5 things for the weekend 23.17
on moving on, best fantasy books, free crochet pattern, organise your studio, book club meeting
As it’s the start of a new month, I am focusing my attention on what I need to finish. How have I been at doing what I set out to do in April? This is when I take a good look at my unfinished plans and projects, and decide what I will be carrying forward, and what I will be leaving behind. I think many of us were brought up to always finish what we started, but sometimes you have to cut your losses, especially after new information and priorities change your context. Of course it’s important to keep commitments and promises, but sometimes it’s best to move on from things that are no longer meaningful, or that no longer serve us. What is that for you this month?
5 Things
1. If you know me, you know that organisation is my jam (let’s just ignore the current state of my studio). I loved these five tips from Mindful Art on organising a studio space.
2. What are the best fantasy books of all time? You may not agree with this list from Books and Bao, but it sure is food for thought!
3. Enjoy a free week of Zen creativity with the Making Zen Retreat, starting May 15th.
4. Your furry friend deserves a spot to relax in style! Make this crochet chaise longue for cats.
5. What’s for breakfast tomorrow? How about some Cheesy Air Fryer hashbrowns? Yum!

What are you doING?
“To allow yourself to play with another person is no small risk. It means allowing yourself to be open, to be exposed, to be hurt. .”
