Happy World Sleep Day neighbours! Or is it? At Patney we believe a good night’s sleep is key to finding the energy to live your life to the fullest, so on World Sleep Day we're here to talk about snoring!

Anyone can be affected by snoring, at any time in their lives. Patney’s founder Frances Anderson has experienced first-hand the impact snoring can have on your energy levels, confidence and happiness.

Frances spent years searching for an effective way to control her snoring, to no avail. Fed up and exhausted, Frances set out on a journey to create her own solution. The Patney sleep positioner is the result of an intensive research, development and testing process.

Frances sought independent validation of the Patney sleep positioner through the University of Otago. The independent study proved the Patney sleep positioner is an effective way to control snoring.

No one should have to put up with snoring. Take a look at Patney and experience the benefits a good night’s sleep can bring. We offer a 30-day money back guarantee, so on World Sleep Day you can celebrate having had a great night's sleep!

Hello
I am hosting my First Stall at The forthcoming Taupo Markets on Easter Saturday the 31st March 2018. The Taupo Markets are located Redoubt Street and the time is from 10am to 2pm, a big thanks to Monika to whom I met and had a great chat with prior to becoming a Stall Holder at her Taupo Markets.
Inspired by the birth of our first grand daughter, and becoming a nana, wow that is inspiring in itself and the most very special thing. Having won Designer Clothing Awards in the past, our new, now 2 grand daughters have prompted me to once again delve back into producing Modern Knitwear for our two wee girls. The local neighborhood has also enjoyed many of my garments also. Itz what us Nanaz do.


I Craft, along with gifting, some very stunning Creative Knitwear in some very cheeky pieces for small people :) Take a look at my pictures below and come and see our Stall Display at The Taupo Markets. WE will have an appearance piece from Thomas The Tank Engine along with some very cheeky Alphabet Men, to name just a few of our custom pieces. If you would like to win samples of our designer rang;, simple; look us up on facebook and LIKE our Facebook page to go into our always ongoing draw.


MCK Mooz Creative Knitwear. WE have a page on our website dedicated to our monthly winners to date. I hope you can come visit us to see what we will have on display.


Thanks for reading and I hope to meet some of you and to showcase just some of my Designer Collection Pieces.


Best Regards
