A Time to Create

Tuesday, May 31

My big girl came home last week and asked if I could buy a gift for her friend's birthday. After she did some research for me, I found out she likes the colour blue and owls. I didn't really want to spend a lot of money so I went looking for something simple to make her.

I found this simple coin purse tutorial I thought would suit a young girl and made it out of some scrap fabric I had at home.

A quick set of hair ties are always a good gift for a girl and

this little owl softie. I've been wanting to make one for ages. I think I'll make one for myself too:)
Thanks for stopping by ♥

Abundance

HEALTH

* Establish a morning and evening routine. Getting back into the habit of meditation outside of my room in a created space just for meditating. Setting a specific time for bed in the evening allowing for one hour screen free before bed and reading time.

* Eat more greens. Make smoothies and continue to eat nutritious foods that make me feel full of abundance.

* Exercise three times every week including yoga. Go to a new yoga class and interact with new like minded people.

PERSONAL

* Do something creative every day, crochet, cook, garden or photography.

* Set time aside weekly to pamper myself like a face mask etc. Also this can include going to get a massage.

* To just do more and do less procrastinating. Be organised and not worry about the time and effort required to get the job done.

EDUCATION

* Read books on health, happiness and personal development.

* Do one course on photography and one course on sustainability.

* Enrol in a first aid and CPR course.

HOME

* Develop a routine for keeping my garden neat and tidy. Allocate 30 minutes each day to water, weed or trim.

* Declutter each area of our home.

* Organise the pantry, removing the plastic and replacing it with glass.
