This week I've started making a new collection of Cloche Hats for my new stockist 'AMANO' in Bonn, Germany .....

I took advantage of some gorgeous Autumnal Sunshine to take a few photos of the ones I have made so far :)

Sacred Bat .... Flew to me,
From the darkness of the cave.
Womb-like reflections,
Answers it gave.

Birth, death, rebirth,
Cycles of the whole ...
Never-ending,
Just eclipsed,
The journey of the Soul.   

from the 'Medicine Cards'

Me and Pootle had our first attempts of BIKE SURFING today ..... as you can see, Pootle is a natural, but I think the bike driver really could do with a bit more practice .... her legs seem to have got a bit rusty!

My lovely inspirational friend Shirley has come to 'my' swimming pool POOLEEN this weekend with her fantabulous MOBILE SAUNA.

This is an experience not to be missed !!!! :))))

Some recent mountain meanderings ... watched over by the natives!

So the HAT/BIKE swap deals been done! Here's the lovely Des (on the left) ..... wearing his new Sannainspires Artisan Fedora :)

My very COOL new bike has been all over Cork County searching for its new tires which have finally been sourced ... thanks to some help from Michael Jackson's magician!!!!! (yep, you heard right ..... that's him on the left ..... my LiFe gets more and more fun and bizarre by the day!!!!)

I've always said that my hats are MAGIC .... well as you can see by the photo they now even have the ability to LEVITATE :)))))

Some VERY JUICY fabric combinations going on in my workshop at the moment!

What season is it again ???? Who Cares ..... :)
