Old Barn Christmas Market

The Old Barn Market was a great sucsess and we had loads of people visiting us on sunday.

It was a cold and sunny, so perfect day for a christmas market.

Loads of different stalls. Soaps, flowers, knitting, decorations, baking, clay, felt, food and more, so something for everyones taste. I hope you that came enjoyed yourselves as much as I did, and for those of you that didnt come, well you know where to go next year.. 

Remember the Old Barn Market is open every sunday,

but maybe not with all of these different stall holders.

 It varies from week to week.

Also - dont forget to pop up to my workshop on a saturday!

I have it open every saturday from 1 to 4 and I would love to se YOU:)

Adress: 1 Annaskeagh, Mount Pleasant, Dundalk

Just wanted yous all to know that my workshop is open by apointment. I know I had planned to have it open every saturday, but have decided to wait with that until september/october.

Its just taking longer than I thought..

Here is a picture of one of my desks that I work on.

Hearts, teddies and birds waiting to be finished..;)

My sowing machine that I bought second hand for 50 euro works fine...;)

In the process of sowing some strawberries..

Have hanged up a branch where I am gonna hang up loads of handmade birds.

Just have to sow them first..;)

I cant belive its already 10 months since my little prince was born..

Yesterday 10 months ago i rushed into the hospital in Drogheda early in the morning,

after my good friend Petra came to mind Ellen Anna and Marcus.

It couldnt have taken more than 15 minutes

before she was at the house after I had called her,

and she then had gotten herself and her two kids out of bed and dressed and drove up here.

Must have been a personal record.. LOL;)

Just sitting here thinking today that I really have to treasure every moment,

because time really flies..

Hope yous all are having a nice relaxing summer,

even if the weather could be MUCH better..

Today it feels more like fall than summer..

But not to complain.. It can be nice to sit inside drinking a nice cuppa

and looking at The Last Airbender

with the kids..

Ps! A couple of new things in the shop..

Happy sunday ;)

Louth Show sunday 19 of june 2011

I had big plans to take loads of pictures from the Louth show yesterday where me and Petra shared a stall, but these are the only one I managed to take.. Was a great day out. Sun was shining and loads of people and animals enjoying crafts and nice food. Loads of competitions, like best dog, drawing and baking. Kids could do pottery and bounce on the many bouncy castles. You could have a ice cream or enjoy heavenly tasting rasberries.. Just a great day out with plenty to choose from..

Hope all of yous that was there enjoyed it as much as I.
If I find some pictures from others i'll post them here later ;)

Delays....

It has taken a bit longer than I thought.. I have no chance of getting the shop ready for friday. Ellen Anna, Marcus and a cranky teething Eric, and making things for the markets take their time too..;)
As you can see by these pictures it will take a bit longer (ha ha).
I have at least painted the book shelf since I took the pictures;) But its gonna be great and I cant wait to get it up and running. Will probably be after easter. I will keep yous all informed and invite yous all to the opening night with a glas of wine and niblets for the guests;)

Det har tatt litt lenger tid enn eg trudde.. Eg har ikkje haap om aa faa butikken min open til fredag. Ellen Anna, Marcus og ein gretten Eric som faar tenner + at eg lager ting til marknadane tar si tid og..;)
Og som du kan se fra desse bildene vil det ta litt lenger tid (haha).
Eg har iallefall mala bokhylla sidan eg tok desse bildene;) Men det kommer til aa bli kjempebra og eg kan ikkje venta med aa faa den opna. Det vil sikkert bli etter paaske. Eg vil holde dekan alle informert og invitere dekan alle til opningskvelden med eit glass vin og noe aa spise;)
