These beauties were created in Dun na Sí, Moate, last weekend. Willow, bark, leather and wood. And lots of nerdy basketry chats.

Waterford City & County Dog Pound is almost completely full. Lots of lovely dogs in there looking for their forever homes. If you are looking to adopt please consider one of the lovely pound dogs in Waterford. Any rescues that could help would also be gratefully appreciated. Please contact the pound directly with any offers. Just some (but not all) of the dogs in the pound right now are pictured below. Please share far in wide so some of these guys can find their forever home.

The 2023 Molly…my favourite so far…ended up in Kilmore Quay! Missing a few bits 😉 so must have been bobbing along for some time. Caused a bit of curiosity and mystery locally but all was revealed by another basket maker, Trish .willow who knew the story.

Really enjoyed facilitating this platter workshop in Abbeyleix for the Abbeyleix Bog Project 25 year celebration. My mother is from Abbeyleix (the McEvoy clan) so it’s a special place for our family.
