Sometimes I have the chance to make little coin purses. These deceptively simple little purses are made from the recycled jeans zips and little pieces of my bag fabrics. But…

    • These beauties and more will be joining me @chapellanemarket tomorrow from 10am! Come along see how very nifty my Jane Backpacks really are, and how a Tara Large Zip Top Handbag can really carry pretty much anything, including a pair of shoes. All this and more, from 10am at the best weekly craft market in Ireland.
    • Just picture perfect!
    • Sunshine! Amazing coffee! Glorious view! Beautiful silver jewellery from @wild_atlantic_silver ! And my fabulous handbags! Moher Market here @mohercottage until 4pm today
    • Could this be the most beautiful market place in Ireland? @wild_atlantic_silver @juliaslobstertruck and myself basking in sunshine here @mohercottage Moher Market here until 4pm🌞🌞🌞👏👏👏
    • Is it really 1 year ago today? Wow. One year ago I had the pleasure of welcoming Des the cameraman and @rteone #rtenationwide presenter Anne Cassin to West Clare to show how I go from collecting jeans from the @midwestsimon charity shop in Limerick, and create my handbags from those raw materials. I was an exciting, sunny day, and so enjoyable thanks to Anne and Des being so relaxed and patient. Great memories on a somewhat greyer day than last year....
    • Coco reckons that as the weather is filthy, the least I can do is pay her attention, so sewing just got a whole lot more complicated
    • Sunday is my day off (as much as you get a day off when you're self employed.). These pictures show my day so far...coffee, Poppy waiting for her #morningwalk, then a bit of polytunnel time, assisted by Coco. The fruits of my labours in the polytunnel are getting more apparent now, with today's haul yielding tomatoes, yin yang beans (thank you @irishseedsavers.ie ), courgettes, rocket and a few different herbs. Finally, the shortbread as the starting point of Millionaires Shortbread. And tea of course. Herby tabbouleh for lunch, and roasted courgettes, tomatoes and new potatoes for tea. Yum. Back to the sewing room with plenty of home grown vitamins in my system tomorrow!
    • A few of my bags out and about @chapellanemarket today. Ignore the showers, come and enjoy the gorgeousness
    • Homework on a rainy day 🌧🌧🌧 Looking at media outlets and trying not to get distracted by reading the latest edition of Hello magazine.... It'll be good to escape this paperwork tomorrow when I'm back @chapellanemarket from 10.30am. See you then!
    • You see that smile? That's the smile of someone who had a #morningswim and caught sight of a dolphin swimming nearby. 🐬🐬 Quite the best start to the day I can imagine.
