Life between storms // winter in Scotland (vlog)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.พ. 2024
- Long nights, storms, and work..that's pretty much but my existence lately. Scotland always has a surprise or two up her sleeve..and January was no exception. But even during times without adventure or anything exciting on the agenda, I try to stay inspired by seeing beauty each day. Lately I've been so busy that time is a blur, so I am trying to slow down an appreciate the quiet.

If you're new here, hello! My name is Sarah and I moved to Scotland after meeting my (now) husband Shaun (aka Wolfy) while traveling in Scotland. You can hear about it in this video: • How we met / Moving to...
I'm an independent artist and I make a living teaching art online as well as making videos here and on my art channel @SarahBurnsStudio

My beautiful wife forgot the "E" in lorne sausage
Aye she did
Is it like spam? That’s what it reminds me of.
@@moonchaserstudio no it's more like a a gritty sausage. I know that sounds unappealing but its amazing!
@@moonchaserstudioI think it’s closer to corned beef, but it can have pork in it too.
Ys, sh did, but it’s asily don :)
I had to laugh...Floki is probably thinking "Mom is seriously obsessed with the stick in the snow game." 🤣
Hahaha...you're right! He leads me over to that spot all the time probably thinking "i guess I better play with her, she loves this game..."
@@sarahinscotland and Tracie - this bit and watching the dance of play between Sarah & Floki reminds me of a fun book and the way cats and their humans play together:
Dancing with Cats
by Burton Silver (Author), Heather Busch (Author)
Beautifully captured.Thanks for sharing.
....thanks for hangin' out with us 😊
Thank you for the peace and beauty. Enjoy ❤
hello Sarah! It's breathtaking. The scenery is absolutely fascinating. Thanks a lot for sharing from Scotland🥰
Sarah I feel the same about wind this time of year, where I live there are wind storms that roll through the lanscape. It's quite pleasent if you don't have to go out, but somehow this weather causes every contusion or injury you ever had to hurt. Spine, bones broken long ago, teeth - you name it.
Love your videos and since I’m a cat rescue house, love the cat! So sweet…beautiful video. I left Canadian winters almost 10 yrs ago for the hot tropics of southern PANAMA. When winter shows up, it’s so beautiful..almost miss her! Almost….
That sky and those clouds are fabulous!!
Your flowers are Japanese quince. A lovely early shrub. ❤
Please add some of your paintings that were returned to the online inventory. 😊 Also, the snow! that’s where it went. We have none in Minnesota which is unreal.
Just purchased one of your beautiful calendars. I, too..am an artist and photographer…and my heritage goes back into Scottish history …and what I’ve traced thus far..a Sept of one of the Clans. I may try to visit this year..but it depends on health issues. Im truly afraid once I get there..I won’t want to return! I’m loving your work …and the channel. Can’t wait to get your calendar! Best to you..and congratulations on your new permanent Visa!
That's what watercolor is for me, something I do for the pure joy of it. I use to be a full-time professional weaver, BTW, and color was the focus of my work whether wearable or wall art. I don't do it any more, became to physically arduous. But I still knit.
Weaving is a fascinating skill
I feel like I go on a mini vacation every time I watch the videos on this channel…it is always very calming. Seeing as I have 2 cats of my own I particularly enjoyed seeing Floki having so much fun with the stick in the snow. Thanks for all the content you put out there it is so appreciated.
Love the video Sarah. Life can and should be simple enjoyment.
Love your videos. They are so relaxing to watch and your videography is incredible. Enjoying so much seeing Scotland thru your eyes. I love both your channels- but this one is my fave. Thx for sharing ❤
I love working with fiber and have been a spinner and felter, weaver, for over 40 years. I still dye fiber regularly and love to make art with it. I have made many sweaters and vests with my handspun yarns. I love that you work with fiber too!
What a wonderful skill 💙
Wonderful video Sarah, so relaxing. I look forward to hearing Wolfy play that bass😉. Cheers, Mike.
Not sure if he will on camera 🙃
Floki is too cute!
