This time last year… February 2025

We launched our exhibition in partnership with Arc Centre, showcasing The Vision of Stockport artwork series — a project funded by UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

There were four community-created artworks, each one shaped by local voices, stories and experiences. Seeing them come together in one space felt really special — but it didn’t stop there.

The artworks also became part of an art trail through central Stockport, taking the work out into the town itself, and we created our first ever audio tour alongside it. That felt like a big step — making the work more accessible, more layered, and allowing people to engage with it in their own time.

One of those moments where you pause and think: oh… we’ve never done this before. And then you do it anyway.

Ever picked something up, looked at the text… and felt your brain instantly switch off?

We get it.

That’s why our workshop instructions and journals are designed with dyslexia-friendly fonts — clearer spacing, easier letter shapes, less visual noise.

So you can focus on:

✍️ journaling

Not battling the page.

Loose ends. Final stitches. Shared moments. 💛

On Tuesday, we’re coming together for Loose Ends & Finishing Touches — a calm, care-led drop-in session to gently bring the Self Care Squares project to a close.

We’ll be hand sewing patchwork sections, finishing macramé details, tidying loose ends, and spending time together reflecting on the journey we’ve shared as a community.

There’s no pressure to finish anything.
No expectation to stay for the full time.
You’re welcome to dip in, take breaks, chat, or work quietly — whatever feels right for you.

Not everything needs to be rushed or perfected 💛

On Tuesday, Loose Ends & Finishing Touches takes place — a gentle, flexible drop-in workshop designed to support the final stages of the Self Care Squares project and give us time to simply be together.

You might:
🧵 Help hand sew patchwork sections
✨ Finish macramé elements
🪡 Tidy and secure final details
💬 Share stories, reflections, or quiet moments

Tasks can be adapted to suit different skill levels, energy levels, and comfort. You don’t need to bring anything — just yourself, for as little or as long as feels manageable.

What you see vs what I see 🦞

You see a stitched lobster.
I see Christmas dinner.

I’m so chuffed with how this little fella turned out. It was one of those stitches where I thought, yep, this is exactly what a bullion stitch is for — all twisty and textured and a bit extra, in the best way.

The funny thing is, it didn’t come from some big meaningful idea. We’d bought some really cute lobster napkins to go with our lobster Christmas dinner, and that tiny detail just stuck in my head. You know when something makes you smile and you don’t quite know why? That. So obviously… I stitched it.

That’s one of my favourite things about thread journaling.
Everyday moments turn into stitched memories. Not everything has to be deep or symbolic. Sometimes it’s just that was a really nice Christmas dinner and I want to remember it.

Does anyone else do this? Spot something small, love it, and think… yep, that’s going in the journal 🦞

People are often surprised when they realise Self Care Creatives isn’t a big organisation — it’s a tiny but mighty team of three!

It’s me (Steph), along with Kimmy and Tracie — between us we plan, prep, pack, design, teach and drink a lot of tea.

Every message, workshop and journal page is created with care, heart and a fair bit of laughter along the way.

So when you book a class, share a post or tell a friend about us, it really does mean the world — you’re helping our little team keep creativity and community alive. 💚

Why do we love Vision Boards?

🌿 Vision Boards Set Goals the Kind Way

Vision boards offer a softer approach to goal setting.

Instead of pressure, they invite curiosity: What would support me? What feels nourishing?

Join us on 30th January at 10.30am at Berretto Lounge, Stockport for our New Year Vision Board Workshop — beginner‑friendly, relaxing, kit included and designed to help you set intentions that feel good.

We’re also taking group bookings for 2026 for workplaces, community groups, works places, and your favourite circle of people.

Get in touch to book your own group workshop or book your place on our website.

You’re welcome to bring your own photos if you’d like to personalise your board further, but everything you need will be provided.

Our latest Self Care Squares session was all about sharing skills, stitching side-by-side, and soaking up that lovely community energy 💛

This time it was a skill-share sewing machine session — fuelled by sweet treats, endless cups of tea, and a lot of laughter. There’s something really special about watching confidence grow as people support one another, pass on tips, and gently cheer each other on.

A huge thank you to Jen at Make Good for being such a wonderful help on the day — and to every single person who showed up with care, curiosity, and kindness.

We are so proud of this community and the way this project continues to be shaped by the people taking part. Every stitch tells a story — and we’re loving watching them all come together 🧵💫

Self-care doesn’t have to be big or perfect to matter.
Sometimes it’s just about noticing 💚

Tracking self-care isn’t about ticking boxes or building streaks — it’s about becoming more aware of the small things that help you feel a little better. The cup of water. The walk. The rest. The moment you chose yourself.

That’s why I love gentle, visual ways of tracking — they invite curiosity instead of guilt.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’m running a Punch Card Habit Tracker Workshop where we’ll create a simple, flexible way to track habits that support your wellbeing.
