Art and Pods

10/12/2025

Craftfulness is a modern concept, meaning the mindful practice of making things by hand to achieve mental well-being, mindfulness, stress relief, and a sense of flow, much like meditation or yoga, focusing on the process rather than just the final product. So I gave myself permission to play and create without knowing what will come out. It's been a break from the busyness of this time of the year, where there's sharing, there's fun, there's catch ups, there's love and there's also racing, buying and stress. I finished them with a sense of calm and feeling happy as the little wreaths turned out so cute! At least I think so 😉. They'll be going to in York unless they are claimed before Saturday.
What's your favourite mindful practise?

Meet Tia Semi from a Perth-based model and designer with special abilities (some people say disabilities). She’s a model of creativity, resilience and talent. Her designs are inspired by the vibrant colours and patterns from a Polynesian cultural heritage, with a modern twist.
Tia was in Sydney a couple of weekends ago showcasing her new collection at . Tia invited to collaborate accessorising some looks, which was an honour and a pleasure to do. Thank you for the privilege🙏🏻, some pics in this post 😉.
Today 3rd December is International Day of People with Disabilities and as quotes “Disability doesn’t close doors; it reveals strengths you never knew you carried”. Lets foster a special abilities inclusive society where the unique talents are celebrated and strength and resilience highly valued and appreciated.

Hi there I'm Natalia, Naty for some and Nat the coffee pod lady for others, still the same me ☺️... Ten years ago I started playing and upcycling coffee capsules... What I thought was a past time after working corporate for many years turned into a journey of self discovery. A daring call to be myself, to be playful, to be kind to the environment and to choose to wear my values. It's been a doorway to personal growth, discovering the passion needed to embark on a mission to keep those capsules away from landfill and a point of contact to meet amazing people on the way.
What is that thing you like doing most that gives you a chance to be your beaYOUtiful self?
You can share it or just take the time to think about it... 😉 It may surprise you ✨
Happy hump day 🌤️ ✨
