An artist in a little corner of UA-cam! Here you will find art, journaling, sketchbooks, selfcare & fairies, a love for nature plus all the ongoing happenings from my art studio. I love drawing, watercolour, mixed media, acrylics & oils & I love to show how creativity is woven into well-being, growing older & life itself! Thank you so much for keeping me company! Xxx
The Power of Letting Go; stuff, weight, the past, people, comparisons...
✨It's Time to make a start, yes it is... The Power to Let it all Go ~ stuff, weight, the past, (even) people, let them go, comparisons, guilt, other people's opinions... I'm letting go on so many levels atm, an early autumn release of my leaves! My deep decluttering is in process, James has helped with some diy and also helps keep me motivated when I become overwhelmed. I have found some wonderful storage solutions to organize all my art supplies and cleaned up my studio as I have gone along. I have also been doing the same at home! As well as letting go of a lot of my stuff, I have also changed my diet, letting go of ultra processed foods, caffiene, alcohol and have been losing some weight on this journey too. With new eating habits, I feel energized, reset, restored and have a much lighter and positive outlook these days. Clearing my clutter from my spaces (and my body!) has been challenging, an emotional process and a lot of hard dusty work some days too. But, I am so happy I am doing it; mind, body, rooms and soul! I am not finished yet, just a work in progress like everyone else.
✨I really hope you enjoy the video! Feel free to tag me on social media with your creations, inspirations & creative spaces & let's chat in the comments too! Thank you so much for watching & keeping me company in this little corner of UA-cam. Biggest Loves, Wendy. Xxs

Finding a Fairy Tale Cottage in the Woods - The End of a Dream
I just realized that it's been 5 months since I last saw one of your videos. This is because my YT homepage stopped giving me prompts. I'm so busy in life that it's like "out of sight out of mind." I've missed watching them but I was given a prompt today. Ergo, that's why Ive tuned in. As someone who hasn't seen you for awhile, I would say that your new health diet must be working. I say this because you haven't aged and you actually look refreshed. I thought I'd mention this because when we see someone every week we don't notice subtle changes, but it's been 5 months, and I do see that you look refreshed. I thought you should know. I will try and catch up on the shows that I missed:-)
I really appreciate you sharing this! It is really helping me!!
Great photo of You and James ❤️ such a Lovely Couple
Loveeee the photo of you sitting on the Window Sill ❤
Gorgeous photo❤
Procrastination I totally understand that!!! I have a friend that comes and keeps me on task when I declutter; She is now terribly ill with cancer. Her illness has my mind worried about her. Thanks for posting this video. You always are a bright light in my life. This is a true inspiration. I am so cluttered I can't use my table for art/crafting. Thank You so much! Bright light of warm breezes to you.
The Lord is my 🙏
I love the Ikea build! You two are adorable!
Yes, paint the peg-board white! I was thinking that before you mentioned it. :)

