Simple Swaps September: Creative Oasis

Hyacynth at Undercover Mother has a new monthly link-up called Simple Swaps, simple things to make your life more creative, green, or intentional. This month we were to make a creative space.

I took a some liberties with my “creative space” as my spaces need to be mobile. Whether it’s the bed, chair in the family room or kitchen table. My creative space moves daily. However, on Saturdays in the fall I can pretty much guarantee that I will be in one place consistently and that’s here.

Right now you are probably thinking I’m crazy for picking our tailgate as the perfect creative oasis, but let me clue you in on something…it’s a secret…we aren’t CRAZY tailgaters. We sit and visit enjoy some breakfast and the boys toss a football around. So…while they toss the football I get some much needed “me” time sans kids and other distractions {like a dirty kitchen}.
So this Saturday I grabbed my coffee.

Tucked it snuggly in the cup holder.

Grabbed a cozy blanket.

My smart phone and blog journal {never leave home without it}.

And began writing. And writing. And writing.

I was so productive that I can’t wait till next Saturday!

With these three elements:
1. Comfy space
2. Nice beverage or snack
3. Tools for the job {ie: notebook, laptop, knitting needles…etc.}

You can take your creativity on the road.

  1. >YES! YES! and YES! You rocked this challenge. Because this challenge was about finding time and space to nourish our creative souls with spaces we already have; and you did that SO fabulously! Also, what better sights and sounds than nature? And what better smell than coffee?
    Awesome, Brook! So glad you joined in. So what gems did came from your time spent in your oasis?

  2. >Ha, awesome! And I love that your blog journal is written by hand. Because writing is a physical act. It *should* be done with physicality! Thanks for sharing your space with us!

  3. >that space looks awesome and cozy…well done! I want to crawl under that fleecy blanket and write, write write!
