Cutie Pampootie Hooties – crocheted owl keyrings
Say Hello to two Cutie Hooties. These little owls will be winging their way Down Under – a commission for two little girls in Australia. Another fun crochet project, and a variation on this pattern from Ravelry. Check it out. Hope Rachel and Jenny like them…

It’s all very exciting here at Pampootie Towers. Pampootie products are now on sale at the fabulous Formality design shop in Dublin, just in time for Christmas too. Mini hot water bottles, flower peg kits and flower tape measures are all selling like hot cakes! Very exciting, I’m thrilled that Pampootie is so popular with Formality customers. Thank you to the lovely Karl and Patrick…

Here’s a pretty shawl I knitted for my Mum. It has gorgeous cascading ruffles, so you can wear it several ways. If you fancy knitting one yourself, check out the free pattern here. It’s very easy, knits up quickly so you’ll soon have a beautiful flouncy shawl of your very own.

So here’s a peek at my stall from last week’s Christmas Market at the Ropewalk! Wonderful day, with tons of friendly visitors and lots of lovely comments about my Pampootie makes. Mini hot water bottles were snapped up, heart and star decorations were bought, and loads of interest in everything else, including my new flower kits….more about them in the New Year, when I launch my online store!

A little beaded crochet bag I designed for my friend Jo as a gift. It’s lined with vintage silk kimono fabric bought in Japan.

Knitted, crocheted and beaded for friend Berni’s 40th birthday. Kinda dinky, kinda fun.

Little felted handbag keyrings – the first designs and creations I ever sold!
Feels fantastic when people like what you have made so much that they are willing to pay actual, real live money ! Admittedly these were sold to friends, so perhaps they were being kind but, either way, I was really thrilled and carried on making….

A special cushion I designed and made for a friend. Crocheted in the round with lots of different yarns – mainly wool and silk. I’m pleased how it turned out as I didn’t know what would happen…it evolved! Delighted to say that Berni loved it. Happy meditating…………..
