In my quest to build a meaningful, stress-reduced existence, I’ve been exploring the ins and outs of living a Minimalist lifestyle. I am, by, no means, a minimalist yet! I’m finding it very hard to let go, especially of the children’s artwork and keepsakes. However, I have filled many bags with ‘stuff’. Bags destined for the charity shop, freecycle and the …
Earlier this month I sponsored the Creatively Squared challenge on Instagram ‘cs_flowersandfoliage’. The lovely Creatively Squared team also published my guest post on their website about The Importance of Play. I just wanted to expand upon that post over here because, frankly I’m passionate about the power of play. “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old …
I’ve had a terrible time with unruly plant life in my house recently. I’ve taken some videos of some of the offending florals and documented it on my Steller Stories channel. Do let me know if you have any advice 😉 Leave a comment below, on Steller Stories or over on my Instagram account. And Finally… You have one more …
Self Doubt. It’s shitty. It’s a creativity killer. But it’s also an inevitable part of life. For artists, makers, photographers and creatives, it goes with the territory. And I’ve definitely had my fair share. Just before Christmas I had a massive bout of self doubt. Like getting tangled in a fishing net, it got hold of me and dragged me down. I lost …

My growth on Instagram I would describe as slow, but steady and definitely a labour of love. Like I said at the Brighton Etsy team Instagram talk last week, Instagram has been a fantastic …
I honestly don’t know where to begin. It’s been months since I’ve been able to return to this place in cyberspace to chat and share about recent goings on. There’s been a lot of soul searching, that’s for sure. I’ve recently resigned from my social media and digital marketing job at new visitor attraction, British Airways i360 in Brighton, to return to freelance …
As you know I’m a huge Instagram fan. I use the platform as a way of taking half an hour to be creative (mostly) everyday. It’s been a fantastic way of experimenting and discovering new techniques that I can use in my illustrations. I’ve also connected with some wonderful creative people as a result of the platform too. Here’s a …
It’s called mind over mattress – a term coined by Robin Sharma, a leadership expert. Apparently early risers are more productive, including many well known leaders, such as Barack Obama and Richard Branson. Creatives, such as Ernest Hemingway and Frank Lloyd Wright, benefited from the early start too. Whilst thinking about this post I googled the terms ‘increased productivity early mornings’, ‘creatvies …
Hello, how’s your week been? It’s been a sunny one in Brighton this week. Weather wise and due to my continued high after the Brighton Etsy Craft Party last Friday. The 2015 theme for this global event was ‘Kaleidoscope: Paper Taking Shape’, Held at the Brighthelm Centre, the venue became a crafty creative hub for 3 hours. Cutting, sticking, printing, drinking, …
