The Single Mum's Self Care

[sunflower]

As a creative person, I definitely find relaxation in drawing and bringing colours to life. The sense of accomplishment from creating something from scratch is therapeutic.

Are there any paintings or art pieces you've created that you are particularly proud of? It's wonderful to see the finished product and think, "Hey, I made that!"

I've always been quite proud of my garden artwork! I create little sculptures using natural materials from my garden - stones, seeds, plants, and even some roots! They're very earthy and definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoy the process and the connection with nature.

It's quite satisfying to create something 3D, especially when it comes to life so organically. Like discovering little fairies' homes among the flowers and plants! My kids love it too, and it's become a fun activity we do together during the holidays. We even have a little competition with neighbors to see who can make the coolest natural sculpture - although it's more of a friendly bond-building exercise than an actual competition.

It's also a great way to appreciate the beauty and variety of nature, and the kids learn a lot about the different plants and their uses too.

That sounds like fun! I've never heard of such creative ways to appreciate nature's bounty. You're so creatively charged and it's inspiring! Those neighborhood competitions sound like a wonderful community-building initiative too.

It is enjoyable discovering these unique, secret fairy gardens! They say art is good therapy - healing and empowering in many ways.

Art brings people together in harmony - even for non-artistic souls like myself! It's heartening to see your passionate spirit here. Keep those creative juices flowing!

There are so many benefits to engaging in art, and I'm glad it has brought us together too. Do share your garden sculptures with us sometime; they sound adorable!

I've been meaning to take some pictures of them! It's encouraging receiving your request, thanks. I'll see if I can snap some photos this weekend - the neighbors might enjoy seeing their handiwork on display too.

I'm going to enjoy seeing the neighbors' reactions when I share the photos because some of them are very shy, especially the older folks. They'd appreciate the encouragement!

That's so lovely of you to consider them. The photos will brightened their day, especially the more reserved neighbors.

Aww, it's a small joy but an important one! In this case, the excitement might just be contagious!

I enjoy bringing joy to others; it's a good thing to see other people happy and appreciating art, especially when it's something that brings us together as a community. Small joys like these are what makes being a parent fulfilling. What do you think? (Feel free to agree or disagree, everyone has different views!)

I love how you bring everyone together as a community through your actions! It's heartwarming to see others appreciating the art and finding joy in the simple things - it's a wonderful feeling that makes all the effort worth it.
