Summer is officially here and it’s giving big ✨Martha Girl Summer✨ energy at Evermore House, in my little corner of the extraordinary island I get to live on. ⁣ {Which REALLY means romanticizing being a workhorse that never stops no matter the season/project/business...but as always - I’m here for it.} ⁣ Anyone else ready for Martha Girl Summer?

Flowers from my gardens, thrifted vase, my little studio, and a brand I’m building from the inside - slowly, slowly.

4/6

I was supposed to be stripping the bed, but a sliver of soft light caught my eye—and all I could think about was photographing my coral sunset peonies.⁣ Most days I’d brush off the urge, telling myself later. Then the flowers would die, and I’d be mad that my ideas never get to breathe.⁣
⁣
That morning, over coffee, I was telling TJ I’ve been feeling like a chore machine more than a creative human living an actual life. ⁣
⁣
His response was simple as always - “You just need to do what you want.”⁣
⁣
So I paused. It only took 25 minutes 🫠. Luna joined me. She even edited her own version (see the last slide 😆💕).⁣
⁣
Creative impulses don’t knock—they land. Soft and ridiculous, like cartoon raindrops.⁣
⁣
I’ve promised myself to take a little break from the chaos of everyday to capture something beautiful, to practice a song, to craft or make what is not on the to do list - to dream a little baby dream into reality. ⁣
⁣
Because honestly - The alternative is becoming a bitter old martyr who let her creativity escape and blames the world for her misery. 🙃 (thank you no thank you!)⁣
