The Cardigan River & Food Festival is on the 11 – 12th August and I’m so looking forward to it! Its always a brilliant day & this year its on two days so double the brilliantness! I’ve got new things planned for those 2 days , ballerina sheep, lavender postcards…..and of course more Dragons!! So please come along, its a wonderful festival, lots of lovely food and boats and crafts and fun!
Then on the 16th August I shall be back at Castell Henllys at the 2nd of their August Fairs so if you didn’t catch me at the first one here’s your chance!!

Hello lovely people!
Hope it isn’t snowing with you, its still sunny here in Wales but it did rain a little today and I did have my winter coat back on today but I have full confidence that the sun will reappear and it’ll get warmer…hopefully by Monday!

Then on Wednesday 11th April I’m at St Dogmaels Village Hall at a table top sale for St Dogmaels Family Centre, so pop along and support a great Charity.
Saturday the 14th I’ll be at the Queens Hall Narberth with the Pig Street Collective – I’m really excited about this one as its the first one I’ve ever done in Narberth and I’m flattered to be asked to do one with the Pig Street Collective as they have such a wonderful, high quality range of Crafters and great things to sell so pop over and see me, I’ll be grateful to see a familiar face there, and Narberth is such a lovely place for a wander anyway.
Right, I’m off to make more Dragons,pigs, dogs and cupcakes (felted!) so I have enough stock to fill my orders and stock a table!!
Have a lovely Easter holiday, hope the sun shines on you and yours and maybe I’ll see you at a fair, come and introduce yourself, I’d love to see you xx

Hello everyone!
Hope you’re all having this gorgeous weather too, its scorching here in West Wales which is a welcome relief after the COLD we’ve been having lately, my hands were not happy!
I’m really excited – one of my Dachshunds ( the grey & Black striped one in the album ‘Nice things’) has been bought by the Judge of the Dachshunds at CRUFTS! She’s taking him with her to sit on her desk at Crufts so you never know, lots of people may want one…I may need more jumpers!!
I’ve been busy making Heat Pad Shoulder Dragons, they go in the Microwave and then snuggle onto your shoulder and ease away all your aches & pains…if you’re lucky they may even croon you a Dragon Love song (you may need ear plugs if they do). You can see a picture of a few of the them in the Album ‘Nice Things’. They’re selling really well and Im really pleased with how they’ve turned out so I’m thinking of making them into Draught Excluders too…watch this space!
I’ve been asked if I’d like to have a stall at Pig Street Crafts on April 14th in Narberth and I’m really excited!! So fingers crossed I can get a space there. I’ll let you know.
Also BIG NEWS!!! I’ve booked for the Cardigan River & Food Festival in August, its on 2 days this year so I’ve taken the plunge and gone for both of them! Its on the 11th & 12th August and its always an amazing day, you can find out all about this years event at http://www.cardigan-food-festival.co.uk/, maybe next year a photo of my stall will be there!! Its my first BIG fair so I’m both nervous and really excited!!
