One Thing Today

Can I make a podcast about boiling an egg? It seems I can :-)

I think I’m getting glimpses of my energy picking up again, but for now I’m going to continue to “think tiny” and not make any plans.

With thanks to Louise for supplying the egg!.

Have a lovely day <3

In my first podcast for over a week, I’m making my morning pot of tea and talking about how I’m letting myself “think tiny” at the moment and the unexpected pleasures that can bring.

The Instagram tag that I was trying to remembering during the podcast is #sbsdrawingparty.

Lovely Louise is giving me a beady-eyed stare because she thinks I’ve appeared in the garden to give her and Gloria their sweetcorn treat.

But I haven’t. I’ve popped out to record a quick podcast updating you on my ongoing rest and to let you know about a couple of videos I’ve scheduled for you to watch whilst I take a little break.

Find the videos I mention in the podcast here today and tomorrow at 4.00 pm UK time.

I'm recording this episode at an unusual time because, instead of having my usual afternoon nap, I'm waiting for the delivery of something I'm quite excited about!

Whilst I'm waiting, would you like to join me for some pastry making and a peaceful evening walk?

I'm going to take a break for couple of days, so there won't be a new episode of One Thing Today on Friday. I’m still planning to be on Patreon for our Saturday Get-Together at 4.00 pm UK time and will be back with the next episode of the podcast on Monday <3

In this episode, I'm speaking to you from the middle of my new morning routine.

After pinning my latest ten-minute drawing to my studio wall, I decide to go for a walk and am delighted when Ounce decides to join me.

Would you like to come along with us both?

I'm wondering if Fridays could be turning into Treat Fridays... Time will tell!

Last week I made an apple pie and today I'm revisiting a recipe from my childhood and making some refrigerator biscuits. I plan to have a plate of them ready for tomorrow's patron’s Saturday Get-Together :)

If you would like to join me for tomorrow's live stream and aren’t already a podcast supporter on Patreon, then pop over to my Patreon page and sign up to any tier (your support would be VERY much appreciated).

We'll get going at 4.00 pm UK time tomorrow (Saturday). I think that's 11.00 am US east coat time and 8.00 am on the west coast. Best to double check. Bring a cuppa and maybe a biscuit of your own :)

Join me in my kitchen as I make an early morning cup of tea before heading out to see the chickens and then to my studio to set my timer for ten minutes of drawing.

Are you joining me in building a gentle creative habit?

Here's the episode of Miranda Morris' podcast that I mention listening to: http://murmursofmole.net/out-loud/mole-out-loud-1294/

This morning, I’m adjusting my new ten minute daily habit a little by sandwiching it between two other habits.

Last week, I began a gentle habit of going to my studio in the morning and setting a timer for ten minutes and just sitting with the space. I’m hoping this new habit will help me get back to a little regular creativity and give me a little extra structure during this topsy-turvy time.

This week, I’ve decided to adjust this new habit a little by inserting the ten minutes between my two well established habits of letting the chickens out and going to stand by my gate.

Maybe this habit sandwiching is something you’d like to try.

This morning, I’m awake early and in my kitchen making an apple pie (and explaining why little Ounce is being supervised as comes into the house at the moment!).

Would you like to join me?

Would you like to join me?

This morning, as I continue to emerge from my hibernation, I'm nudging myself towards reestablishing a very gentle creative routine.

Perhaps you like to join me...
