Creative Practice
Written By Sarah Hailey

I hope y’all had a good weekend! Mine was a blur with Luke working overtime and Sunday being a travel day, but last week was a good one too! Here’s a bit of what it looked like:

Monday was a GREAT mail day! I ordered the most beautiful necklace from Yuuka Universe and it has a baby bok choy!! 🩷🥬

✨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.

Sunlit forest scene with bright green trees and grass surrounding a small creek in the background.

TN is having the most beautiful Spring weather this year!

 
Clear shallow creek water with visible rocks and sunlight reflecting on the surface.

The lack of rain means that the creek is crystal clear!

 
Hand-painted green clover paper cutouts arranged on a grid cutting mat with pencils and art tools.

I finally got to play with my painted papers again!

 
Blue hand-painted star paper cutouts scattered across a craft table with scissors and colored pencils.

A flow state might have been reached while making these bits… ✨✂️🩵

My Ghibli Life ☁️🌾🌿🤍

One of my small joys of rural life: 🎨🚂✨

 
Yellow freight train car with green graffiti moving past a railroad crossing sign.

…my growing collection of train graffiti photos.

 
Flat lay of green clover, blue stars, and red ladybug paper collage cutouts arranged on white paper and a cutting mat.

It’s a party now! The ladybugs have arrived.🐞🍀⭐

 

Marshmallow + Wild Yam 🍠🤍 sounds yum! 😉

Torch Lilies are looking STUNNING at the library lately. 🔥

We finally had a wee sprinkle of rain one morning, and it made these bearded irises ✨sparkle✨!

Handmade paper collage featuring clovers, stars, and ladybugs arranged into a repeating pattern design

I loved making this hand-painted paper collage pattern this week. Now to digitize it and see what else I can make!

There’s a lot going on in the world right now, so I’ve been trying to hold onto the small, slow moments that make it feel ok, at least for a moment.

A little moment of color, calm, or beauty…

What’s one glimmer from your week? I’d love to hear it 🌿

Xo,

Sarah
