I couldn’t not share this insane sky we had tonight. 😍 Every now and then nature reminds us that it doesn’t need a paintbrush to create a masterpiece. The clouds were set ablaze with glowing oranges, soft pinks and hints of purple, and for a few precious minutes the whole world seemed to pause. 😍 No filters could ever quite capture the feeling of standing there and watching the sky paint itself. I hope you managed to catch a little piece of it wherever you are. 🌅🧡 Sometimes the greatest artist of all is the one above us. 💛

Mine has four paws, a big heart, and a way of making every day better. ❤️

When I started Smidgen of Calm I never imagined we’d become a community of over 100 creative souls. ✨ So rather than celebrating me, I’d love to celebrate us. 🙏🏼🙌🏻❤️ Here’s the challenge… Create one tiny square of art ! It can be a doodle, painting, collage, photograph, poem, pattern, pressed flower… absolutely anything that feels like you. Keep it small. Keep it joyful. Keep it unapologetically yours. Once everyone has shared their square, I’ll stitch them together into one giant artwork that represents this wonderful little corner of the internet. One hundred people. One hundred different stories. One beautiful piece of art. I genuinely can’t wait to see what we create together. 💜

It’s the end of a very warm day here in South Cornwall, and just before the sun disappeared for the evening, I reached for my camera. 📷 There’s something magical about that last light. It doesn’t shout for attention, it quietly slips through the garden, kissing petals, leaves and stems goodnight before the day comes to a close. 🌅 I stood there for a while, simply noticing. No grand adventure, no destination… just a few peaceful moments watching ordinary plants become extraordinary in the golden light. Sometimes creativity isn’t about making something at all. 🧐 Sometimes it’s about slowing down long enough to truly see. 🥰🙌🏻 I hope these little moments remind you to look up, look closer, and find the beauty waiting quietly in your own corner of the world. 💜🌿

Being away has been wonderful, but it also means I’m giving myself permission to take a breather. So this week, instead of opening a new destination, let’s do something a little different… ✨ Share a photo of one of your favourite travel memories. It could be from the other side of the world, a weekend away, or even a beautiful place just down the road. I’d love to see the places that have stayed with you and hear the little story behind them. No passport required… just a lovely memory. 💛 Pics are from a trip I took with @Gina Fenton to Turkey a few years ago 🙌🏻 🙈
