Update
My new knee has been successfully fitted and I am starting the long and steady recovery.
Having talked with the relevant medical professionals, I have taken the decision to cancel all my events for the rest of the year.
I was hoping to be able to do a couple, but it became obvious that to get the best long term outcome I need to take things very gently and not do too much too soon.
By cancelling the events I have taken any temptation away to do the "I'm sure that will be OK to do" things that could mess the recovery up.
On the positive side I am already booking next years events, including Weird and Wonderful Wood on 9th and 10th May 26.

Important Announcement
I am sorry to say that I have needed to cancel a few of my events for the next few weeks.
I am, after a long wait, being fitted with a new knee!
It does mean that I will be unable to drive, lift or stand at the work bench for a quite a few weeks.
The events that I was going to be attending are still very much running, so please do still visit them to see all the other crafters and makers work.
There are a couple of events that I am not yet sure about, I am keeping them in my calendar for the moment, in the hope that with some family help I will still be there.

My attendance at the Clare Priory Craft Fair has now been confirmed.
The event has the atmosphere of an old fashioned village fete. Enclosed in the higgledy-piggledy Priory gardens the mix of stalls have something for everyone. The addition of tea, coffee, cake and a bar give a good reason to take your time and mull over what to buy.
With my first event of the year quickly getting closer I am spending more time in the workshop working on new interesting stock. Take a look of some of it on my Instagram.

My 2025 dates at the lovely Dalegate Market pop up shops have been confirmed.
Out of town shopping on the North Norfolk coast, where you can by direct from the artists and makers and find out the inspiration behind the objects.
The Norfolk Creations exhibitions that I am part of this year have been added.
Norfolk Creations is an award winning group of Norfolk based artists, makers and creators who come together to put on amazing displays of their work. Covering everything from watercolours to woodcraft, via photography, pottery, jewellery and much much more. There are different participants at each exhibition, so there is always something new to see.
The two Holkham Hall Garden and Outdoor Living Fairs have been confirmed.
These take place in the very impressive walled garden of the hall, with their displays of plants and flowers as well as historic glass houses.
Hopefully Clare Priory and the Festive Fair in the Forum will soon be added to the list.

Thanks to all the wonderful event organisers and customers, 2024 was a very enjoyable year.
I hope that 2025 will be too!
I am starting to book my 2025 events.
They are listed on the "where to buy" page.
A few have already been confirmed, the rest will follow soon.
Please put the weekend of 10th & 11th May in your diaries as I will be at the fabulous Weird and Wonderful Wood.
It is an amazing day out for all the family, story telling, kids activities, street entertainers and marvellous music.
Yes you have to pay to go in, but all the entertainment and music is free, as are the "spontaneous happenings"!
