    “I Am Creative“ | Affirmation Cards

    $40.00

    Almost daily, I hear people say, “Oh, I’m not creative,” “I am not an artist”, or “I couldn’t draw a straight line if my life depended on it.”

    As adults, many of us shy away from our natural creative tendencies for countless reasons—maybe our creative energy was shunned in childhood, or not supported. We were told to grow up, take life seriously, get a real job, don’t be silly… Maybe we put aside our creative hobbies for more serious matters like family and career.

    “I Am Creative” is a set of 31 unique affirmations, bundled in a keepsake tin so you can draw your cards anytime, anywhere, as needed. You may also choose to pass cards out to family, friends, or use them for random acts of kindness out in the world—spreading mindfulness wherever you go.

    Cards are 2 x 3.5"—perfect for pockets, wallets, and bathroom mirrors.

    Cheerful Chimes

    $40.00
    The delicate jingle of a shell chime can be a relaxing and soothing experience. The soft tinkling of shells create a charming lullaby on a breezy day. Multi-colour capiz shells are suspended downward in a chandelier shape from a circle of albizia wood. A unique touch to the entryway or strung outside in a nearby tree. I have these hanging in my art studio—yes, indoors!—and love the sweet tinkling of the chimes when I pass by them. 65cm in heigh | Made in Indonesia The supplier of these chimes believes in and follows the Fair Trade Tenets which include creating economic opportunities for disadvantaged producers, transparency and accountability, capacity building for producers, promoting fair trade, paying fair price, gender equality, safe and healthy working conditions, no child labour, protecting the environment and trade relations which protect the well-being of others.

    “Today I Am” | Intention Cards

    $40.00

    We are hearing more and more about the positive effects of affirmations and intentions—thoughts we carry with us throughout the day to keep us in a mindful state. Mindfulness has been proven time and time again to reduce stress, increase self-awareness, intensify our connection to higher power, heighten creativity, and provide clarity of thought.

    To inspire mindfulness, many enjoy the practice of drawing a random intention card from a deck (it’s uncanny how the chosen intention is usually spot-on for your needs each day), and spending a few moments in meditation to instil that intention in your mind for the day.

    “Today I Am” is a set of 31 unique intentions, bundled in a keepsake tin so you can draw your cards anytime, anywhere, as needed. You may also choose to pass cards out to family, friends, or use them for random acts of kindness out in the world—spreading mindfulness wherever you go.

    Cards are 2 x 3.5"—perfect for pockets, wallets, and bathroom mirrors.

: Last Friday was my gal pal Christine’s birthday, so before she and some others showed up for Studio Tuesday last week, I made her this card. Christine looooves cherries, so the theme was simple—cherries! Watercolour in a variety of reds and greens, with fine lines added in using my favourite pen (I’ll tell you about it on Friday!), and red XOXs to bring the love 🍒 Heather brought Black Forest cake—more cherries!—and wine, and the five of us delighted in creativity all evening. Worth noting, I had a hard time falling asleep after that cake! 🎂Or maybe it was the wine? 🍷
: A walk along the Rideau Canal in Ottawa last weekend had me seeking signs of Spring. It was a warmish day, but nothing had quite yet popped. Tree buds were still tightly bundled, gardens still covered in leaves and fall debris with few to no signs of bulbs sprouting and peeking through… Everything looked dull, grey, or brown, with the exception of the clear blue sky.Then I saw this shock of green moss growing in a most unexpected place—the concrete footing of the guardrail along the canal’s edge. We’ve seen this before… plants seemingly growing out of concrete, rocks, and pavement. Moss, like this, weeds, flowers, and even some trees. The spores and seeds which happen to land on what appears to be inhospitable property—in just the right crevice, with just enough moisture and light—take hold, establish roots, and thrive. I feel like there is a life lesson here… Message received, Mother Nature!

: I did NOT want to get on this swing.I wasn’t afraid, I just wasn’t feeling it. It had been a long, hot day adventuring around Bali in October 2023, and I was tired and grumpy.[ Imagine being grumpy in Bali!? What the heck was my problem!? ]I said no at least 537 times. And then, with some cheering on by my friends and a healthy dose of self talk, I said yes.Arms out, face to the sky, high above the rice terraces. Pretty sure I giggled the entire time, and even sassed it up a bit for the photographers. Fast forward to April 2026…Try Everything by Shakira has been on repeat in my studio lately, because some weeks I need a reminder that showing up even when I’m not feeling it is still showing up, and that trying is the whole point. The swing is always worth it.This song is the “Something I’m Loving” from issue No. 2 of Sunday Sparks ✨—my weekly love note about creativity, noticing + play.

Last Wednesday was the first of my five-week Sketching Around Town classes. Three lovely ladies are joining me at various locations throughout Ottawa to learn the foundations of urban sketching—line confidence, drawing what you see, perspective, and watercolour. We started in IKEA’s cafeteria for an intro lesson, then I sent them off to find vignettes to sketch in situ. While they sketched that, I sketched this: hanging paper lanterns offering a warm glow on a rainy day, and on page one of my new, little sketchbook.[ If you’d like to receive a collection of Sparks like this one ✨ in your inbox every Sunday, the link to subscribe is in my bio ]
: Why am I so hooked on painting market bags!? 🎨🌸🩷Painted this one last night during Studio Tuesday—my weekly creative social hangs at my place. Added the fluorescent pink bits + other details this morning, and I am in looove 💕
: Storytime 📖 Last week while visiting an Indigo store, I found myself standing in front of the home décor and design section and I was overcome by an odd realization… I was once obsessed with home décor. As a kid I spent hours arranging my knick knacks, and rearranging my bedroom furniture. As an adult, décor magazines were stacked on every living room table and bookshelf. Home décor + colour consultations were a teeny part of my branding + design business, and I worked part-time at an interior design studio and Farrow & Ball store when my boys were small. Standing there in front of the shelves and shelves of books, I felt like I was holding space for a version of myself I’d lost sight of. It was a feeling somewhere between nostalgia and grief. I’m not sure what, if anything, to do with this realization, but I noticed it, and honoured it… and sometimes that is enough. Have you ever rediscovered a passion you’d almost forgotten? I'd love to hear about it.
