There are 26 bones in the Human foot and ankle. My feet are no longer as pretty as they once were, so I donned a pair of my hand-knitted socks for this shot.

Rainy Days and Mondays
I may be the only person on the planet who can turn out carded batts that are lumpier and bumpier than the fibre that they started with. Sigh. This is Rainy Days and Mondays – a blend of 3 greys, 2 blues and a green. It is entirely possible that the prevailing weather is having …
365:25 A Pony on the Nose
[i]”The sweeping blast, the sky o’ercast, The joyless winter day”[/i] Oh, joyless it certainly is, and bitter too. Good job there’ll be a warming dram later to honour Rabbie Burns, the people’s poet. It’s a double whammy today – £25, a pony, featuring the Burns £10 note. 25th January being Burns Night, I think we …
Well, that’s that plan scuppered
Today’s blip was going to be my tea-time eggy bread sizzling happily in my brand-new colour-changing frying pan from Lakeland. Lovely crusty bread made yesterday by my own fair hand, golden yolked eggs straight from the ladies in my garden, pale blue pan turning to white… Alas, when I went to unpackage the pan and …

So, I had this brilliant plan for today’s image… Those of you more comfortably numerate than I will no doubt find this strange but it has [i]always[/i] fascinated me that the only time you never see on a 24 hour clock is… 24:00. It so enthrals me when I wake in the night and peer …
Plying tonight

365:23 Digital Photography, the new Rock ‘n Roll
On this day in 1986, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted its first members.
Hackling
We have been working in the studio today – this flying hand belongs to my Sanday Spinners partner Gill, who was working at the hackle blending colours to make[url=http://www.sandayspinners.co.uk/roamin-gloamin/] a gorgeous hand-pulled roving[/url]. My task was to document the process and to practise my colour reproduction skills with my camera.
365:22 Apples
Today’s plan was to walk out to the Peedie Sea and capture Two Little Ducks. However, I got off to a late start after clinging to my bed with a nasty migraine. This afternoon was already planned for work in the fibre studio. Wikipedia came to my rescue: On this day in 1984 – The …
A bad blip day
You know it’s been a bad day when you have to resort to blipping your lunch: Lentil Soup (it was delicious)
