Good morning ๐Ÿ˜˜

Over the last ten years or so, through Grace & Favour and now through Calme I have become much more aware of how good being a little bit creative can be for us.

Not because we're trying to make perfect things. Not because we're trying to be artists.

Just because it gives us a little bit of time away from everything else.

I've watched people come into workshops convinced they can't make a thing. They've apologised before they've even started. Then two hours later they're laughing, chatting and leaving with something they're really proud of.

That's one of the reasons Calme exists.

Yes, we do workshops. Yes, we drink a lot of tea. โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

But really, our creativity is more about creating a space where people feel comfortable. Somewhere to come if you've had a rubbish week. Somewhere to meet people. Somewhere to learn something new. Somewhere to remember that life isn't all rushing about and looking after everybody else.

And if you're thinking, "That's not for me, I'm not creative"...

Start with a cup of tea. Honestly. You don't have to make anything.

Come for a brew. Have a chat. Meet some lovely people.
The rest has a funny way of taking care of itself. ๐Ÿ’•

I'd love to know...

What do you do to switch off?
What helps you relax when life gets busy?

Good morning ๐Ÿ’›

Who needs mummy for fashion advice when you have a Gaga? ๐Ÿ˜˜

I had our beautiful granddaughters for a sleepover last night and suddenly the house has a different heartbeat. ๐Ÿ’“

Soft, I know, but I absolutely treasure our time together from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.

There are cuddles and giggles, endless snack requests, outfit discussions, stories, films and the occasional disagreement over who gets to sit next to me. Apparently the middle doesnโ€™t work lol ๐Ÿ˜

Bedtime is always youngest first.

"Rub my back, Gaga."

Then oldest.

"Can I read to you, Gaga... and can you rub my back too?"

By the time I finally get into bed myself, my arm is usually aching, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Last night they climbed into my bed with their matching towel turbans, snuggled under the covers and settled down for a film. ๐Ÿ’•

It was one of those lovely moments that probably won't seem important to anyone else, but they're the moments I love the most.

There is something so special about the whispering, the cuddles and the comforting feeling of helping them drift off to sleep knowing they feel safe, loved and content.

I love my work and I love what we're building at Calme, but when these two arrive, I really do switch off for a while and just enjoy being Gaga.

These little girls have a way of filling every corner of our home with chatter, imagination and a kind of magic that only children seem to possess. ๐Ÿฉท

And they say a Sunday well spent brings a week of content, so let's see what today bringsโ€ฆ I think we may just stay in our PJs lol

Have a lovely Sunday xx
