Sandie Craig Organic Artist. Recycling and money……. This entry was posted on August 4, 2012, in ponderings. National zero waste week. Yesterday while we were rock pooling in Whitley Bay with my Grandson, my daughter asked me ‘….if money were no object – would you still buy all your clothes and materials from the Charity Shops, pick up found objects, use Freecycle. And adopt animals from Rescue Homes……’. Didn’t take even a heartbeat for me to say yes! It is National Zero Waste Week. Daily I pick up bloody...

Sandie Craig Organic Artist. Woolly matters………. This entry was posted on August 13, 2012, in life, laughter, friends and family. Spent a great afternoon with the lovely and incredibly busy Nickie of Eden Gotland Sheep. At her farm, Scalerigg, situated between Renwick and Kirkoswald at the foot of Hartside Pass……….What a glorious view – I even saw the wee house at the top of Hartside and the visibility wasn’t that great. Imagine what it must be like on a clear day! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are comm...

Smells like Autumn…………… | hedgewitchandstitch

Sandie Craig Organic Artist. Smells like Autumn……………. This entry was posted on October 9, 2012, in life, laughter, friends and family. I love Autumn – what was it George Eliot said about Autumn –. My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive Autumns’. Smells are the leaves when the birds turn them over to look for insects buried beneath – loamy and pungent – like fungi……. In front of the Aga – even the steaming manure pile! But most of all the wood...

My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive Autumns’. The smells of autumn are more evocative for me than the changing colours – the smell of … Continue reading →. Smells like Autumn……………. Why I love wool………. It’s never the way you remember it…….

Sandie Craig Organic Artist. Nana’s Rule………………. This entry was posted on July 18, 2012, in life, laughter, friends and family. All the family groups took their own little picnic, the weather stayed fine and the kids had a great time. All ages from. Another thing which struck me was the number of Grandparents, mostly Nana’s (of which I am one) in attendance in place of working parents. I was brought up by my Granny who also worked full time in our family grocery business and she was, in my memor...My darl...

Sandie Craig Organic Artist. This entry was posted on July 24, 2012, in ponderings. I’ve just been reading a great little book. Called Surfaces and Textures by Polly O’Neil with some fabulous and unusual. Photographs of urban and rural textures and have decided that this is my new project. For each 20 photos I take I will save one perhaps – can’t seem to find classes near enough to travel to – :0(. Cracks, faded colours and fissures then I would have a reference point to translate onto felt. Yes I think ...

Sandie Craig Organic Artist. Why I love wool………. This entry was posted on August 31, 2012, in wooly matters. Firstly, I am acutely aware that most of this Blog will read to my pals as if I’m teaching them to suck eggs – it will appear to many as pretentious and give an inflated sense of my limited knowledge – shamelessly gleaned from Internet sources as I don’t keep sheep myself – yet……to these generous and lovely people I apologise in advance – xx. When we talk about wool we usually think of the sheared...

Sandie Craig Organic Artist. Posted in June 2012. Inspired by the natural world from an early age I remember walking through the woods, glens and unspoiled beaches around the North East of the Scottish Highlands where I grew up. I would marvel at the colours and forms of plants particularly the way that Mother Nature would overcome any obstacle to cover man made … Continue reading →. Smells like Autumn…………….
