A warm winter?
Got fed up with being cold all the time so have installed a Rayburn Supreme ready for the winter. Am hoping for a few radiators to go with it, but an extra sweater will do for now... |
Guess who?
This is what happened the day we went to Nottingham castle! |
Autumn
It's lovely but oh what a mess and do I need a new wheelbarrow? Actually, I got one for my birthday! |
Three little treasures
Ethan, Aidan and Alice. Oh what a lucky Mummy/Granny Dragon I am! |
Grannygranny Annie

Black Dragon in Paris
Black Dragon was among a small group of Welsh producers invited to sell their wares at the special St David's Day celebrations at Disneyland Paris! There was a special Merlin Show in the Fantasyland Park, Welsh musicians and dancers, dragon and daffodil face-painting...with red and green fireworks at the end of the day. Our new range of Cyfrin Specials sold well and a good time was had by all! |
It was my first birthday in the summer...
...and I got a new train! |
Big boy
How my grandson grows....he'd like to play for Wales and has just cut his first tooth! Goo goo |
An impassioned acceptance speech?
Actually, I just wanted to say how happy I was... |
Another Award?
At another fabulous Gala Dinner in llanelli, we were acclaimed as Carmarthenshire's eCommerce Business of the year! What an accolade! And what a yummy dinner! We are so proud to have had our efforts recognised and would like to thank everyone who has helped us along our merry way! Yippee! |
A car park?
Once there was an old wooden workshop, then there was a sea of mud......and now there's a lovely car park! Yippee! |

Spring is here and we've won an award!
Last night, at a grand Gala Dinner in Llanelli, Black Dragon Crafts was honoured to become Carmarthenshires "Exporter of the Year"! We were presented with a crystal trophy made by Welsh Royal Crystal and a framed certificate. It was a wonderful night (and an excellent dinner, yum yum) My acceptance speech was short and sweet.....the only word I managed to utter through my surprise and excitement was "Thanks". I meant it for my wonderful staff, family, friends, suppliers, customers and the organisers. What an honour! |
It's lovely inside as well!
It's still a bit of a building site outside but it's a beautiful space inside and a joy to work in! |
New workshop!
Hey, after so many years of leaks and losses, the new workshop is finished and we have moved in! As you can see, we had resorted to a blue raincoat to keep us dry and now we can't believe how light and airy the new space is......and how much rubbish we had accumulated. Oh what a bonfire I've had! See also our new guardian - a magnificent dragon sculpture to watch over us..... Normal service is now being resumed! |
