Di Cuming Creates

Di Cuming Creates I help women reconnect with their creativity, move past perfectionism and self-doubt, and turn their ideas into finished work.

After Covid ended my last one, I sat in Spain for a whole winter not knowing what came next.
Stuck. Purposeless. Making excuses about why it wasn't the right time.
Sound familiar?

It's the question that keeps the notebook closed and the paint dry.
I've spent 40 years watching capable women ask themselves that question - and stay stuck because of it.
The question doesn't go away by waiting. It goes away by starting.
That's exactly what we're doing at Stop Waiting. Start Creating.

My free live workshop, Stop Waiting, Start Creating, takes place on Monday 20 July.
It is designed for women who know they want more creativity in their lives, but keep postponing the moment when they will finally begin.
You do not need to know exactly what you are doing.
You do not need to produce anything impressive.
You simply need to bring:
โ€ข One idea
โ€ข One unfinished project
โ€ข One thing you have been meaning to try
I will help you reduce it to a manageable first step, and you will take that step during the workshop.
Do not scroll past and tell yourself you will book later.
Monday 20 July
7.30pm UK time
8.30pm Spain and Central Europe

Not because you have no ideas.
But because it has been so long since you did anything with them.
You may have spent years putting work, family and other people first. Now you finally have a little more space, but getting back to your creativity feels strangely difficult.
You may:
โ€ข Feel rusty
โ€ข Overthink what to make
โ€ข Struggle to choose where to begin
โ€ข Wonder whether you have left it too late
You havenโ€™t.
On Monday 20 July, Iโ€™m running a free live workshop for women who want to reconnect with their creativity and begin in a realistic, manageable way.
Stop Waiting, Start Creating will help you move from thinking about creating to actually doing something.
You will make a start during the workshop. Not next week. Not when life settles down. During the session itself.
Places are free, but booking is essential.

You do not need another six months of thinking about it.
You may not need more time, a better idea or a sudden burst of inspiration.
You may simply need a smaller place to begin.
That is exactly what we will do in my free workshop, Stop Waiting, Start Creating, on Monday 20 July.
You will not spend an hour merely talking about creativity.
You will choose something you want to return to, make a start during the workshop, and leave knowing what to do next.
This is for you if:
โ€ข You used to be creative, but life got in the way
โ€ข You have an unfinished project you cannot seem to return to
โ€ข You keep collecting ideas but rarely act on them
โ€ข You are tired of promising yourself you will start soon
There are only a few days left to book.

How long have you been saying, โ€œI really must get back to thatโ€?
The writing.
The painting.
The sewing.
The idea you were once excited about.
You still want to do it. But the longer you leave it, the harder it seems to make a start.
On Monday 20 July, Iโ€™m running my free live workshop:
Stop Waiting, Start Creating
This is for women who want to create, but have lost momentum, become stuck in overthinking, or made the first step feel much bigger than it needs to be.
During the workshop, you will:
โ€ข Understand what has been stopping you
โ€ข Choose one manageable next step
โ€ข Make a real start during the session
โ€ข Leave with a plan to keep going
It is free, but places are limited, and 20 July is getting closer.

We were sitting outside with friends, playing Jenga, when it wandered out of the dark and into the light of the table.
As if it fancied a turn too.
And now I keep thinking about Jenga.
You donโ€™t rebuild the whole tower.
You choose one piece.
You test it gently.
You move that.
Thatโ€™s often all a creative start needs to be.
Not the whole plan.
Not the perfect afternoon.
Not a sudden rush of confidence.
Just one small move.
In my workshop this week, one woman was given ten minutes to start something sheโ€™d been putting off.
She only needed three.
Iโ€™m going to run Stop Waiting, Start Creating again soon, free one more time.
