Good Friday..... Great Friday

Happy Easter Another interesting week here in Dublin
The photo above was taken on Monday of the floor in Christ Church Cathedral - such an amazing building you really should take a half hour out and visit it the next time you get to Dublin.

We have been so lucky weatherwise here in Ireland in the last week - sunshine and cherry blossom at every turn.  Forcast is good for the next few days so I hope you all have a great Easter break wherever you are.

Today, Good Friday, I am honoured to be listed as the seller of the day on the Etsy Ireland Facebook page....details here... ETSY FACEBOOK  Etsy Ireland is made up of over 300 crafters from all over the country and beyond.  Check out our blog page for links to some amazing creations and enjoy.  BLOG

Thats about it for now - I will be spending some time over the next few months working on my faithful spinning wheel experimenting with some lovely fleeces I have gathered over the last year from great shops on ETSY.  I will be posting the results later in the Summer.

Cheers for now

Where does the time go...


I started the year with the greatest of intentions of updating my blog regularly, and fell at the first fence.
No excuses but life and love and the pursuit of happiness, or so the saying goes.


Its now April and the week before Easter.  Daffodils are nearly finished their Spring dance and cherry blossom is being sprinkled all over the lawn with the help of the fresh breezes and April showers. 


Since the new year I have dabbled in a few different crafting areas.  The "knit" greeting cards are taking off - mainly for new babies - which I am glad to see will be a continuing trend.  (Loads of friends have friends with new babies on the way.


I followed in March with a collection of small stylish Shawlettes of various colours and textures.


And here we are in April.  I am brancing out into baby wear with the introduction of my Tiny Chuus - wee knit baby t-bar booties for the discerning young giggler about town.......
from wee gift sets which have Tiny Chuus and socks in a gift box


to multi coloured Tiny Chuus gift wrapped and ready to mail.

So for the time being I guess I will be concentrating on the little people and their wee tootsies.  If you get to read this I would love to hear from you. 

Thats about it for now. 
Wherever you are I hope you keep well.
Cheers

P.S.  I do a weekly Craft News article for the Etsy Ireland team..... check out their blog here....ETSYIRELAND
