I haven't posted here in ages but I here are my newest paintings. Since retiring from @scotfire_DG I have started to paint. Self taught so no rules to break. 🙂 #ConstitutionHill #bordercollie #Rooster #firehorse

This is Bert. He's a bronze #turkey. He's also highly intelligent, like music, follows us round the garden and not to be eaten. #free #notforxmas

#Handbag all from a piece of #leather left over from the #furniture production world. Cut, embroidered and handstitched by me. #recycle #reuse

I've made this sheep fleece and lavender filled embroidered cushion to be auctioned at our local pubs @breastcancer charity event.

This is Jimbo. He was unwanted on a farm. Flea ridden,worm filled & terrified. We brought him home 6 years ago & he's now a happy boy. This month we took him to his first show..he won..Best Dog. beating lots of pedigree fancy dogs. Very proud of him. Always #rescue #bordercollie

No pattern for this #embroidery. Using old remnants from as upholstery business reduces waste. #crafting #art #tree #seasons #forsale

After a huge amount of work the recycling process of converting dirty #sheep fleece and #recycling leather it's finally done and all the benches in our local pub are now comfy.

Part of the work towards a new #project relying on completely #recycled or free local parts to combine into a new sympathicically created item. This is the local #sheeps wool getting it's very first bath. The outdoor bath was free too🙂 #Sustainability #recycling #Scotland

Unfortunately #StormIsha was a disaster for my poly tunnel and complete trashed it. However I plan to restore and rebuild. ... probably with lots of pallets and other scavenged item..... #smallholder #storm #scotland – at Closeburn, Scotland

This is my #Christmas cactus that has flowered before Christmas for the first time. Usually January. It's around 60 years old and belonged to my mum. Don't know if this is the usual age they can happily live to? @TheMontyDon @GWandShows – at Closeburn, Scotland

Living on a small holding always has its ups and downs. However the loss of my chickens and rooster to a predator is a real sad day. – at Closeburn, Scotland
