A Little Winter Magic Awaits in the Cottage…

As the season begins to sparkle, there’s something deeply restorative about stepping away from the rush and returning to the simple pleasure of making with your own two hands. This year, I’m opening the cottage in rural Roscommon for a series of cosy pre-Christmas workshops—an invitation to slow down, breathe, and create something truly meaningful.

Picture this: a crackling log fire, soft Christmas music humming in the background, endless cups of tea and coffee, plates of sweet treats within easy reach… and you, crafting beautiful decorations you’ll cherish for years to come. It’s time set aside just for you—an investment in your creativity, your calm, and your joy.

These workshops are intentionally small and sell out quickly, and I’d love you to have first pick of dates before they’re gone. If you feel the pull to escape the hustle and return to tradition, now is the perfect moment to reserve your place.

Let’s make this Christmas beautiful—together.

Make an Heirloom Angel

This is a rare opportunity to work with exclusive vintage textiles that are available in only the smallest quantities. Once they’re gone, they’re gone—making your finished angel a genuine one-off piece you’ll cherish for a lifetime and proudly bring out each Christmas.

The day itself is designed to feel special from start to finish: a gentle escape into tradition, surrounded by cosy comforts, soft festive music, warm drinks, and sweet treats as you sew. You’ll leave with not only a beautiful handmade angel, but also the quiet joy that comes from investing in your creativity.

Places are limited, and with materials this rare, they won’t be offered again.  Pack up your sewing machine (or feel free to use mine) and join me for a magical day of making.
