Strawberries and cream are simply just utter summer to me, so I stopped at one of the many roadside outlets selling Wexford strawberries and bought myself a punnet or two. I had a hard time not just devouring them there and then, but I contained myself and waited until I got home to the cool [...]
I didn’t capture everyone who came along to the WWKIP today in Tinahely, but I did get some.

I am Scandinavian, I adore Fair Isle knitting, I love colour and crochet and all these elements come together for me in Tapestry Crochet. I am currently preparing a workshop in Tapestry Crochet and had this notion that the yarn from Cushendale Woollen Mills would be ideal for this purpose. The yarn is hard wearing [...]
On the way to the Science Gallery on Wednesday for Daina Taimina’s lecture we swung by the Visual Arts Practise Graduate Exhibition at IADT where we went to meet Emer Brady, whose exhibited piece was simply outstanding. There was very many other very beautiful and quirky expressions to enjoy and some have lingered in my [...]
Wednesday June 2nd 2010 will be with me for a very long time. I spent time with the most amazing people and I was submerged in art and craft and good energy and knowledge and innovation. Plain and simple, joie de vivre at gourmet level!
I went to see the Finals Exhibition at the IADT where [...]
