Glastonbury Medieval Fayre
I had a brilliant time at the Glastonbury Medieval Fayre over Easter weekend. I’ve made an album on Oshun’s Facebook page of all the pictures I took – some of my stall, some of the re-enactments going on and some of the stunning abbey taken after the crowds had gone home.

There’s a 20% off sale in the OshunCreations shop at the moment for everything over £10. Use the code ‘Ostara15’ at the checkout! Offer lasts till Monday.
Oshun in FAE Magazine
I’m so excited to tell you that Oshun Creations has been featured in FAE Magazine. This spring issue is in honour of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and they have included my blue Alice dress with the Edwardian apron modelled beautifully by my daughter, Rain.
The dress can be bought here.

New Year, new plans!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all have a magical and fun-filled 2015. I’ve been busy getting the accounts done for the year (yawn) and also planning which festivals to bring Oshun’s traveling boutique to (yay). My plans for the year are to begin with making some accessories and jewellery for the fairs and festivals; and then I’ve been designing a collection which I hope to bring to a selection of shops across the country. If I have time on top of that I’ll continue my experiments with natural printing and dyeing and make some wedding gowns using some of the antique fabric I’ve been collecting. Exciting and busy times ahead!

Writing again.
There aren’t going to be many (if any) new items added to the shop this month because I have signed up to National November Writing Month (otherwise known as NaNoWriMo). If you haven’t heard of it, the idea is to write the first draft of a 50,000 word novel in 30 days.
Several years ago I had a teenage novel published by Andersen Press (a subsidiary of Random House) called Be In The Place. They also said they were going to publish my next 2 novels, but when they changed their mind, that’s when I decided to focus on Oshun. However I came up with a plot idea over the summer and have been thinking about spending more time writing again. (I write short stories and poems with my village writers’ group too.) NaNoWriMo was the impetus to get on with it. So as Summer was busy with festivals and Autumn busy with Halloween costumes, now is a quiet time for Oshun anyway. I have lots of ideas for wedding dresses and clothing I can’t wait to get started on though, but probably not until after Christmas now. In the mean-time, keep a look out on Oshun’s facebook page as I’m going to be offering discount codes for flash sales over the next couple of months!
