Blarney in Bloom

So a few months back as part of being more motivated and productive I joined the Cork Textile Network! This Saturday we set up a Arts and Craft area at Blarney in Bloom in Blarney Castle in aid of Irish Guide Dogs!

 

With some help from kids we made pompoms, pompom men, bracelets, magic eyes, dream catchers and paper beads!!!

These are my pompom man!!!

With a bit of help Liz Spillane felted some wool and knit a wall handing for the Irish Guide Dogs to raffle

It was a great day despite the drizzly weather! Sheltering under a leaf!

We also set up some instillations.

 

Like this fungus garden…

 

These pompom tunnels...

And this web…

 

And these beautiful tree cosies...

There was a Mad Hatters Tea Party made by a local primary school!

A guide dog even came to help us!!!

 

All in all it was an amazing day with gardening talks, garden stalls, craft stalls and food stalls!!

Thanks you to everyone who made this day possible and supporting the Irish Guide dogs!!!