My heart fluttered a little when I saw you organizing your bobbins of floss early in this video. I have container upon container of floss like that and cross stitching / embroidery was one of my early crafting loves. I have a huge shelving unit storing containers of hand dyed fabrics, floss, patterns and embellishments. Even though I don’t stitch regularly these days, it sort of gives me a sense of peace knowing that I have the supplies at hand for when I feel the urge to create something (other than painting). I haven’t done macrame since I was a child and my mom taught me how to do a few projects 😊. Another beautiful video and glimpse of life in Scotland… I think I’ll make some granola this morning ❤.
Sounds wonderful to have a big shelf of fiber materials ready to go for anything your heart desires...
What a beautiful video, Thank you Sarah, for a womderful channel
Thanks Sarah! Always fun seeing what you're up to. I love seeing the kitty chasing in the snow😸Those cold sunny days are nice to hang laundry. it smells amazing.😊
Had such a nice time with you, Wolfy and Floki while I knit on my latest pair of wool socks - my sock stash has been dwindling lately due to older pairs getting holes, so re-stocking is necessary. I wear hand knit socks nearly every day - they are warm in winter and cool in summer. I have also gotten back into my cross stitch this winter; I found a few beautiful patterns with wolves in memory of my hubby who loved the wolf. I will get around to those as you say, slowly in time because I create for the enjoyment of it. Take care Sarah! 💗
what a great idea to knit your own socks...I might try to learn that skill at one point. It would especially nice to learn how to make fleece-lined socks
I enjoy your vlog videos so much. Thank you for sharing! 💞😊
I enjoy your videos so much. I love kitties, watercolor and gouache too❤
Amazing photography Sarah, thank you for all that you share. I think the winter months brings out the creative you, I picked up a crochet hook as I really felt the need to do something with my hands whilst sitting on a dark winter night. Love how you share a snapshot of your life.
I agree. Long hours of darkness and a hyperactive mind..I need tons of hobbies 😂
Allways look forward to seeing your weekly videos. ❤ Actually made a few paintings and drawings this week. You inspired me. 😊
I loved hanging out with you. I have your Callander and I am blown away by you pictures.
I had to smile when you commented on "deep snow." Here in South Wales, as a child, deep snow was literally half way up a two story house., not been that way for a while though.
Just a thought, would it pay to do a few more in person sales? I imagine it's a lot of work though.
I look forward to more posts. Stay warm x
Oh, what a wonderful bush to be blooming bright red flowers in winter. Do you know it's name? There is still greenery around, things like that can lift ones spirits. I can see why you love it there. Your kitty cat is so cute and playful. Stay warm and take care of each, looking forward to your next vlog.
It's a japanese quince, and it's supposed to flower in spring/summer but with the drastic changes in temperatures lately it's been confused!
Hi Sandy. The bush looks like a Japanese quince or chaenomeles japonica. We have several bushes in tight bud in our garden here in eastern France, the birds love to perch and shelter in them all through the year. They produce a few fruits in the autumn, yellow-green quinces and their thorns are deadly !
Lovely to see the snow. Also loved your Aussie tea towel with koalas and kangaroos, will go well with a new custom made Barb e que set up come spring.
Wolfy has family in AUS so we have some gifts from them. Brings a little 'warmth' into the home
Oh a visit out here to this beautiful land maybe one day@@sarahinscotland. I have great great great grandparents from Ardnamurchan (1793) , connections between the countries/people is fascinating.
I always take a lot of screenshots of the landscape in your videos and than (try to) paint them 😉.
I don't know about you Sarah, but organising my embroidery threads makes my heart so happy. haha. Have you tried painting your fabric and then embroidering it? It's a lot of fun.
I love organising the thread 😂 it's so relaxing and total eye candy. No I have not tried painting my fabric yet but I was thinking about trying it soon, as I have an idea for a landscape with a soft sunset sky
You have such a beautiful home. Being in Kansas wind is a lot to deal with. Your wind is very ominous. Knitting and crochet is so relaxing as a hobby for me so happy you enjoy the fiber arts as well
Floki playing in the snow is adorable 🥰 My cats also love sticks lol. Sometimes the best cat toys are free 😂
I think so too!
