Artisans Craft Market in Limerick and late night workshop.

Just wanted to say that I had a wonderful day selling at the market.



We started at 12.00 and finished at 19.00 and I rarely had time to spare, at the end almost lost my voice! This is my stall minded by my next stall neighbor.


The dotted scarves sold very well today. Has anybody noticed yesterdays hat? It was still slightly damp...


I have taken the three little wonderful mice to the stall and they worked very well to attract the yummy mums!

A happy customer wearing my scarf!

Other stalls offered hand made postcards: (Sadie Cramer) (visit www.smartstudios.ie)


felted wool (but knitted) (Hanora -K - Designs)


Lovely button jewelery and bits and bobs (Ruth from Nice Day Designs! http://www.facebook.com/nicedaydesigns)


After all that selling I gave a little 2 hour workshop to Ania.


She has been using Icelandic wool to make a lovely sculpted vessel.
There is some more pics I have taken during the process.


At the end of the day she was really pleased with the outcome. The vessel is going to be used to hold pens in the office at work. She also tried to make a fridge magnet but this time we tried to make a shape of a tree. I think that hands are the biggest gift of all,  that we feltmakers have.
