simple rituals—that help you breathe a little deeper and feel more like yourself again. We’re so excited to gather with this community and create a space that feels: 🌿 Gentle 🌿 Restorative 🌿 Open to everyone (no experience needed) If you know someone who could use a little creative breathing room right now—a friend, family member, or creative buddy—invite them to join us for this free 3-day summit. 👉 Share the registration link with them:https://hobbyscool.lpages.co/2026-creative-self-care-registration-page 💬 Let’s chat:What kind of creative self-care are you craving more of lately? Quiet journaling? Hands-on making? Just a moment to pause? Drop a word or thought below 🌿✨

Thank you to Michelle Garett for saying "Journaling gives you a place to pause, reflect, and listen".

During the conference there were some really awesome great ideas. Love how some of these turned out and wanted to share with y’all💖 The lighthouse is going to have a lighthouse on it!

This is today’s project , client wants over the top flowers, never tried this but here it is , fabric cover with patch work, silk flowers, gems , and two signatures . Both signatures are floating and can be added to. The lace closure is elastic and very soft so it doesn’t pull on the flowers

So last night I played around with mini envelopes to create a simple journal. It’s not complete but I hope to finish it this weekend I’m not totally into Valentine’s Day yet so I’ve been testing things out to see if I fall in love with any of these different projects and then create one with a Valentine theme Still on the hunt for inspiration
