It’s #RandomActsOfKindnessDay!

A small act of kindness can change a day.

Whether it’s a kind word, a helping hand, or checking in on a friend—every little act makes a difference. Let’s make kindness a habit.

What makes Shetland, Shetland? A visitor arriving in Shetland for the first time soon realises that this is a distinctive place.

But what creates that sense of difference? What’s Shetland’s particular identity? Not easy questions, but our blog tells all: https://t.co/3AGoeSImyg

Progress has been hard fought this week. There's a frustrated tangle of yarns on my floor to show for it.

As an artist there are days when my creative decisions flow easily & other days/weeks I feel stuck & progress is slow. It's all part of the creative cycle.
