Handmade Market tomorrow!!

It's Handmade time again!  There will be a selection of wonderful handmade items at the C.O.W shop tomorrow for your perusal, not to mention a lovely selection of handmade cakes!  

See C.O.W for a list of the talented artists that will have have their work on show, just for you! 

I'm bringing a range of reel-to-reel tape creations that I have been working on this week.  

My Necklac'd range will premier too - Is it a scarf, is it a necklace - whatever it is, it won't blow off in the wind!  

Hope to see lots of you there!  :)

I have been a busy bee...

I haven't really had the chance to post anything lately. To see what I've been up to check out C.O.W.
But in a sentence, the last few weeks look something like this... very exciting and quite busy - organising, tidying, drop-in workshops, felting, pebbles, CAKES!!, homemade cream tea!, watermelon juice, bunting, piping set, trains, crochet, plarn, Artsfest, flyers, 655's, Handmade to come, paperwork, blurb writing, lychee juice (not sure if I like this one or not yet...), LOTS of coffee and hot chocolate, IKEA, cleaning, chocolate eclairs, planning, yetis... , red tights, BIG ROSETTES!!!, more pebbles, yet more felting, more cakes (hehe), zebra cow on my back, workshop bookings!, chocolate fudge cake...

I'm a tired, tired, happy C.O.W girl :D

Back to work...

After almost a week in good ol' Ireland, I'm now back and ready for work again.
On the agenda for this afternoon is plarn related shenanigans... I'm almost out of holiday mode and ready to get some work done. Lots to prepare for Handmade this Saturday - It's the last weekly market at C.O.W. but looking forward to it as ever. I'm thinking about which cakes to make too... mmm, but maybe I'll keep them as a surprise for now... :)

Handmade 8th August, Custard Factory

I meant to get this post up at the beginning of the week, but oh well...
Saturday was great - most of us were outside and the fresh air was lovely! Some new people were there, including Harriet and her lovely screenprints and Isabel from Betty Who? with a gorgeous selection of dresses (one of which I tried on,check it out here, along with other pics from the day).
I brought my spinning wheel and spent the afternoon spinning plarn for Fran's market bag.
I made a tiny cupcake in the morning, with help from my fellow stall holders - thanks for the beads(sprinkles) Sarah, and for the thread to sew them in, Isabel.


It was snapped up immediately by Fran and placed amongst the edible mini cupcakes.

I'll be there again tomorrow, I'm bringing some edible cakes this week too. And I have made two rather special tiny crochet brooches this week that will be amongst the range also.

Do come along and support all things Handmade! Hope to see you there! :)

C.O.W last Saturday...

What a great day!! Not many people braved the rain or the onslaught of photographers working on their portfolios, but I had a blast. I met some lovely people and had a really good day.

Here are some photos from the day...
