A tiny bit ok

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

A tiny ok. Because sometimes you only feel a tiny bit ok
.
And that’s okay.
.
It’s okay to have a wobble, to need a pause, to take a few steps backwards. .
Because that’s how we move forwards.

Totally champion maker

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

Creativity, imagination, passion, obsession, vision, expression, daydreams, emotions, inspiration, compulsion, and lots and lots of tea. All in the recipe for a totally champion maker – do you have any other secret ingredients?

This card is a reproduction of one of my original food pictures, and is available on my website and Etsy store .

Finding inspiration

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

Day 4 of #positivelyinspiring15 is inspiration – here’s how I find mine.
.
A funny story (although perhaps only because the ending wasn’t too disaterous) when I was working at the make space in Bristol museum in July, I thought it would be nice to take some unframed pieces so that people could have a good look and see the back of pieces, which often seems to be quite interesting … anyway, a lady walked in to the room and plonked her red handbag and water bottle right on top of the original of this picture ??…she clearly didn’t find it very inspiring ?
.
If you find it more inspiring than the bag lady (as we’ll now call her … serves her right for being rude ?) , cards are available on my website, etsy shop and from @hollyandcoworkshop and A4 prints are also available in my shop .

You’re doing just fine

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

Do you ever feel like you don’t have a clue what you’re doing? Everyone else seems to have it figured out, have it all together, while you… you don’t.
.
Nobody – seriously, no one – knows what they’re doing all of the time. Thinking ‘I have no idea what I’m doing’ is rarely true, and actually, it’s not what matters anyway. It’s ok not to have it all figured out, because nobody has all of the answers. What everyone else might think or say doesn’t matter either. Give it your best shot (you can always have a marmalade sandwich or two under your hat in case of emergencies) learn from what happens and keep going, because you’re doing just fine
.
The prompt for day 2 of the #positivelyinspiring15 is ‘be kind’ and that starts with being kind to yourself.

World positivity day – Positive pennants

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

It’s World Positivity Day – Yay!
.
To celebrate, @wearescamp have created a #positivelyinspiring15 insta challenge. I’m not amazing at photo challenges, but as I love the idea of posting thoughtful and inspiring words or pictures anyway, I’m going to try my hardest to join in!
.
When I was making bigger (but small!) flags the other day, I kept thinking how cute it’d be to make really tiny ones as badges. I’ve been road testing them this week, as I’ve made some with and some without the little flag sticks – my fear is that the sticks will be super annoying and catch on everything … that doesn’t seem to be the case for me, but I haven’t done the kid test yet (dog tests went well, although the subject was not very Co-operative to photograph) if you have any better ideas of what I could use instead – please do say. I love the idea of meeting a friend or passing someone in the street and giving them a little cheer without even realising you’re doing it! What do you think?
.
Hoping you all have a happy, positive World Positivity day xx

To do list

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

A little list of things for you to do this morning – it’s small but important! .
I don’t know about you, but I’m still catching up from the school holidays – I’m almost there now, but I often underestimate how long everything will take me … and how many hours I have in the day. It can be a bit disheartening looking at an ever-growing list of things to do, especially if you feel like you’re not reaching the things you really want to get to (which is usually when our good old friend comparison steps in to notice that everyone else seems to be managing it, and you’re getting left behind) but what’s a list without a few fun things added in? A few things that you can cross off straight away (because I know I can’t be the only one who does that!) some really important things, like remembering how amazing you are.
.
Happy Wednesday everyone xxx

Yes you can

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

In case you were wondering… you completely can! Keep saying yes to opportunities, and keep telling yourself that you can do it. Have a great week – you’ve got this.
.
I love making flags, and that’s exactly what I’ve done this week! I’ve listed on my website, but I’m working on clever thing on my website (when I say me, it’s the royal me, because it’s obvs Mr G and not me at all ?) so that you can choose different colour options and also ..maybe .. add your own words. I’m having a think on that one ? there’s a link in the bio anyway x
