Cattapilla Dreaming

Blue Check Reversible Shopping Bag

A very busy week in London at the Country Living Christmas Fair.  Great to meet so many customers, both old and new, and to have a look around to see what everyone else is up to.  Dedicated shoppers were out in force and even the fire alarm couldn’t stop the buying!   Sold masses of things so am busy making and photographing new stock to get onto the website in plenty of time for Christmas.  Checkout the bright new Shopping Bags and prettily practical Wrist Key Fobs on www.cattapilladesigns.com

London was, well, London.  Busy, noisy, buzzy and fast.  We ate  fantastic food and enjoyed London pubs, although the constant loud music and screens are hard to cope with after a long day.  Guess we’re getting old!!  We caught up with lots of people and briefly envied Londoners’ their vast choice of shops!

Collected  Horace the dog  from his kennel in Bandon, run by the kindest dog lover I know, and arrived home to wind and rain, a waterlogged garden and two plump cats, well fed by our cat loving neighbours with supplements from the local rodent population!  Hercules is looking particularly round – perhaps he’s found a new baker!

Have been longing to get outside to walk and garden but the weather is atrocious  -  strong winds and constant rain.  At least the wind turbine is spinning, supplying us with plenty of power.  I really ought to use the opportunity and do some hoovering but I just can’t quite work up the energy or enthusiasm!  I think I’ll stick  to making Gorgeous Wool Bags!
