This is a close up of my pen on paper doodle drawing, that I completed at the end of last year. I adore the organic, fluid pattern created by going with the flow and experimenting. Just letting go is incredibly soothing and an effective mindful approach for when you are looking for some time to yourself. Do you ever just doodle or draw without a plan of what it will look like at the end or do you need to visualise what it will look like before starting? I do urge you to try and not think about the end result and just let your pen/pencil take the lead and see what unravels on the paper. I have a few of my doodle art drawings looking for new homes at my shop via my bio link. They would make a great edition to your home, take a peak. : : : : : : #doodleart #doodleartist #penonpaper #penonpaperart #penart #penartist #doodledrawings #penonpaperdrawings #pullandpin #slowartist #mindfulartist #slowart #theartofslow #intuitiveartist #just_pen_art (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBxLiv1Hjsk/?igshid=1po8v1a5971sd

What does time for you look like? or does that seem like a dream and not your reality?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For so long I used to blame everything around me for not allowing me to have time to get on with work or selfcare. I realised that it was up to me and not others to make this happen. I work from home and have young kids who get up quite early, I decided enough of the blame game and poor me attitude. I now get up extra early before the kiddies wake up so I can start the day on my terms and give myself some head space. Sometimes I get straight into work or other times all I want to do to is create. I am loving getting on with my doodle drawings as it is such a calming and soothing process.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Will you make time for yourself?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ : ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #doodleart #doodleartist #penonpaper #penonpaperart #penart #penartist #doodledrawings #penonpaperdrawings #pullandpin #slowartist #mindfulartist #slowart #theartofslow #intuitiveartist #just_pen_art #selfcaretime #timejustforyou #earlymorningroutine #startthedayonyourterms #mindfuldrawing #maketimeforyou (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvCOf6Ha4M/?igshid=192bvrb3j9ny1

Good Morning⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a great quote to remind me not to blame others and to make my choices for that change. I used to do a lot of blaming for my lack of time to work, being so tired as my boys wake up so early, not having time just for me and my selfcare - the list goes on....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once I started to change my mindset and realised that only I was holding myself back it truly was a game changer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What can you do for you to make a positive change?

Good Morning! Every morning as part of my routine I make a little time to read while having breakfast. I love this as it is so relaxing and I get to read some inspirational books. Today I am starting a new book that has been highly recommended to me. It's my time for a little calmness while eating. If you have little kids you know that eating and calmness can be a rarity! What are you reading at the moment? Any recommendations that you would like to share? 💜 (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsE2vkHtQc/?igshid=1wxpcuaevwpdv

I realise how lucky I am to live a short walk away from the beach. I am usually there very early in the morning as part of my morning ritual. I go to clear my head and make some time just for me before the usual madness of family life begins another day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you do that is just for you when you are in need of some selfcare time? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #morningrituals #miraclemornings #morningroutine #timeforme #timeforyou #selfcaretime #timetopause #mindfulliving #pullandpin #slowartist #mindfulartist #slowmovement #theartofslow #slowlifestyle #slowliving #slowerpaceinlife (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBn9I8LnL-a/?igshid=1usp6yi6d7388

Do you know that June is national Migraine and Headache Awareness month?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I unfortunately do suffer from hideous migraines and it can feel quite debilitating at times. Last year one of the things I started to do to help me ride through the pain was doodle draw. I know that might sound odd but it really did help me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I couldn't just hide away in a dark quiet room, as that was tricky with little kids. So I found the process of focusing on my pen on paper quite soothing. The meditative process of just going with the flow while doodle drawing helped me to forget the pain. I could easily spend hours doodle drawing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This doodle sketch was my visual representation of what my migraine felt like. I usually see squirmy squiggles and purple is the predominant colour.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pullandpin #migraineinspiredart #migraineart #mham #mham2020 @nationalheadachefoundation #artsandhealth #artandwellbeing #slowartist #doodleartist #intuitiveartist #mindfulartist (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBk14eLndvv/?igshid=1tu23cegsfurg

Great news that ITV Creates has been shortlisted for the @designweekmag Award in the TV, Film and Video Graphics Category!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had the pleasure of working on the ITV ident beginning of this year with the inspirational ladies from the @asianwomenresourcecentre using my slow stitching technique.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All the team that we worked with were brilliant and really made our day at the studios. A day that we won't forget.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @quietdownthere @itvcreatives @charliellevine @electricrobin @kevianbatch @theo_deproost #itvcreates #designweekmag #slowstitching #pullandpin #slowartist #communityarts #empower #artcollaboration #socialengagement #itvarts #artsandhealth #itvlogo #BAME #itvidents #itvlogo #collaborativeart #embroiderlove #theartofslow #slowstitchartist #mindfulartist (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBkTi0rnYlK/?igshid=1wswc884pjnu8

I feel so lucky to be creating with a technique that I adore. Slow stitching is a brilliant process for calming the mind and giving you time to just pause and be in the moment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the first works I produced with slow stitching was this large 12 inch diameter hoop wall art. I currently have 4 of these in my slow stitch wall art collection. The process is incredibly labour intensive as I intricately hand sew my designs. I work in an intuitive way where I let the needle and thread take the lead and see what develops. Each work is unique and original and would certainly make a statement, where ever you chose to display it in your space.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out my collection at my shop via my bio link. You are worth treating yourself or gift it to someone who deserves a treat too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #slowstitching #slowstitch #slowart #stitchart #slowartist #slowsticthartist #mindfulart #mindfulartist #slowstitchmovement #theartofslow #colourismyjam #printspatternstextureohmy #slowcrafting #slowcraft #organicpatterns #organicdesigns #organicshapes #intuitiveartist #pullandpin #artinthehome #abstractembroidery #creativehome #slowstitcher #intuitiveart (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBie00inNsO/?igshid=5vqrpr0qquum

What colour would you choose for your slow stitching? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love hanging out at haberdashery shop in the threads department and take in the kaleidoscope of colours on offer. To me its like buying paint as I guess working with threads is my paint on fabric. I can't wait when we are able to safely visit the shops to explore more threads.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can try slow stitching for yourself by joining me at my online slow stitch workshops. All the information and booking details can be found via my bio link. If you are quick you can even take advantage of my early bird tickets which will end today at 8pm (UK time) for the Wed 1st July workshop.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ : ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #slowart #slowstitch #slowartist #slowatitchartist #slowcrafting #pullandpin #theartofslow #mindfulart #mindfulworkshops #slowstitching #slowstitchworkshops #onlineworkshops #selfcareart #timeforyou #selfcaretime #montessorimums #montessoriactivities #mindfulactivities #selfcareactivities #mindfulartist (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBizaWunN6E/?igshid=5ji65i2320zu
