When was the last time you created something just for yourself? ๐ค Not for work. Not for the house
When was the last time you created something just for yourself? ๐ค Not for work. Not for the house. Not for the kids. Just because you wanted to. A few months ago I made this watermelon crochet top ๐โจ No deadline. No pressure. Just me, some cotton yarn and a creative idea. And honestly, I haven't done a whole lot of crochet since. My Kindle has completely taken over and most of my spare time these days is spent with my nose in a book ๐ ๐ But creating has always been something I've loved. I love keeping my hands busy. I love making something from nothing. And I've found it's incredibly good for my mental health. It gives my brain somewhere else to go. A creative outlet that's just for me. These days, one of my favourite parts is sharing it with Lola. Over the years she's really fallen in love with crochet too, and it's become something we can do together. Sitting side by side. Creating. Chatting. Learning. Making memories without even realising it ๐ค I think as parents it's important that we still keep a few things for ourselves. A hobby. A passion. A creative outlet. Something that reminds us we're not just parents, chauffeurs, cooks and cleaners ๐ We're people too. And sometimes making time for the things we enjoy is exactly what helps us show up better for everyone else. So tell me... What do you create? ๐โจ
