Our recent Botanical Embroidery Workshop was a beautiful example of what happens when creativity grows from the community. The embroidery designs participants stitched were inspired by botanical doodles created by the community themselves during our September workshops.

Each workshop in the Self Care Squares project builds on the last — designs, techniques, and ideas evolve from what you create and share. It’s a true collaboration, and every stitch tells part of our shared story.

We love this so much 💚

Creativity isn’t just about what we make in the moment — it’s about what we carry with us afterwards.

Our embroidery hoops become little reminders of calm, confidence and connection that we can return to on the tougher days. 🌿

We love seeing how ideas evolve from one workshop to the next. Our September Botanical Doodle sessions gave us a library of shapes and patterns drawn by the community — and in our Botanical Embroidery class, those designs were transformed into textured, tactile pieces through hand stitching.

This is what makes the Self Care Squares project so unique: your creativity doesn’t end with one session — it plants seeds for the next.

Sometimes the biggest lift comes from life’s tiniest joys—like a warm cup of tea, a child’s laughter, or the glow of a sunset. Take a moment now to pause, reflect, and list three things during your day that brought a smile to your face. 🥰

Why this matters: Research shows that intentionally recalling positive experiences—especially multiple lighthearted moments—can disrupt negative thoughts, boost your mood, and even lower stress hormone levels. Plus, gratitude practices like this are linked to greater optimism, improved sleep, and better emotional resilience.

🧠 Try it now:
1. Pause.
2. Write down three moments that made you smile today.
3. Let yourself savor them—feel your shoulders relax, your heart lighten.

What were your moments today? Share one in the comments and let’s spread the feel‑good vibes!

At our Botanical Embroidery workshop, participants brought nature to life with needle and thread, embellishing beautiful community-designed motifs.

What makes this project so special is that it’s entirely led by the people who take part — the ideas you shared in September have now become stitched artworks, and those pieces will inspire future sessions too. It’s creativity that grows organically from the community, for the community.

It’s not just about embroidery. It’s about community, confidence, and care. This little note says it better than we ever could.

Our latest Self Care Squares workshop was a beauty ✨

We gathered for a lovely calligraphy embroidery session, bringing our super-easy calligraphy designs (created by our amazing community!) to life stitch by stitch.

The designs were printed locally by the fabulous and we were welcomed into the warm, friendly space at — thank you for having us again!

There’s something so soothing about tracing each curve of the lettering with thread, slowing right down, and watching a simple line turn into something heartfelt and handmade. Everyone’s squares looked beautiful, and it’s going to make such a meaningful addition to our community quilt.

If you’d like to join us for one of our December workshops, we’ve got some lovely sessions coming up — all beginner-friendly, lots funded.

The designs embroidered in our latest workshop weren’t created by us — they were created by you. They began as playful sketches and nature-inspired doodles in September, and have now been brought to life through embroidery.

Every workshop in this project is connected. Each one grows from the ideas, stories, and creativity of the last, creating a living, evolving patchwork of community-made art.

We can’t tell you how much this made us smile 💚

Hearing that our sessions bring a bit of sunshine into your week means everything.

Every workshop is a shared space of inspiration — we leave feeling just as lifted by you! 🌿

One of our lovely participants brought along their thread journal from last October and added this year’s pumpkin right beside the one they stitched last year 🍂🎃

One of the lovely things about keeping a thread journal — and running this project over a few years at your own pace — is being able to see your progress unfold right there in the stitches.

It’s never just about getting “better”; it’s about the joy of creating, slowing down, and seeing how your story grows with every stitch… but still, just look at that difference! 🧵✨
