Today has been a very exciting day for several reasons. Firstly, Little Owl and I went to see Hairy Maclary as part of the Edinburgh Festival. The actors had us all joining in. “Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay!” we shouted. It was so good. They also did my favourite Hairy Maclary story; the one about Zachary Quack. Oh, I loved it! Admittedly Little Owl had her hands over her ears most of the time but I think that was more because of me than the show. I think I might be shaping up to be one of those embarrassing mums.
Secondly, I went and collected my sheep book from the printers…and here it is! You can get your copy from my online shop. For those of you who have pre-ordered, your copies will soon be winging their way to you. There are sheep greetings cards and postcards featuring illustrations from the book. I have also got pin badges showing the ‘sheep’ logo from the book and a close up of some Texel sheep fleece. All these items will also be for sale on my stall at FibreFest in two weeks.
I am very jealous! I read Hairy Maclary as a little girl and now i’m reading them to Ruari! Sounds fantastic!
