My favourite piece for A/W 2010 is the Emperor Wrap, french navy in a cashmere/silk/lambswool with embroidered gold feathers. I feel like Napoleon when I wrap myself up in it!

Available from August.

I’m having a stand in the Summer Fair in Marlay House, Marley Park, Rathfarnham on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th of June. We’ll be right beside the gorgeous Marley Park Food Market which is also on that Saturday, why not drop by for a coffee and a browse?

Video from ‘The Irish Fashion Innovation Awards’ in Galway’s Raddison Hotel and organised by Galway Now magazine. I was thrilled to be nominated in The Fashion Designer of the Year category. It was a great opportunity to see some of my new work on the catwalk!

I was asked recently to post some info on a new project by Eilish Tuite of Limerick IT as part of Urban Knit Limerick which is supported by Vodafone.

‘What we want to do is cover an empty building in Limerick City with approximately 3,000 knitted patches, patches that have been knitted all over the country and sent to us by the community. The patches will be A4 in size and once 3,000 have been collected, they will be stitched together to create a blanket over the entire building. Limerick and Ireland is in some serious need of cheering up and this will do just the trick.

When the project has been completed, the blanket will be separated into smaller knitted blankets which will then be donated to the St. Vincents Community. The charity is very deserving and has helped a lot of people in Ireland, and that’s why this project will give something back to them.’

They have over 1000 patches collected but need loads more, so head over to UrbanKnitLimerick on Facebook to find out how to support them!

I will be showing my new collection at Showcase Ireland, 24th-27th January at the RDS, Dublin.

This crochet dress from the press photocall is just a sneak peak at what’s on offer!

The theme for the Crafts Council of Ireland’s Christmas retail initiative is “Imagined, Designed & Made with Passion in Ireland“. Shoppers will see the work of 300 Irish designers and makers promoted through an in-store point-of-sale campaign in over 30 locations. A dedicated website for the campaign www.buyirishcraft.com
