Pea Green

Even on a dreich day like today, there's still colour to be found in the garden.

These peas never see a pot of boiling water. In fact, they rarely even see the inside of the flat. They're normally eaten on the stairs on the way back from the garden. These three were lucky, they were spared immediate human consumption because they photograph so well.

They're gone now though. Yum.

What did you do today?

Today I started two new projects. This one is going to be a bag. (Who'd have thunk it?!)





And this may be the front panel of a bag or possibly a cushion cover. Not decided yet...



This is a bag I finished last week. My mum bought me the fabric and the bag handles so it seemed obvious that she should have the finished product.



So if you are walking around Edinburgh and see this bag, be sure and ask the lady carrying it for one of my business cards. I've sewn a pocket in there that's the perfect size for a few hundred Rag'n'Bones business cards!

Sell sell sell!

Thanks to all of you who came to visit us in Stockbridge today.

I'll be uploading some new photos onto the catalogue pages in the next week or so.

Please don't hesitate to e-mail if you have any questions or requests.

Always happy to hear about new product/design suggestions.

Dear BBC

Please find enclosed a copy of my script for the pilot episode of a thirty minute radio sitcom.

I am inspired by humour in language, every day encounters with the ironic and absurd, and general silliness. I recognise all of these elements in the classic BBC comedies of the 60's and 70's. Despite not being old enough to remember the likes of Dad's Army, Are You Being Served, The Morecambe and Wise Show, and Sykes when they first appeared on television, I find myself feeling nostalgic for that particular era in light entertainment. It was a time when comedy writing was intelligent without being exclusive and silly without being infantile. Although fashions have changed in television comedy, I think this kind of sitcom will always find a radio audience.

I hope you will consider reading my script. I feel passionately about comedy writing and will forever be entertained by those who write it so well.


And then it was gone, out into the ether, winging its way to the BBC, amateur inconsistencies and all. Fingers crossed...

Reasons to be thankful

So, today was the first day that Rag'n'Bones ventured out into the big bad world! Much like a new puppy, we were a little nervous, a little uneasy on our feet, but we quickly found our stride and even made some new friends.

To these new friends, we would like to say "how much fun was that little adventure?!"

And to those familiar faces who appeared round the corner at various points in the afternoon, thank you. It means so much that you came along to purchase and encourage. Especially on such a damp, dreich day.

Here's to next week's new experience...

Sunday 6th June

It's time to get this show on the road!
