Make it Unique By Helen

We are full 2/8 until 8/8 as we have 2 groups coming to stay. Some families met here this season and are now friends and are returning as a group, plus another group who so wanted to visits but missed dog week- so that’s dog week done.

So excited as a full week this early in the season for camping is an achievement for us, camping can be last minute- or booked in advance and making the most of it.

We have covered areas and with wellies and waterproofs and the best company ever- it can be a blast.

Thanks all for your continued support ;-)

I’ve missed running craft workshops and now I work in a library we have a make do and mend afternoon.

The box is always available for people to enjoy.

I was given some folder hangers for drawers and wondered what I’d do with them, then today I was like trees……waste not want not and 2’trees from each one- kids had fun!

A puppet stage from an old box and old bag, and again more fun had for little people alike.

I love making new items from old and seeing smiles along the way. The lovely glitter company faces gave us the glitter 😉 diolch

From City Life to Rural Bliss: The Story of Frowen Fields Eco Glamping

For many, escaping the city and living off the land is just a dream. But Helen Bantock and her family made it their reality when they moved from Reading to the beautiful countryside of Carmarthenshire, West Wales, during the Covid pandemic.

Now, they own and run Frowen Fields Eco Glamping & Camping, a 28-acre retreat where guests can reconnect with nature. From feeding alpacas, goats, and pigs to offering eco-friendly glamping stays in a stunning TruDomes dome, every day is an adventure.

Their mission? To promote sustainable tourism and provide a peaceful, tech-free escape for families. One guest said, “Not once did my kids ask for their phones. It was amazing to see them just enjoy the outdoors!”

Running a glamping business isn’t without its challenges, but for Helen and Ashley, the reward is waking up to breathtaking views and sharing their passion for nature with others.

Sketching is on my mind, a crafty friend is soon to be moving to pastures new. I’ll miss her dearly and this little fella reminds me of her so much.

I hope she likes it, and her new home….its also given me some time today to do what I like best, craft and create and for a friend so it’s a gift made with love.

What have you made for someone - or could you make- anything hand made is a real gift to be treasured - even if it’s hung in the loo!

Treasure friends and all they mean.

I’ve created it on brown paper as it’s from my boots wrapped in this 2 years ago, she loves shoes so has meaning, and nostalgia all in one x x

Been a while since I posted, and what better time than when I’ve had my craft on!

Updating signs that have got tired this season, with a fresh lick of paint and new design.

Fairy photo wall is also coming along nicely for some great shots for next years guests, fairy forest will get a make over and more fun in store for our 5th season Frowen Fields Eco Glamping & Camping

Arts and crafts are still a big part of life here, I do miss my workshops but you never know I may manage some in 2025!
