Self-Care Sketchbook January 2026

January Concept: Threads of intention


Time goes fast and we start 2026!

Let's being the year with creativity by putting our intentions on the paper with color and thread.
We will  abstract watercolor backgrounds with acrylic inks, then use embroidery to “anchor” your intentions into the page — each stitch representing focus and care.

Paint and embroidery is super fun! If you haven't tried embroidery don't worry, it will an easy and gentle exercise.


Reflection idea: What intention do you want to bring into this new beginning?

If you’d like, bring along a short text, poem, or song that feels meaningful to you, please do! We’ll use it as inspiration for the journaling.

✨ No experience needed — just curiosity, patience, and a willingness to slow down.
