Welcome to The Merrygold Project! 🌼✨
I’m Divya (it means divine!), and the “The Merrygold Project” – my little corner of the internet where I blog, run an Etsy shop, and make fun art. Think of this as a stress-free zone where creativity is less about “getting it right” and more about feeling good.
❤ You’re in the right place if:
- you’re looking for ways to practice slow, intentional creativity. No pressure, no perfection – just small, beautiful moments of self-care through art, journaling, and DIY projects.
- you want to create a memorable handmade projects or gifts for loved ones but want a quick & easy way to do so – preferably with templates!
- you’ve ever wished your life felt a little softer, a little cozier – like the warm glow of fairy lights or the first sip of your favorite coffee.

❤ Why creativity = self-care?
Life is a lot. Between work, notifications, and your never-ending to-do list, your brain is constantly on overdrive. I created this blog to be your permission slip to slow down. To step away from the chaos, take a deep breath, and do something just for you. These activities are here to help you relax, recharge, and feel more like yourself again through slow intentional me-time.
❤ Finding the gold in your life
We’ve all been through tough times. And while we can’t control everything, we can choose how we take care of ourselves.
I believe that creativity, no matter how simple, can be a form of healing. There’s something powerful about making something with your own hands, even if it’s just for fun.
The Japanese concepts of Wabi Sabi (finding beauty in imperfection) and Kintsugi (repairing broken things with gold) have always resonated with me. I like to think that creativity is a kind of Kintsugi for the soul – it helps us put our pieces back together in a way that’s uniquely ours.
That’s why I named my blog The Merrygold Project — because in the midst of everything, I wanted to find the little golden moments that made life feel merry again. And now, I hope this blog helps you find your own little pieces of gold, too.
This is your invitation to press pause, grab a cup of something warm, and make something just for the joy of it. You deserve this time for yourself. ✨
So, welcome – take a deep breath, get comfy, and let’s create something magical together. 💕
Lots of love,
Divya
