A local Fife based group called Blacksand Contemporary Arts presented work which explored the theme of ‘Coast’ in an exhibition at the Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery between November and January and alongside the exhibition held a number of different workshops. I was asked to be involved and decided to teach people how to make lovely little boxes from aluminium drinks cans.

Entries to my Valentine’s Day Competition ended at midnight last night and this winner has been chosen. A big thanks to everyone who took the time to enter. I didn’t get very many entries – not sure why this is, but it sure did make the judging process easier for me as I only had a few images to compare rather than hundreds.

I’m chuffed to bits! I entered a blogging competition recently at www.moo.com. They were looking the ‘Expert Tips’ and thought I would enter my blog post about how to become a Facebook pro – and they liked it! Not enough to get me first prize, but I’m happy to come in 2nd place as I win £100 to spend at moo.com. That means a lot of mini Milomade cards for FREE – superb!

I had a fab day in Edinburgh yesterday at the Out of the Blue Arts Market in the Drill Hall. It’s a great venue – nice and bright and airy. I got a great stall location too and felt very lucky to be in the main thoroughfare – it was terribly chilly though so I kept my cardigan/coat on all day. Music played all day and the cafe was always full to the brim with people and so there was a constant stream of customers with only a few lulls here and there throughout the day.

I recently posted up info about the Charity Chic Eco Fashion Fair happening in October. It’s a charity event and each stall holder is asked to support a charity of their choice and either make a one off donation to that charity or donate a percentage of their sales. I’ve decided to support Endometriosis UK this year and will be donating 10% of my total sales to the charity.

I did the Charity Chic Eco fashion Fair last year and it was great fun and so I was really pleased to find that I can have a stall at the event again this year too. It’s a three day event with lots of stalls crammed with amazing creativity made from recycled/upcycled materials – Milomade will be one of these stall. There will also be stalls manned by some well known charities full of vintage clothes, fashion and bric a brac.

A while back I went to see the exhibition held at Coburg House Studios and I’ve just not had the time to post up some pictures I took of the lovely work I saw.

In collaboration with King Creosote and the Fence Collective the lovely Kirsty of Lovely Pigeon is setting up a pop up shop and creative extravaganza for the duration of the Haar Festival which runs from the 14th-22nd August. The HaarShop will feature work from lots of local and a few non-local artists and creatives. Kirsty got in touch with me a while back and asked me to contribute some of my Milomade creations to sell and I was more than happy to oblige.
