One of the coolest things you can do with a pointe One of the coolest things you can do with a pointed pen isn’t write a word — it’s build a picture with nothing but flourishes. 🪶✨

This tropical parrot was such a joy to create, and TPK’s newest worksheet walks you through how to make your own version step by step. Whether you’re tracing to get a feel for the movement or freehand flourishing the final piece, it’s both relaxing and skill-building — a nice balance of creative play and pointed pen precision.

You don’t need to be a pointed pen expert to try it. Just take it stroke by stroke, give yourself permission to go slow, and enjoy the process. 🖋️

📩 DM me if you’d like the link to the worksheet! It’s free for TPK Premium members, $6 for non-members.

If you’d enjoy using a sneaker as a calligraphy practice drill, let me know in the comments! I’m happy to make it happen. 👟✨ Suggestions for other motifs are also welcome and appreciated!

Your first thought watching this might be: “Why Your first thought watching this might be: “Why all the fuss for an envelope?” ✉️✨

Try it yourself and you’ll see why. 😉 This kind of envelope is something I create for my own relaxation—it’s just a bonus that the recipient gets to enjoy it, too! There’s nothing better than settling in with a great podcast 🎧 or show 📺, prepping your ink 🖋️, and slowly building up a design like this one.

If your next thought is, “How would I even begin to make something like this?”—well, I’ve got you. 💛 This timelapse is pulled from a full 30-minute video lesson that walks you through the whole process, from layout to flourishes to gold details. You can find it on the TPK Blog (link in bio → “How to Make a Fabulously Flourished Calligraphy Envelope”). Have fun with it! 💌

In the latest TPK article, I’m exploring 8 common myths about calligraphy—the kinds of quiet beliefs that convince us we’re not “artsy” enough, don’t have the time, or that messy handwriting means we’re not cut out for it. 🖋 Let’s rewrite that story (literally—with pen in hand!).

Here’s your gentle permission to begin. 💌

Sometimes, texting feels like a chore (surely I’ Sometimes, texting feels like a chore (surely I’m not the only one who feels this way?). 📱 You’re trying to be thoughtful, but there’s pressure to reply quickly, to keep the conversation going. Postcards don’t come with that pressure. They’re just joy—for the sender and the recipient.

That’s why I love making them. It’s a low-pressure, creative little ritual that turns scraps into keepsakes. And when that postcard lands in someone’s mailbox? There’s no distracting “ping”, no reply needed—just a quiet little surprise waiting among the bills. 💌

Give it a try! This carousel walks you through the basics, and the full tutorial (with all the little details) is in the April 9th post on the TPK Blog—link in bio.

Calligraphy drills are one of my favorite ways to improve pointed pen skills and relax at the same time. They’re meditative, satisfying, and surprisingly powerful—whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned calligrapher warming up.

🍷 Yes, that’s red wine. And yes, it writes th 🍷 Yes, that’s red wine. And yes, it writes this like a dream!

I spent three days testing, staining my fingers (and a rug), and figuring out the perfect way to turn wine into calligraphy ink — and now I get to show you exactly how to do it. From deep burgundy tones to soft gradients, it’s romantic, unexpected, and surprisingly satisfying.

The full tutorial — including the recipe, nib tips, and how to avoid smudging — lives on the TPK blog. Once you click into the post, you’ll be prompted to join Premium (it’s just $1 for your first month with code FIRSTMONTH).

When I watched @thehappyevercrafter’s reel about When I watched @thehappyevercrafter’s reel about stepping away from the content hamster wheel, I felt it in my bones. The second baby, the shifting algorithms, the slow burn of burnout… yep. Been there. Last fall, I took the leap and launched TPK Premium — a cozy, creative space away from the noise where I can actually teach again. Write again. Share again.

One of this month’s Premium treats? A pointed pen worksheet built around this bold Lucille Ball quote: “I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than the things I haven’t.” It’s flourishy, unapologetic, and a perfect reminder to say yes to the creative things calling your name.

If you’ve been on the fence about joining Premium, consider this your sign. I’d love to see you inside. 💛 Visit any of the blog posts from the link in my profile to sign up! Try a month and see how it goes! There’s some really neat content coming this April, including how to write with red wine and how to make a gorgeous flourished parrot.
