♻️Scotland’s Climate Week ♻️ Around 80%

♻️Scotland’s Climate Week ♻️

Around 80% of Scotland’s carbon footprint comes from all the goods, materials and services that we use.

It’s an area we can make a huge difference. We can prevent waste in the first place by making sustainable choices where we can in everyday life, for example by using washable, reusable face coverings, moving away from ‘fast fashion’ clothing choices, always make use of recycling facilities when they’re available and choosing reusable items rather than single use items. Help create a ‘circular economy’, where goods and materials are kept in use for longer as we reduce, reuse, repair and recycle. Net Zero Scotland

Reused and recycled packing is an easy and small way that we can contribute. I’d love to hear about the little changes you’ve made to reduce, reuse, repair and recycle

🌿Autumnal inspiration🌿

It’s always nice to enjoy a change of season with the family, and those walks end up influencing what I’m creating - I have so many specimens to draw as the kids collect so much from the forrest floor!

Working away on some greetings card designs that I hope to be able to show you soon.

🌟Sunflowers🌟

We’re a little bit obsessed and Sunflowers are still a big talking point here. The flowers in our garden have gone from strength to strength 🌻and the kids were amazed by the colours of the flowers at our local Ecology Centre.

Do you love sunflowers too?

🌟Haiku🌟

The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third.

This greetings card was a collaboration with my sister who wrote the poem. A further collaboration of the poetic kind is the inspiration for my new Christmas cards for 2023, but more on that another day…

🌟Packing Table🌟

Seaweed repeat pattern notebooks were on the packing table yesterday. This pattern was one of my originals and is still a favourite.

I love getting new stationery, but can’t write on the first page of a new notebook! Are you a stationery addict?

🍁Autumn Incoming🍁

Summer is over? Ok, so it’s been a warm weekend of exploring with the little ones, but the signs of autumn are appearing. No better example than our little haul of ‘conkers’ from the horse chestnut trees. Inspiration everywhere!

What signals Autumn for you?

The reaction to the Tea Towel has been tremendous. ☔️So much so, I’ve had to reprint much sooner than I’d planned!

Thank you so much for your support fellow Pluviophiles!

🌟Design Process🌟

So I’m just getting over the lurgy 🤒and my creative process has come to a complete stop. A few weeks ago I started some initial sketches of winter foliage - I’ve pinned them up to try and get a new perspective on it all and try and clear this artistic block!

⭐️Collecting Treasure🌟

It’s come around a little earlier, but it’s that time of year where my children’s pockets are constantly full of pine cones!

Completed a little sketch yesterday as preparation for some forrest floor patterns.

Tell me I’m not alone with pockets full of woodland treasures at the end of a wander?!

🌟A rose by any other name🌟

Just look at this beautiful rose folded by the fantastic and talented Jess @therickettydesk 🌸💕 Great to see my paper used in this way!

Jess has been working with @godunfermline to deliver a series of origami sessions this summer at @abbot.house. Jess is offering an origami rose session on the 24th of August - I’ll post some details to my story.

What a lovely wee surprise on a Friday, thank you Jess for letting me share your origami!

As you may have noticed from my stories we were on a short glamping trip last week and our enamel mugs got another outing in the wild 🏕️

Today I’m back to work, so mugs are back to their normal daily use, and coffee is on the go already! ☕️

🌟Burntisland Harbour🌟 The historic Burntisl

🌟Burntisland Harbour🌟

The historic Burntisland Lighthouse is located on the West Pier of the harbour, and is a great local landmark.

In recent years it’s had a disagreement with a Russian cargo ship, and now with public access to parts of the harbour restricted it’s harder to take in the view in real life.

However there is a growing campaign from Burntisland Harbour Access Trust to rectify this for future generations

The school summer holidays continue, but do we need to talk about the weather? A proper daggle of a day yesterday though - right at the point where plans had been made to take the wee ones out and about…

Daggle - falling in torrents, my last addition (to date) of my Scottish words for rain featured on our new tea towel.🌧️

🌟Scottish Words for Rain 🌟

This illustration is always a good topic of conversation, 🌧️and it’s amazing to hear how far the prints and tea towels are travelling. In recent weeks it’s made it’s way across the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway!

Let me know if I’ve missed anywhere!
