Shownotes

If you’ve ever said, “I’d love to be creative, but I just don’t have time,” this episode is for you. Kathleen shares how she carves out moments for stitching and creativity in the middle of motherhood, work, and everything else — no perfect schedule required.

This is a real talk guide to making time when it feels like you don’t have any.

You’ll hear about:

  • Letting go of the myth that creativity requires hours of free time
  • Simple ways to sneak creative time into your day
  • Kathleen’s personal routines and stitching habits
  • How to protect your creativity like it actually matters (because it does)
  • A reminder that 10 minutes of joy is more than enough

Takeaway: You don’t need a big window of time or a dedicated studio. Just a willingness to start — right where you are.
