Do one thing at a time and be present and focus on quality of time over quantity of time.

Some Monday motivation and great advice from Rachael Armstrong @rachaelpaintsweddings , a portrait artist, Blick creative resident and busy mum of young children on overcoming her biggest hurdle as a new creative business owner - time limitations and `mummy guilt`.

Especially good to remember as we move into the month of December and the busy festive period.

Rachael did an interview for us earlier this year which you can read on our website blog (link in profile)

**ISLANDS OF DESIGN - DESIGN TALKS **

As part of @irish_designweek  we are working with @belfastdesignwk @onebite.design and @futureislandisland to showcase creative projects and stories from the islands of Rathlin, Ireland and Hong Kong at this evening of design talks.

Through the lenses of design, architecture and sustainability, they will share ideas on how islands could use design and creative thinking to innovate, collaborate and support people, place and our planet, and showcase projects from islands with populations of 150 people to those of 7.5 million people.

Future Island–Island is an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded project supported by the Design Museum’s Future Observatory and led by Ulster University in partnership with Queen’s University Belfast, The Glasgow School of Art and the University of the Arts London.

A “pop-up design museum” of work from the Islands of Design projects will be shared throughout Irish Design Week from 17th – 21st November in the Belfast School of Art and Cathedral Quarter in Belfast alongside this evening of talks. It will be free of charge with no tickets required.

You can book tickets for the talk on the events page of our website or the Belfast Design Week website
