The idea for these cute clay Springtime ornaments came from @laura_ten_buuren via @homeschool_daily_apple - an awesome new account I have been enjoying during these slow, quiet days. I'm feeling so inspired the awesome craft ideas being shared online right now. It's also comforting to think of all the other parents trying to educate and entertain through this strange isolation days - if that's you too then hang in there ❤ . . . . . . . . #isolationchronicles #isolationcreation #cornersofmyworld #homeschoolcollective #myhappyviews #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #isolationstories #seasonspoetry #aseasonalshift #quietchaotics

I pulled over to grab this shot of Catalina Island on the way back from Trader Joe's on Saturday and enjoyed the blue sky for a few moments. Sometimes on foggy days it really looks like the island is floating. Now it's back to life in the bunker until the next grocery run. I hope these strange days are treating you kindly? . . . . . . . . #isolationchronicles #cornersofmyworld #fromwhereistand #myhappyviews #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #isolationstories #landscapelovers #socal #socality #catalinaisland #pacificcoast

I'm trying to make Sunday baking a thing in our house to create a few landmarks in the week. We tried cinnamon buns today and it was a great success - watching dough rise still looms large in my childhood memories so I'm hoping that I'm weaving a little magic into these strange days. Here we are heading into week 2 of self isolation (bar grocery runs). It's crazy how fast things are changing. Sometimes I feel like we might come out of this stronger as a society but then I see pictures of parks in London busier than a bank holiday... One hashtag that has brought me joy this week is #isolationcreation - I love how creativity is flourishing even in a time of crisis. If this isnt the time to share your art with the world I don't know when is ❤ . . . . . . . #calledtocreate #creativehappylife #isolationcreation #isolationchronicles #cornersofmyworld #cinnamonrolls #quietchaotics #myhappyviews #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #gloomandglow #isolationstories

Trying to paint the calm that I don't feel. If you find that in the evenings the gloom and dread that you managed to push to the back of your mind during the day comes creeping in, know that you're not alone. No one will be the perfect home school teacher day in, day out. No house is big enough that it wont be hard staying home during lock down. We are all in this together and I think we're maybe all still in shock but we will rally, just not quite yet. ❤ . . . . . . . #calledtocreate #creativehappylife #oceanpainting #isolationcreation #quarentineart #isolationchronicles #modernmaker #cornersofmyworld #abmcrafty #makersofinstagram #acrylicabstract #southbay #socal

Working on embroidery ideas for the shorts that I'm currently mending. These are California poppies, one of my favourite flowers. Now feels like the time to tackle the projects that I've always thought about doing 'one day'. I need to keep my hands busy in order to keep my mind still - is anyone else the same? . . . . . . #calledtocreate #creativehappylife #sketchbook #bloomandgrow #bloomandgrowtogether #visiblemending #repairandwear #mending #upcycledclothing #refashion #slowcraft #modernmaker

Have you too been mesmerised by those liquid painting videos on Pinterest? I tried it for myself a couple of weeks ago and here are three things I learnt: ▫️ - If you're using a hair dryer you have to work fast (way faster than you think). - Sometimes the colours mix and react in weird ways (for example those patches of green in the middle of my canvas). - Having a photograph to draw inspiration from and use as a reference when mixing up the colours helped me feel grounded amidst the chaos (I'll share my original inspiration over on stories now). I've just about recovered from my last attempt and am ready to try again, would you like to see a video of the process this time? . . . . . . . #liquidart #acrylicabstract #creativityfound #creativehappylife #capturemycraft #diyhomedecor #makersmovement #southbay #socalliving #californiadreaming

Spring is in the air and has brought with it lots of ideas for home decor DIY's for me. I sat down this evening and made a list of the projects I've been mulling over lately and noticed a common theme - It seems like every room in the house is in need of wall art if some kind (or in fact, lots of kinds). I feel like this month is a month of action so am hoping to try a few ideas out over the next few weeks and will definitely come back and share my less-than-perfect results 😊 P.S This is one of my favourite houses in Palos Verdes - it always makes me stop and dream 💙 . . . . . . . #facadelovers #creativityfound #creativehappylife #thatsdarling #persuepretty #southbay #socalliving #californiadreaming #prettycitylosangeles #palosverdes

Sharing my @Deer_and_Doe_Patterns Myosotis dress again because I'm so pleased with it. And also because I want to be in vacation mode for as long as possible. I'm feeling the pull of blogging again (anyone else in the same boat?) and have posted a few thoughts on this pattern - link in bio! Have a beautiful weekend ❤ . . . . . . #ddmyosotis #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #sewingaddict #handmadeootd #creativityfound #abmhappylife #livecolorfully #southbay #socal
