With Face painting,Music,bouncy castles and activities on the River Barrow it was a brilliant fun packed day for all the family.<br />
<br />
The weather was great and Carlow town never looked better!<br />
The event was a great success! Well organised by </strong><a href="http://www.carlowtourism.com/"><strong>Carlow Tourism </strong></a><strong>with ample free parking.<br />
I heard a rumor it may be a yearly event. I hope so it was a fabulous day and I was very proud to be part of it. </strong></div><br />

But Puppy ate my USB cable for my camera so I haven't been able to take any new pictures for here or my on-line shops :(<br />We made the mistake of not checking that the door from the utility room to the house had been closed properly when we went out to dinner.When we came back Puppy was sound asleep on the sofa with my cable chewed to bits on the floor. In fairness to him it could have been a lot worse!! He didn't poo or wee anywhere just ate my cable curled up in a ball, on the sofa, in front of the stove for a snooze (he's sooo cute).<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhazQ6DNDZ2AXiSkU8ne5mWPZubXuYdTm6hNiup6exVnCpzdgOtkf8ODyeD49weiDi3a1W71pq8s7vTOW-wZIqdd6dNW0sE8u_XS_z45NV_WcFQQ_nUMquJfMMM6UFTJ4vKEFB4daiXNQ/s1600/jasper7.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 319px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545455630338422146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhazQ6DNDZ2AXiSkU8ne5mWPZubXuYdTm6hNiup6exVnCpzdgOtkf8ODyeD49weiDi3a1W71pq8s7vTOW-wZIqdd6dNW0sE8u_XS_z45NV_WcFQQ_nUMquJfMMM6UFTJ4vKEFB4daiXNQ/s320/jasper7.jpg" /></a><br /><br /></span></strong><strong><span style="color:#3333ff;">Anyhooo it's been a busy busy month so far. My personalised plates have taken off and as I work in a Agri & Hardware supply store, I buy my plates there. My boss asked "what are you doing with all the plates"? so I explained and he asked me to bring some in to show him. I did...... and now my plates are on sale in my workplace!! I can't believe it!! I got 10 orders in the first few days!<br /><br />I just wish I could list them on the sites as the Christmas Clock is ticking!<br /><br />I also got a message through Etsy from Roisin of Roisins salon Kilkenny who I had supplied a small order to during the summer. She is opening a new store and wondered if I wanted to display my goods. OOOOooohhh yes please!<br />I went out to the new store which is in the Mc Donagh Shopping Centre Kilkenny and is Gorgeous!! I feel so proud and honored. I also got to see some of the other Irish Etsy sellers work up close, it was great!<br /><br />So we shall see how it goes but it has just exploded and gotten crazy overnight and I'm loving it!<br /><br />I have a cable ordered for my camera and I really want to get this blog going in the next few months. So please leave a comment if stop by you it means the world to me.<br /><br /><p></p></span></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ytPCG0LlS07v19zgvRiQbPjkoRruvXtygzF-mZHwHzIcRWElXmZveFuBSECouo19kvmPTfxu1sJEfFH7mQCkCm_ijctsLYmccAQM4JGMGc2uJsiaMF2msJ5DwPYyBsFg7sHX6se9Lg/s1600/jasper.jpg"><strong><span style="color:#3333ff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 253px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545452738826908402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ytPCG0LlS07v19zgvRiQbPjkoRruvXtygzF-mZHwHzIcRWElXmZveFuBSECouo19kvmPTfxu1sJEfFH7mQCkCm_ijctsLYmccAQM4JGMGc2uJsiaMF2msJ5DwPYyBsFg7sHX6se9Lg/s320/jasper.jpg" /> <br /><p align="center"></span></strong></a><strong><span style="color:#3333ff;"><br />How cute is he....<br />Happy Crafting Y'all :)</span></strong></p></div>spiralgoddesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10483433660328046680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14786003064586218.post-30188503061397243522010-10-17T15:44:00.000+01:002010-10-17T16:59:39.601+01:00Easy Peasy Chocolate Brownie Muffins</span>

<br />I had very little made so I worked through the night on Thursday, Friday and till late on Saturday (Thank God I was on holidays from work).Even though I knew my stall would be small I was excited and nervous, this would be my very first trade stand.

<br /><strong><span style="color:#993399;">Bagenalstown is on the river Barrow so what could be more fun than a Rubber Duck Race on the river. It was great watching all the children waiting for the little yellow ducks, hundreds of them, to come around the bend and when they did, to hear their squeals of delight! My pictures of this didn't come out as I could not battle through all the children to get a good shot :) </span></strong></p>
<br />
<br /><strong><span style="color:#993399;">But here some lovely pictures of the barge rides and other stalls at the Bagenalstown Festival.</span></strong>

<br /></strong><span style="color:#993399;"><strong>I love waking up to the sound of birds not the sound of rush hour, I love walking through fields not crowds of people, I love picking fruit from hedgerows not having my pocket picked lol :) just joking!
<br />I love driving my car not trying to stay in third gear . I love lighting the fire in the garden, playing guitar and singing at the top of my voice disturbing only the birds