Pink hair suits you. Great fun and looking so young :)
How fun!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Hi! I’m enjoying your Let it Go video! I spied a Jack Daniels sign for Tennessee Whiskey! I live just a few hours from Lynchburg where it is made! I’m a potter and I truly understand where you are coming from. I have a new studio and have too much stuff and it all won’t fit. I must let go of some things to make it work!😊❤️
I find that when it takes me longer to find the ingredients than it does to do the craft itself, it’s time for a big declutter session! Thank you for the inspiration❤
Definitely don’t paint it white! The wood colour looks lovely and cosy. x
You make drawing that face look so easy! It’s lovely!❤
I love your videos. I feel more comfortable with myself, when I see you being yourself. It gives me courage to be myself. Your art work is wonderful. I'm so glad I found you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Organisation envy 😂❤x
I left my heart and my son at University 3 weeks ago. I came home and was just down- not depressed, just in a very weird head space. I also turned 50, which is another huge moment and weird head space. The house was a disaster, from pulling stuff to send with him and just not having the time to take care of things. Add in normal life, and well, here I am. I pulled EVERYTHING out of every nook and cranny and have been putting like with like. If I know I do not need something, out it went to my vehicle immediately. I'm still working through and it may not be the fastest way but I'm getting it done. I like your idea of layers. I can breathe a little bit more now. It's been nice.
I have to do that too. Thank you for the inspiration.
I find that if I say it once and they don't understand... then saying it the same over and over doesn't get the idea across... instead... I find another way to express myself so that they can understand me. ;) *homeschooling mama for many years*
You must be magical my dear....no other explanation. You show up with the hand up that I desperately need during the hardest times of my life. My daughter 20 full of fairy dreams of babies and her prince babies laughter ....had her first psychosis episode a month ago today actually. I had to see her get taken by ambulance to er where I met her and we waited for a bed at a mental hospital. She was diagnosed bipolar 1 at age 12 which is very very rare at so young so we have been through a lot already my poor baby girl how much can she suffer? My oldest has every ed in the manual including anorexia the most deadly mental health type disorder and my 20 now has schizophrenia and bipolar 1 schizoaffective disorder. She's 10 min away thank the stars or I wouldn't be able to visit every other day. My daughter as I knew her is gone she's on heavy meds it's like she's dulled flattened but better than what me n my youngest witnessed before she had to go to hospital. I don't know how I'll be able to do this I have partner who's just not able to be decent my 9 yo said tonight how terrible of her dad to use my weakness, us the children, to hurt you not caring as he hurts them. Yelling at me for asking him for 30 bucks for a used sofa as our cats peed on ours n keep doing it I've tried it all and I am not letting my daughter come home to sleep in cat pee. He told me the classic get a job sell a doll knowing I have a bro k en car our 9 yo has health issues homeschooling her now I'm defending being stuck in abuse.
I guess I start with what I cam change. You can see I'm in a mess. Oh I need a corneal transplant in the next month bahahaha. I can make my space feel under control. I'm very unorganized I paint reborn dolls they're weird idk I was thinking fairy babies but they wouldn't sell but regular ones either right now. It's my happy place painting these dolls. It took ages to get good enough at it to sell. Idk what to do but I feel better I'm gonna get rid of loads of clutter cause I got a lot I have every card I've ever gotten and my kids have since I was a child. Hahaha I keep those but I don't need every school paper my 4 kids have done maybe I'll give it to them haha idk I get a touch of inspiration and I get up and it's gone. I'll just start I know controlling something however small might save my life right now. Thankyou sweet love I wonder what book I wrote u last visit! I'm rooting white silver alpaca hair on a 12 inch fairy baby btw you'd just die! I'll post pics once he's done. Of course my daughter says he/she is hers.

This is my first video! Ty! I was feeling a bit lonely and sometimes i have a bit of trouble shaking it off. I turned on your video and started working on a craft and im feeling much better!! That carnavel was amazing 💛💛💛 ive never seen anything like that ( except Disney) and i love it so much.

You have given me courage to say, I am okay. I have always been my worst critic! Difficult! ..we all need to see we are not alone, others have their difficulties too!. It is hard
it's not easy.... but well done! xxxx

Just found your channel and watched a couple videos. I am so glad I stumbled upon you and you inspiring and interesting videos. I am in my fifties, a new (ish) artist and I also have fibromyalgia (which you mentioned in one of your videos), and I am very much an introvert. I am looking forward to joining along in your UA-cam journey.
Awesome! Thank you for coming aboard! Sounds like we have a few things in common! xx Happy arting too!
This brought morning joy to my heart watching your togetherness. It made me smile. Thank you for the inspiration and much thought you bring to my day. 🌱🎨
I'm so glad! Thanks so much xx

It was fun to watch you and James building your Ikea plan chest! My hubby & I put one together and made the same "schoolboy error!" Always uplifting to watch your videos, Wendy. I'm inspired to declutter my art studio now.
I loved Jill Bolte Taylor's book. I read it several years ago. I stumbled on her on you tube or ted tv and wanted to read her book. Been thinking it's time to read it again. :)
What city is that beautiful church located?
plants are great for air quality