I love these insights into your life. It's like you open your door to us and invite us in and it feels all warm and cosy. Thank you! I've just reorganised our guest room/hobby room and got most of my creations out of the basement and have started to put them up on the walls. There is mostly cross stitch pictures, some paintings too. I hope there will be more in the coming years. We're still getting used to a smaller place and are getting smaller furniture and making the most of the space we have. It's fun! Lots of love to you and yours! 😍
Beautiful scenery as always. I love that Floki was in so many clips. Cats are just awesome companions. I think it’s great that you have a creative outlet that is just for fun.
So proud of my calendar, Sarah! One of my precious treasures! Thank you for walking in the snow for me… when I was a child, I couldn’t get enough! It doesn’t snow where I live now, but it’s for the best in my “golden years”. So…. I paint a ton of snow scenes this time of year. Thank you, Sarah!
I am happy to share the winter vibes!!
Love your aqua coat with hoodie- Wendy in texas
We also are having warmer weather for winter but I know even though the groundhog didn't see his shadow and early spring predicted we will still be in for some more winter weather.
I confess that winter vlogs and videos are my favorite, theres such a slow, peaceful feel to them 😊 oh, what do you do with the embroidery threads? I do tapestry-like cross stitch in my "spare" time 😊 and Floki is a hoot!!!❤❤❤
If you watch my previous video I showed some of the embroidery. I like to make embroidered landscapes 😊
I am fairly new to your channel and have been watching a ton of footage. May I ask, what brought you to Scotland, and are you a citizen or dual citizen. Not that it matters one bit, just curious. The scenery you post is so magnificent. I live in North Dakota, and the land is very flat. Being 71, I don’t see getting to Scotland, so I take lots of snaps of your journeys to hopefully paint from. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for all you give us.
Thank you! If you haven't yet watched it, this is a video sharing my journey of moving Scotland th-cam.com/video/DPt9iFlQZdw/w-d-xo.html I am currently a permanent resident and can apply for citizenship next year. It was a long difficult process!
I enjoyed your video very much. I like your music. Your cat is so cute. They are so much fun to play with. We have a cat. She will be 15 Years old on 4/15/24. It is nice to see what your winter is like. I am a weather observer here in Pennsylvania. I used to be a weather observer in Denver, Colorado for the State of Colorado. I lived there for many years. I love fiber. I started working with fiber in High School 1975-1977 in Minnesota. I don't sell my creations either. Those are for me. I only share if I make something for a family member or friend. It was nice to see your paintings and watch you hang them up. Thank you. Stay warm.
Sarah, personally, I'd keep the memories, keep the few you would sell and then consider donating the rest to the children's hospital.
They raise money for the children, floor and research.
The hospital would give a gift in kind tax receipt.❤
Winter is beautiful there and a season to embrace.
Hugs from 🇨🇦
Thank you. Stay warm.
You do such an AMAZING job at your vids.
I've just binged a load of your videos. What happened to the rest of the Aberdeenshire trail? Was really enjoying it! Though you missed plenty ❤️🏴
Love cats playing in the snow and the clouds in time lapse. What is the price of your art? The Light House? I have 2024 calender and especially love September..my month.
Oh so jealous of your snow. We have just had rain rain rain! And yes when we finally get sunshine so happy to bask in it!
We had only about an hour of snow all winter down here in sunny Manchester (I know winter's not over yet but it seems like spring now)
Wow. Yea lately it felt like spring...then it got cold again. Still not out yet
Yay! Go go garlic 🙌
Another great video - many thanks!
Beautiful compilation of footage and sharing of your thoughts and actions ... lovely to watch. Over 6 years ago via Instagram and the series
"Shetland" (based on Ann Cleeves books) I became acquainted with Shetland Islands and so Shetland wool and Fair Aisle ... As COVID affected a Shetland Island shop ... I bought several pieces. My own income was not affected by COVID and I wanted to support a friend and shop that was. I have several much loved pieces ... Scotland/Shetland wool is certainly special!!
