Just Plain Tweed!
Image
I like these resin bow bag fixings so much that I bought half a dozen so I could make a few wee bags in a variety of fabrics and colours – there is something very satisfying about their ‘boxiness’ plus... Continue reading

'Margo' Bags.

I had the idea for these wee bags a while ago – before Xmas in fact, but have only got around to making them in the last couple of weeks. I like to mix colours and textures in my work... Continue reading

Our final day on the islands was a bit overcast but it perked up once we entered Stornoway. We had plenty of time before we needed to get to the ferry so we took a drive up to Tolsta which... Continue reading

Hebridian Road Trip - Day One - Glasgow to Tarbert.

I notice that at the end of my last post I rather smugly wrote that I would be blogging from the Outer Hebrides – well, obviously that didn’t happen! Although there was Wifi in the hotel I couldn’t get the... Continue reading

Before & After.

I feel like I am riding the crest of a creative wave at the moment. I have so much energy and so many ideas swirling around that there don't seem to be enough hours in the day. Perhaps it is... Continue reading

Oppor-chancities.

I was fortunate enough to be commissioned to make a bag by a lovely lady (another stallholder) I met at the Spring Fling at the Creggans Inn recently. My being there was a complete fluke - the owner had bought... Continue reading

Today’s offerings come under the banner ‘Hanging Decorations’ – I am rather partial to a hanging decoration and they can be picked up relatively inexpensively all over the place! Most of these have been bought at craft fairs directly from... Continue reading

A Week of Inspiration - Day 3

Today I am going to be talking about 3D art/sculptures. I always think of sculpture as being big, almost monumental, but I have a few pieces of 3D art that are pretty small but none the less sculptural. I have... Continue reading

There used to be a handwritten sign on the roadside as you drove up the eastern side of Loch Lomond towards Oban that read ‘Toty Wee Tents Only’. Sadly it is no longer there - it made me smile every... Continue reading

As a voracious reader I have thoroughly enjoyed the run up to World Book Day (March 3rd) and the fabulous programmes relating to it. I have particularly enjoyed ‘Faulks on Fiction’ and ‘My Life in Books’ in which 2 different... Continue reading
