Something Corny Straw Work and Corn Dollies hand crafted in the heart of Aberdeenshire Scotland by Elaine Lindsay

At something Corny we produce a wide range of items all made with wheat straw. A piece of straw work makes a lovely, natural gift or a decoration for your home. We sell a range of products for all occasions - Christmas, Weddings and more! All items are individually hand made for you in our workshop in the heart of Aberdeenshire.

Well another fantastic weekend of straw work comes to an end. I am so proud of the whole class, they worked so hard and produced a great display at the end of today. The standard of work was amazing, very well done ladies and thank you for coming.

Oh my goodness. Everyone worked so hard and are producing lots. I’m looking forward to seeing the end results tomorrow.

Am I ever going to be ready for our Long Weekend of Workshops this weekend? Do you think I am panicking? I'm sure it will all be fine on Friday for the start.
Safe travels to everyone, especially those who are travelling a distance. Look forward to seeing you all and looking forward to having a fun weekend together.

A favourite design of mine that I have made for years but I never get tired of making it.

Lots of preparation going on today in the workshop for our long weekend event which starts on 9th October. The theme is ‘Old is Gold’ and just look at this handful shimmering in the sunshine. Focusing on what we think of as traditional Corn Dollies and then turning them into more contemporary pieces, just to keep our craft moving forward and not getting stuck in the past.
Traditions have to start somewhere.
I could still squeeze a couple more folk in if you are keen to join us.
