Coburg House Studios
August 24th, 2010
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.

Ran Hwang
August 13th, 2010
I’d never heard of the artist Ran Hwang until today – I was using the new Google image search facility – which I absolutely love as it’s just so organic now – and just happened upon an image of some of her work. I clicked through to her website and was amazed. She uses buttons and pins and large expanses of wall and creates the most amazing images. I guess it could be a modern day take on pointillism in that when you see the work up close, it just looks like a load of dots, but when you stand back and your eyes adjust, the dots merge to form birds and cherry blossom etc.

Vintage Button Heaven
August 9th, 2010
Just before I get stuck into a project that I’m going to be immersed in for the next three days I thought I would have a few minutes online of vintage button therapy and here are a few images I want to share with you…

Sea Fishing
August 9th, 2010
We went fishing with Dan recently and I loved it so much that I want to buy myself a new spinning rod and start fishing off the rocks in Kinghorn and further up the coast on a regular basis. We drove up to Elie very early on a Sunday morning and fished off the rock there.

HaarShop coming soon…
August 6th, 2010
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.

London Treasures…
August 2nd, 2010
I’m off to London in a few weeks for the first time in very many years. I’m really looking forward to it as it’s our very own ’staycation’ as we’re a bit skint and can’t afford to anywhere abroad this year. We’re going to do a Scottish ’staycation’ when we get back too. It’s all very exciting and I love the idea of exploring what is on our own doorstep.

The Big Tent Re-Cap
August 2nd, 2010
Last weekend I was at the Big Tent Festival in Falkland and I thought I would post up some piccies from the weekend – I didn’t take many as I was too busy promoting Milomade and Love Arts Scotland and having a good time in the Exhibition Tent along with fellow exhibitors. It was a great weekend and we only had one big downpour on Saturday evening, but the rest of the time the weather was lovely.

Bring back the Bees
August 2nd, 2010
Recently we spent a whole weekend clearing the patch of ground on the other side of the garden wall. This patch has always been covered in nettles, goosegrass and ivy which would creep over the wall and invade the garden. It also wasn’t nice to walk down the path at the bottom of the garden and have to avoid being stung by nettles whenever we wanted to appreciate the view and look down to the beach.

Craft Fair Re-Cap
July 31st, 2010
I recently did a craft fair at Ardross Farm – Summer in the Loft – and thought I’d post up some piccies of my stall and the event. It was the first craft fair I’d done in a long while, so I was a bit nervous and not sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a really good weekend.

Dummy Jam on sale soon…
July 28th, 2010
Recently I blogged about making Jam for my friend Matt, for him to sell and raise money for a film he’s making. We’ve named it Dummy Jam as it takes after the man who inspired it – a deaf Scotsman name James Duthie, fondly known as Dummy Jim, who cycled to the Arctic Circle in 1951. It will be on sale at long last this weekend at the Doune the Rabbit Hole Festival and I’ve just designed the labels and printed them out.

Buy direct from Milomade
July 26th, 2010
I spent some time last week adding a new shop to this website. I tried out lots of Wordpress e-commerce plugins and most of them were terrible, lacking severely in documentation and support and so impossible to implement. I then stumbled upon Ecwid and manage to set it up and style it in less that 2 days. The support is excellent and it’s so easy to use that I would definitely recommend it.
