Weekly Glimmers | A Week In Pictures - Feb 15 - 22

Creative Practice
Written By Sarah Hailey

Last week we saw our first taste of Spring and it was GLORIOUS! Warm temps and fresh plant babies are popping up in the shops. It was also my first full week back in the studio in way too long and LAWD it felt nice to get shit done! :)

✨Weekly Glimmers is a photo series about noticing small moments of creativity, nervous system safety and meaning while healing, parenting, and building a sustainable creative life.

They were $2 each, so I couldn’t resist. I brought home some new plants to brighten our dull front flower bed.

Rose remnants from last week’s gifts. Why does having fresh flowers on my desk make me feel like I’ve got my life together?

Car pickup sketching. One of my favorite weekly rituals. The quiet is such a balm.

Coloring in after bedtime is also a favored ritual of mine. :D It’s so addictive and soothing that I often have to kick my own ass to actually go to bed.
