Welcome to Pumpkin Lodge Crafts

Wrap yourself in the warmth and enchantment of my 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗵𝗿í𝗱𝗲 blanket. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗻𝗼𝘄!⁣ ⁣ Inspired by the 𝘎𝘰𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘥, this beautifully crafted blanket combines timeless elegance and comfort.⁣ ⁣ When Brigid met the King of Leinster to ask for land, she told him that she only needed the amount her cloak would cover. The king agreed. As Brigid placed her cloak on the ground it expanded covering the beautiful green land. This blanket represents the rich green grass covered by her cloak.⁣ ⁣ This blanket pays homage to Brigid and symbolises protection, hope and the nurturing spirit of the Goddess herself. It is handmade with a combination of green shades and is edged with a boarder.⁣ ⁣ A 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗵𝗿í𝗱𝗲 is a piece of cloth that is traditionally left outside on the eve of St. Brigid’s Day. It is said that Brigid blesses the cloth with healing and protective powers. It is then used for healing purposes throughout the year. ⁣ ⁣ This is 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 as I have only made one and cannot make more as the wool is no longer available. #brigid #celticgoddess #madeinireland #irishcrafts bratbhríde

Did you know that 10% of the income from my books is donated to @mylovelypigrescue and @mylovelyhorserescue ? At the end of last year I used the money to adopt two gorgeous pigs, Legend and Tiny Tim. You can adopt a pig starting at €30. What a gorgeous gift for yourself, a birthday or special occasion. You can even get a personalised video from your adopted pig. The work done by these rescues is incredible; they save lives every day. Please donate or adopt a pig. Ps I’m wearing my handmade Banshee cardigan. #mylovelyhorse #mylovelypig #rescueanimals #irishwriter #smallirishbusiness

Embrace the beauty of slow fashion with my handmade hug shrug cardigans. My cardigans are made with a blend of chunky stitches and edged with a border on the main body and sleeves. It can by styled a number of ways as a jumper can fit under the sleeves on chillier days but can also be worn in warmer weather too. Whatever way you choose to style it, my cardigan will feel like a hug. #irishcrafts #buyirish #madeinireland #smallirishbusiness #veganbusiness
