I’m catching up on previous days and todays’s post is from day 2: all about you:

By day I work as a landscape architect, which I’ve been doing for about 15 years, I’m very lucky to work for a great garden design practice, but the work is purely computer based, and I was always drawn to making things by hand, so I’ve been exploring other fields that would allow me to do so.

It all started from pursuing an idea of making my own clothes- I studied fashion design for a couple of years at which I immensely enjoyed and learned solid pattern making skills- the knowledge that I still use for making handbags!

One led to another and the next was a leather craft course with and I caught a bug and fell in love with this slow, mindful ancient craft.

All hardware options for the belt/ sling bags are back in stock and available now: silver / gold with a snap or a stud button- and I’ve updated it on the website.

If you would like one before Mother’s Day get your orders in before the 7th March, as all the bags are made to order.

I'm a bit late coming to the March Meet the Maker challenge, but hoping to make up for the past couple of days.
Anyway today is day 3 and the prompt is 'snippet'
Here's a snippet of some prep work for an upcoming project & collaboration which I'm very excited about. More details to come soon

I’ve just recently completed this personalised card and coin purse to match the belt bag that a customer had previously bought. Thank you!
I love getting custom orders, so if you have anything in mind get in touch.
I will be listing these little purses on my website, but in the meantime you can dim me if you would like one.

~Christmas orders dates~

As Xmas is approaching very quickly, the last order dates for guaranteed Xmas deliveries are:

For small & small personalised items (everything with free shipping on my website and my Etsy shop)

- To Ireland -December 18th
- To Europe- December 11th
- Rest of the world- December 5th

Handbags are already closed for Xmas delivery. I’m really sorry, but the amount of orders I've received exceeded my expectation and as making everything from scratch takes long time, I simply cannot fit any more.
I’m still happy to accept new orders for handbags but, as some of you already saw on my shop announcement all handbags ordered between now and Xmas will be shipped after Xmas.

I really enjoyed my time participating in Craft+Fair the Glucksman gallery in Cork this weekend. It was great to be able to meet so many talented crafts people.

Thank you to for organising such a brilliant event and to all who supported the event by buying locally made crafts.
Fingers crossed I will be able to attend next year!
