Original Kerry Craft Market, part of Culture Night in Kerry



My poor blog, I'm still struggling to get the time to update it! Between general life stuff, trying to update The Woolly Way blog, trying to learn how to update the Cork Textiles Network website,  a completely distracting yet possibly really exciting venture in Dingle, and now I'll be taking part in Culture Night in Killarney!!  I will be hanging out with some fantastic Kerry Crafters on New Market Lane, selling my wares, and even a little bit of demonstrating... Its not officially open from 5pm, but I will be there from about 3pm. I had said I was going to take a break from fairs and markets this year, but since I am still carless, (my lovely mitzi has gone to scrapyard heaven), I am going to sell my crafty soul to raise funds for the vehicle I have always wanted! (Well not really, anything that has 4 wheels and moves will actually do).




Original Kerry Craft Market Demonstrations:

 Craft Demonstrations highlighting traditional and contemporary craft making techniques. An opportunity to meet some of Kerry’s master craft makers as well as see their work. Music, food and fun. Co-ordinated by members of Original Kerry in association with the Backlane Gallery.


Venue: New Market Lane, Killarney.  
Time: 5.00p.m. – 9.00p.m.

Electric Picnic 2011 and other stuff


I haven't been online much this Summer, not blogging, not even tweeting. The main reason was I wasn't in the mood, I felt like I had nothing happy and exciting to contribute so I kept stum. As much as I enjoyed the Body and Soul Festival, I felt exhausted, and drained after it, I was even thinking of backing out of the Electric Picnic. I think I went through a mini midlife craft crisis. So after a lot of soul-searching I came to the conclusion am I fecking mad?
