EGG

Coo Clayton – a real good EGG

I can admit this here because I am amongst friends. I stalked Coo Clayton on Edinburgh Gossip Girls before I met her in person… read more of my catch up with the Scottish children’s book author Coo Clayton @EGG

First Life Drawing class in many years. Many ‘not good enough’ feels, but also just embracing the change of pace an event an of mark making creates. Perfect unplugged evening thanks to @reconfigure_lifedrawing and @hayley.whittingham These are my ‘limited line drawings’ in ink. #lifedrawing #ink #draw #femalefigurepainting #femalefigure #reconfigure_lifedrawing
I’ve been sharing my love of mending in the lead up to my October workshop. This one is a redesign I worked on over the weekend. The fabric of the dress was worn out under the arms, (previously mended but now beyond repair). To save the denim from becoming landfill I turned it into a skirt and used the bodice for the pockets. Gotta love a new skirt with pockets! I kept the slightly gathered waist of the dress and used it to give the skirt some shape. I put elastic in the back to avoid having to do a zip. Happy to help with other remakes you have in your closet. Edinburgh workshop details on my homepage. #sew #remake #mendit #pockets #denim #ecofriendly #craft #slowfashion
‘from little things big things grow’ - so instead of burying my head in the sand about the perilous state of our beloved planet Earth I am sharing my love of all things mending and my skills gathered over many years of stitching. The October workshop date is online now- you can find the link on my homepage, as well as the link to my blog about why mending should be part of your sustainability toolkit. #mendit #sew #sustainabilitymatters #notfastfashion #ecofriendlyliving #inthecollective
‘I’m not built to run.’ - for a long time I believed that and I let it stop me even trying. Yesterday two baby swans flew over my head while I was out running. They were the most un-aerodynamic things I’ve ever seen. They almost crashed into each other and I ducked my head because I thought they might crash into me. They are not built for flying, they are built for swimming- except nobody told them so they do both! If they can fly you can run (or insert whatever else your telling yourself no about). #believeinyourself #runninglife #mumlife #unioncanalswans
Just to put it out there that I am in the tribe. I’ve long loved the book, made it through three seasons of the show and although I won’t be @theedinburghbookshop at midnight tonight for the latest Atwood... I will have my nose in the book shortly. #praisebe #handmaidstale #margaretatwood #amreading #streetsigns
Trying to puzzle out my life now that the kids are in full time education. My head is spinning with creativity/earning money/school meetings/family time/exercise/ education/self care/friends/ volunteering... stay tuned.