And a side note ... at somewhere in the 6 years ago time frame, my English Shepherd, Emmett was born and became part of my family in Northwest Montana, U.S.. My Shetland Island IG friend, was inspired to also bring an English Shepherd into her family joining a sheep working border collie.
"If it's snowing, I don't care about the cold" ... right. Today it is 3C and wet snow/freezing rain, i.e. kind of miserable compared to -2C and anow which is wonderful!!
Homemade granola - YES!!
And I agree about wind.
Cheers from a viewer that is thankful for your finishing editing and posting a beautiful video!
I really want to visit the outer Hebrides this summer!
I love the video, the scenery, the kitty, the laundry, all of it.😊
Stunning video as always, just love seeing your corner of the world. Floki looks gorgeous and happy, he has you well trained to play the stick game with him.
I am very well trained 😂
Wow you've had it cold. We in the south haven't had snow yet, thank goodness but we've certainly had the wind. I think it's important to have other interests because it means you v come back to your art not only feeling refreshed but often motivated and full of new ideas. Wonderful filming.
I think y’all got hit by a couple of the storms worse than us - I heard there was really bad flooding down south. We had a little less but still bad at times. I’m sad the snow is gone already..
Love the personal weather update. Back in Lossie on Thurs 😊
❤❤❤ Thank you Sarah. ❤❤❤
💕
love the cat footage.. what's the internet without some cat playing 🙂
Ahhh..Hey Sarah..my favorite vloger on you tube. So excited when I saw new video. Just finished making a cup of decaf coffee. And sat down in my glider rocker chair and swing footrest to watch. 😊 It's about 1130am here in chicago. I have your calendar, and it's perched on my work desk. Just lovely photos. I want to say that some of the photos were taken on you bike ride along Scotlandshores. Like the giant sea birds video for example. The snow looks absolutely gorgeous on Scotland. I live winters🥰 FLoki is so sweet❤ a snow cat! Wow. I'll comment again. I'm watching while I type this ..haha. 😊
I’m glad you can enjoy it from your comfy chair ☺️ I love glider chairs and swivels..I ordered swivels for our table and should get them soon
Sorry I edited my comment above. Should had added comment. It's uncanny that here in the US for groundhogs day we experienced high Temps a well! Chicago hit 50! After negative 10 a few weeks ago. The groundhog didn't see its shadow so it's an early spring in six weeks (let's see if that happens). Would you consider incorporating a fiber art class to you other teaching how to classes packages that you offer? 😊 you so talented. Love that your gift brings you so much joy and peace. ❤ thanks for sharing 😊
If you had a dehydrator, things would dry faster.
19:47 Sarah looking at the sky: "it looks like a timelapse" reminded me of the meme of the meme of a kid asking his father what are clouds made of and he replies: Linux servers, mostly. 😂
I had been thinking of looking up recipes for granola. I want to make apple granola. I think I am going to follow your recipe but add apple bits and maybe raisins to it. I think because of the apple bits I might have to keep it in the fridge. Not sure, though.
You could dehydrate the apple first by baking slices in the oven (low temp, slow) then add to the granola after, as long as you seal it all up in an airtight container it would be fine for a little while
@@sarahinscotland Thank you so much for the suggestioni. I will give it a try. It's cold here this week so using the oven won't make the house an inferno like in the summer. I live in the Phoenix, Arizona valley.
too be so loved...
I now think of your channel as "Sarah OF Scotland"
On the time, 5:16 where the camera was on the tripod it l👀ked like the photo art challenge. I really hope you will do that again on insta.❤️👍
Yep it was that spot!
The music is so beautiful, what song is this? 😍
Weather here has been crazy weird and warm too. Last week we had several days of 61°F. That's about 20°F above normal. Like, what season is this? I think I should call it sprinter.
Yuck!
Lovely video Sarah. LOKI is a sweet pusskin, very curious and fun loving. We also have had wild weather over here on the West coast. I love the wind and photographing the waves....thanks for sharing a wee bit of your life.....Alioban ❤
Stay safe, you seem to have some of the worst wind lately!
hi, make another videos , its been long time, I am waiting
Bet your man comes in and says the paintings are in the wrong place! If not, he's not doing his job right.😀
