Oh this Brough back such lovely memories... I remember my baby sister receiving a gift of Fimo for Christmas one year, it must have been in its infancy back then because when I suddenly remembered the joy she had in modelling tiny animals - mostly horses, she was horse mad - I bought some for my daughter and I couldn't believe the range of colours that were available. She loved to create with it and even now, at age 27 she will still sit and model something on occasion - she always has some in her art box! I still have the tiny creatures she made and maybe even a pair of earrings somewhere too!
Thank you so much Hannah and Emily, I wish I could say I enjoyed creating with Fimo too, sadly I have zero patience for anything fiddly - give me a huge patch of wild garden and ask me to transform it into something beautiful though and I am in heaven! 💛x
Such lovely memories of creativity Susie. Dad and Mum took us to a craft shop in Birmingham to buy some so very many years ago, after they got rid of the TV, to give us something to occupy us, and occupy us it certainly did! It was wonderful to share Hannah’s letter and to be reminded of these memories. Thank you for reading Susie, and thank you for sharing your memories too!
It's so interesting how we all have our creative passions and particular set of skills which are so personal to us. The sentiment is the same for everything creative, in my mind - just give it a go and see what happens. Thanks so much for reading Susie! x
How lovely that you have a pair of Hannah’s earrings! She really does have such a gift for creating beautiful things. I’m so glad you enjoyed the post, it’s such an interesting balance between creating for pure joy and making something with a purpose, isn’t it?
And yes! I’ve seen your message and I’ll send a reply shortly ✨💛
I’m so pleased you like them Janelle! Interestingly, I think I got more joy from gifting a few pairs to people over selling them. But of course it isn’t completely sustainable to do this 😂
That elephant 🥰.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful creative spirit Emily. Always inspiring.
So much creativity here Hannah - just oozing with fun and joy. I also had a dip into your Chez Hanny which I enjoyed. Thanks for what you do! xx
Thanks so much for reading and dipping into Chez Hanny, Jo! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it xx
Thanks Jo! I had forgotten about those little animals until Hannah’s earrings returned the memories to me 🤩

I am a very proud owner of a pair of Hannah's earrings. I still can't believe she sent me some as gift.
A great read and so interesting to note the difference between creating for joy and flow vs creating products.
P.S Going to message you now Emily about the deadline which has disappeared into the abyss! <3
