Back in 2015, I decided I wanted to create my very own set of Colouring Pages! They were becoming ALL.THE.RAGE & I wanted to find a way to get people using the joy of colouring & art to calm the crazy talk of Anxiety and Mental Health Challenges. I knew that for me, being creative is the best way to relax, quiet my mind and feel like I’ve achieved something even if that was all I’d managed that day. So, I selflessly (oh it was such a chore !)  threw myself into designing these pages! They took me about one month if that, to complete. I adored the process of thinking up ideas, sketching them out. Rubbing them out and starting again. Then inking them in with an ultra fine Sharpie (my fav pen of choice, I think I should get shares in Sharpie!!). Back then I operated under the name of MidSummerLily and solely shared my creative work. Selling my Art through Etsy and my Facebook page. I set out to create an actual real life book but found it ...

Today I'm feeling 'Uh' I don't totally know why either. Well maybe I do... I think its probably a mixture of things, like  its that time of the Moon phase for me, so my stomach feels pregnant with 10 kids, my back is breaking, my hips have gone Kapput and I think I'm just going through some shifts after my psychology appointment last week. I don't like feeling this way, I really quite fancy hiding in a hole, or just under my duvet, reading books and hiding out, I'll build a fort and do some colouring.  I'll make a mess that I don't have to clean up...ah that's bliss I reckon, right there...not having to clean up all the mess in the house!  I'm a bit bored of being an adult at the moment, my soul wants to shine the way a child's does.   I watch my beautiful kids and see the joy they see in the world, I need more of that in my life.  www.lizzmears.com What am I on about?... I have that in my life...
