🌟Latest Blog on The Hive🌟

If you haven't been across to our website for a while, why not catch up on your reading with our latest blogs.

Typically a hive is where busy bees live and I think that just about describes our household and our creative endeavours. Our hope is this hive will be where you come for inspiration, information and ideas that you can apply to your own creative projects.

🌟Greetie🌟

Coming from ‘greet’, the Scots for ‘cry’, ‘greetie’ means raining and showering down.

So have you heard of this somewhat poetic word for a shower of rain?

🌟Where The Wildflowers Grow🌟

It’s June already, and time to start spotting some new wild blooms on our wanders. Scotland boasts a wealth of wild flowers, with some 3,500 varieties in total.

🌟Plowetery🌟

Okay, I know we’re having some glorious days of sunshine at the moment, but I’ve been working in the background on adding some words to my Scottish Rain collection. Hopefully all will become clear soon!

So, have you heard of Plowetery: messy, dirty and wet?

🌟Burntisland Shows🌟

Burntisland Shows return this weekend! It changes the Burntisland skyline every year and brings many to the town.

It’s such a key part of the community, with roots dating back to the 1500s - an iconic and historic part of the town 🖤

🌟A Hum of Bumblebees🌟

I’m continuing to develop the series of collective noun, so here is ‘A Hum of Bumblebees’

Bees produce the buzz by flapping their wings 200 times per second. The hum is used to communicate many different things in the hive and experienced beekeepers have the ability to recognise different types of hum.

It’s #worldbeeday2023 and three years ago we launched Bumbumbee Creative!

As it also Mental Health Awareness week I have decided to post some of our Bee Happy Cards to some of our biggest supporters or someone who deserves a little lift.

Please also enjoy a splendid poem by Brian Bilston 🐝 strictly speaking by rian ilston!

💚Mental Health Awareness Week💚

Sometimes, a greetings card is all you need.

I don’t know about you, but when most of the envelopes coming through the door are bills, then a card is always a nice surprise.

I have been working on the next in the series of collective nouns. Now, it wouldn’t be Bumbumbee without a bee or three would it? It’s a hive of activity, but all will be revealed soon!

🌸Cherry Blossom🌸

I have mentioned before that this pattern was inspired by Mothers love of Cherry Blossom. She had a tree in the garden that was in blossom every year on her birthday.

Expect a flurry of Cherry Blossom photos at the weekend!

🌟Wildflowers in the Spring Rain🌟

Okay, so we didn’t get the best weather for the Bank holiday weekend ☔️, but on our little wanders everything looked so green with new blooms appearing. Can you tell I’m inspired by all the greens just now?! 💚

What did you get up to this long weekend?

Looking forward to spending time with family this bank holiday weekend, hope you have something exciting planned?

🌟Circus of Puffins🌟

I hope you had a fantastic bank holiday weekend, I do much prefer these four day working weeks!

I realised that I didn’t actually share the final composition for a Circus of Puffins with you. It gave me the idea to do more prints featuring collective nouns for coastal birds and animals. If you have a favourite, please share it with me - a wreck of seagulls perhaps?

🌟Where the waves and the golden sand meet🌟

The Fife Coastal Path begins close to the Forth Bridges and winds its way northwards around the golden coastline of eastern Scotland. It stretches 81 miles, before finishing on the Firth of Tay close to the city of Dundee. 🌊

Looking ahead to warmer days when we can explore castles and caves, quaint fishing villages and beaches. ☀️

🌟On the Packing Table🌟

On the packing table this week, two coastal birds set to fly off to a new home 🏡

I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned it, but we have a pair of oystercatchers that nest in school grounds. I have been able to watch them and their chicks up-close for several years now. There is a strong mate and nesting site fidelity with Oystercatchers!

🌟Swallows in Flight🌟

It’s that time of year where Swallows have migrated back, and you may have seen a few in flight already. I just love to watch these agile little birds perform their aerial acrobatics!

This print was popular at my recent market, probably because swallows symbolise good luck and positivity, but they are also a sign that we’re getting closer to warmer months ahead 🤞

What are your favourite things about Spring?

The Gallery at Culross Pottery has re-opened after a makeover and Kirsty and Michele, both jewellers, have moved up from gallery volunteers and stockists to gallery owners!

You will find work from local artists and makers, contemporary jewellery, ceramics, glass ware and art works amongst a collection of other treasures.

Very excited to have some of my work @thegalleryatculrosspottery and would like to wish them both all the luck in the world with their new venture! 🍀
