🎨 Make time for creativity. Make time for YOU.

Life gets busy, and sometimes the things that bring us joy are the first things we set aside. But creativity doesn’t need a perfect plan, hours of free time, or a finished masterpiece. Sometimes, all it takes is a little space to explore, experiment, and enjoy the moment. 💗

Give yourself permission to slow down, try something new, and create simply because it makes you happy.

✨ Read our latest blog for a little inspiration to make more room for creativity in your everyday life!

🌿 The Things You Don’t See in the Retreat Photos

The photos capture the beautiful gardens, creative projects, and peaceful moments at Big Raven Farm. 💚 But there’s so much more happening behind the scenes!

From preparing meals and gathering art supplies to making beds, organizing workspaces, and taking care of all the little details, a lot of love goes into creating a retreat experience where you can simply arrive, settle in, and enjoy yourself.

Because a retreat isn’t just about where you go. It’s about having time to create, connect, rest, and let someone else take care of the details for a change. ✨

Want to know what really goes into a Big Raven Farm retreat? We’re sharing a little behind-the-scenes look on the blog!

Hi Craftonians! ✨

What happens when you mix a love of storytelling with paint, nature, and a little bit of nostalgia?

In Episode 106 of Joleen’s Happy Time Craftcast, I’m chatting with Minnesota illustrator and designer Emma Adams, the artist behind Fox & Fables, about whimsical illustration, gouache painting, creative inspiration, and turning a childhood love of making into a creative career.

We’re talking about:
🎨 Falling in love with gouache
🦊 Creating whimsical art inspired by nature and animals
🌿 Finding inspiration in gardens, antique shops, and everyday adventures
📖 Using illustration to tell stories
✏️ Adding texture and linework with colored pencils
✨ Finding your own creative path instead of always following the rules
💭 Getting unstuck when you’re in a creative rut
❤️ How making art can create comfort, happiness, and connection

Emma also shares a fun technique for getting your creativity moving again: putting inspiring words into a jar and pulling out three to create a brand-new illustrated story!

If you love cozy, nostalgic art—or you’re looking for a little creative spark—this episode is for you. 💛
