I created this because I needed it too

I want to share something that’s been on my heart — and I’d love your honest thoughts.

Lately, I’ve been moving a little slower.
Between managing my energy, caring for my son who was home most of last week with a nasty seasonal cold, and navigating my health, I’ve been feeling the need to pause. Not stop everything — just pause, breathe, and reconnect with myself in a softer way.

So I reached for something that always brought me calm: my diamond painting.

But sitting down to do it alone didn’t feel quite right either (I got into the habit of doing it when hubby+son plays video games).

What I really wanted was quiet companionship — a cozy, no-pressure space to do a creative activity without being “on.”

And then I realized something…

As creators, we often forget how to create just for ourselves.
We start out making things we love — then over time, it becomes content, products, deadlines… and the joy slowly gets buried under the pressure to produce.

That’s how I came up with Creative Me-Time — a relaxed virtual space to be creative in a way that feels like self-care, not work.

You can show up with your journal, planner, knitting, sketchbook, or nothing at all.

You don’t have to be “on.” You don’t even have to talk or show your face.
You just get to show up as you are — and know you’re not alone in your need for a slower rhythm.

I hosted the first session yesterday… and no one showed up. 🫣

But honestly? I still loved it. I still needed it.
And I still believe in it — maybe even more now.

So I’d love to ask you:

Is this kind of space something you’ve been quietly craving too?
Would you ever want to join — even if just for 15 minutes of guilt-free (mom) time?
🕯️ What would make this feel more like a gift than another “should”?

​

Just hit reply if anything comes to mind. You don’t have to say much.

Or simply click the option that fits best for you:

If you’ve forgotten what it feels like to create for yourself, I’d like for this space to help you rediscover that joy!

Wishing you & your loved ones health, wealth & loads of fun! Stephie & Her Happy Family

P.S. You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to “deserve” joy.
You’re allowed to create without turning it into a product.
That’s the kind of space I want to build — together.

NOTE: I’m moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot “bad experiences” regarding my site, your members’ area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!
