Spring Is In The Air...



Yes, we have it on good authority from the met office that this Sunday 1st March is officially the first day of spring.

So, celebrate with a big jug of flowers!!! Here's one we made earlier...


What's your favourite way to celebrate springtime?

We also love...

sowing the seeds of exciting new projects
getting ready to plant a garden
looking forward to the puffins returning to the Isle of May!

Secrets Of A Funky Scottish Life: Capturing the Creative Spark...


The #1 secret to capturing the creative spark is...


...stepping away from the studio!


It may be where you write, paint, cook or craft your art, but the experiences that ignite your imagination often happen away from your creative workplace.

You may find everyday inspiration...

  • enjoying quality time-out with loved ones
  • going to your favourite place in nature (do it often!)
  • cultivating a kitchen garden
  • sitting in a cafe and watching the world spin around you
Take pleasure in the details of life! It will help you see - and create - the bigger picture!

A Funky Scottish February in the East Neuk...


We love...

  • brisk and bracing walks
  • curling up under cosy blankets
  • fishing boats rocking in the harbours
  • wavy washing lines
  • candles flickering in the evening
  • fish and chips for supper
  • big waves and blustery skies

Happy February!
