Saturday 3rd December, I'll be in @art_jam_ireland Caherciveen. Come and join me for a reading and colouring session of Miss Polly and the Crocodile - this is free but please book a place.🎄
Then you can treat yourself or get your Secret Santa sorted at my little shop that I'll have set up.🎄
There will be a jewellery making class st 6.30 - this will be great fun, you'll go home with a necklace and earrings. The cost is €35 and you can bring your own bottle of wine to make it more festive!!
Contact Deirdre to book. 🎄🎄🎄🎄

Hello hedgehog 🦔❤
I'm working on a set of Christmas cards ( sorry to mention it before Halloween! 🎃)
I think this little fellow will be involved, and possibly some other woodland friends.....

Thank you to Michaela from 4th class St. John's N.S. in Kenmare.
This is going on my studio wall, it makes me smile every time I see it!
📕 One year ago today I got to see my book for the first time.📕
It has been a great year!
I have had the pleasure of reading to lots of children in the libraries, I've been in the newspaper and @alisontodayfm put my book into her 'Little Reader' goody bags.
Lots of copies have sold, its had lovely reviews and it even won a Next Generation Indie Book Award!! @indiebookawards 🏅
❤ thank you to everyone who has bought a copy (or two), I really appreciate the support.
❤thank you to Steve Lane and everyone at @childs.eye.lp
Being able to say I'm a published author still makes me grin from ear to ear!!
Happy birthday Miss Polly and the Crocodile!! 🎂❤🥰
Thank you Ms. Dwyer for bringing 4th class from St. John's N.S. and thank you Breda for such a warm welcome in Kenmare library today.
They were such a fabulous audience with very interesting questions!

Next month I will be reading at four libraries in Kerry as part of the 'Children's Book Festival'...
There are loads of authors involved, I will be in Killarney, Kenmare, Killorglin and Caherciveen.
I thought it would be nice to have a colouring page to give out, so that's what I'm doing today.....
I have the best job! ❤
These may be my favourite thing I've ever made....
🍁Autumn Stickers🍁

Making card orders for shops looks a lot like this..... ( this is the tidied up photo!😁)
You can find all my cards in my shop, link in bio.
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you to everyone who came to the book reading today. I hope you enjoyed Miss Polly and the Crocodile 😊🐊📕
Thank you to @kenmareartsfestival for inviting me and @kenmare.ie for taking the photo!
Virg, your @onthevergeonline kimono was much admired!!

For all the people who have asked for a gender neutral baby card, here you are!
Pink for girls and blue for boys isn't everyone's choice - personally I think a baby is something to celebrate in any colour you like, pink, blue, black, white, rainbows with spots on.....
A joy in any colour! ❤💗🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
🏅Yep, that's a gold medal from @indiebookawards for Miss Polly and the Crocodile!
Thank you @childs.eye.lp
I'm chuffed to bits with all the fuss.
I will wear it today while I write more of the next book. 😉📕🥳

This came up as a memory today from 3 years ago.....
Miss Boo Bear is still 'helping'!
🐶❤🐶❤🐶
🦋 Say hello to Lily! 🦋
Thank you @sarahdoesdesign_ for naming her.
She started off with blonde hair (scroll across to see that) but just felt more like a red head.
Her sentiment simply says, "Hello Beautiful!" She is talking to you! Every time you look at her you will reminded that you are a beautiful soul. ❤
Available now as a limited edition print. Choose from framed or mounted, or maybe you'd like to send her ad a greetings card?
