Morning all,
We will be doing a pop up on the Erewash Canal in Sandiacre near this lock cottage on Sunday for father's day.

The cottage is open to visitors for tea and cake for a special day. They also have a lovely quaint little museum to look around.

Pop down and say hello if you're in the area.

We will be trading:-
Times:- 10am till 3pm.
Location:- ///enhancement.bleat.bucked

Parking is available on Austins Drive, Sandiacre near the A52 Bridge, don't come down towards the cottage as there is no space.

Have you got Father’s Day sorted? 💙
Treat Dad to a day by the canal at Sandiacre Lock Cottages.
Come and explore, enjoy refreshments and celebrate the Erewash Canal we all love. 🌿

It is long overdue that we had some new rear door panels, its over 3 years since we bought Wolf Moon.

We finally decided on a continuous theme.
Its taken me ages to design and paint these doors but now they are all finished and in pride of place.

The left door is in memory of our first dog, an English Pointer named Billy. The Crow Moon, the symbol of his birth month.

The right door is for our second dog, a Bracco Italiano named Silvie. The Hunters Moon, the symbol of her month.

I'm so pleased they're now up and how they came out.

Hope you like them too.
I'm happy to hand paint any boat door panels to suit your size and design. Let me know if you do.

Enjoy your weekend wherever you are 😎

Display board for the Sacred Sticks, is now up and well nearly finished. Looking so much better than stuffed on a shelf....

Willington will be our second floating market of the year.
Hopefully we have stock left to sell after the Burton-upon-Trent market 😂.
Come along and check it out and say hello.

We have a nice selection of stuff to sell:-
> Traditional canal art items, Game zone signs, Vintage Painted saws, Sign boards, Sacred Sticks for sale.

All of the items are handmade and hand painted onboard our narrowboat Wolf Moon.
We try to use heritage crafts like Signwriting, canal art and whittling in all we do.

There isn't just us here, there will be a nice selection of food boats to selling cakes, sandwiches, beer etc. and all different craft boats selling their wares.

Charlie has served the crew aboard NB Wolf Moon for the last few years.
He likes all the attention he gets from the passers by, he recently lost a leg in the storms but time to move on. He feels Davy Jones locker calling him.

However there is a new crew member joining us soon from The architectural salvage shop.
They have some amazing items for sale at their shop in ilkeston. Check them out 😍. I bought some other items too which will soon be upcycled.

Let's hope he enjoy his new adventures with us 😎
Keep watching this space. 😉

Afternoon guys,
I have had a change over the last few weeks and had a break from doing canal art

I've been planning and painting some new signs for our up and coming Floating Markets in May.
Designing the signs, picking the letters and chosing the colours can be a little awkward.
So many styles to choose from.

These 2 are my latest ones, hope you like them.
The 11mm plywood panels were undercoated and painted in intense black as a background.
I love the graffiti and script styles so I tried them out.

The 'Stay Weird' sign has already been claimed by my biggest fan, my sister. 🤩

Keep an eye out for some new signs coming your way soon. 😎
