I got a bit sidetracked yesterday, having mentioned that I was going to felt 100s of attachments for a new wrap I decided instead to adapt and finish a Horst style jacket and matching bag! This jacket was another 'blank' which Horst was good enough...
My new HUGE dye bath is on the gas cooker, pot and cooker both purchased in advance of Horst's large felt garment workshop and now taking pride of place in my kitchen for the last few days! I'm not 100% sure whether I like the...
I've been to the library, discovered I've won some gorgeous hand spun from my buddy Heather, run a wash, stocked up on brown soda bread and milk as well as 100 dressmakers pins this morning (more in a minute) and now I'm ready for a...
After Horst's workshop Gerda had a few extra days to stay over in Ireland before flying home to South Africa on Sunday so I invited her to stay at Clasheen for a couple of days, boy did we have some fun felting and dying Horst...

It's 12.30 at night and I have finally made Horst and Gina's beds, Kirsten's will just have to wait until tomorrow evening! I still have about another hour of organising/tidying to go but I must say that Dawn's ultimate method of shoving everything into a...
WOW, it's all go here trying to get everything organised for Horst's workshop next weekend, big dye pots, cooker, sanders, plastic, tables, you name it and I'm trying to track it down!!! Cristina is being great as usual and I am heading over to the...
Today has been another exceptionally busy day so far, shortly however I am off for a relaxing bath then heading in to Borris for the opening of the '9 Stones Artists' current exhibition. I am really at the pin of my collar trying to get...
I have just arrived in the door after several of the busiest days of my life. Alan's father Des passed away peacefully in the early hours of Saturday morning and as a result I had to work round the clock at the Sheep and Wool...
I have just spent a really busy time down in Cillin Hill setting up for my weekend workshops at the Sheep and Wool Festival (E25 for either a morning or an afternoon session incl materials, a bargain!) as well as bringing down three of Horst's...
I arrived home safely yesterday afternoon but my luggage stayed in Atlanta, maybe it was trying to tell me something!!! Customs at the airport had already been informed that it was not on my flight so although it does mean I don't have it back...
