Silly may be the smallest but he is the smartest for sure.
Will my little Beauty sleep soundly once more?
Beauty loves her sleep. However, when nap time turns into her worst nightmare, she goes to great lengths to get safe, snug and become a happy sleeping Beauty once more!
Ciara Winkelmann Creates
There are many famous illustrated dogs in children’s literature, from Lassie to Hairy McClairy, Spot and Snoopy to name just a few. Many of these exceptional creatures inspired Ciara Winkelmann to create, not just one character canine but a whole new breed! Fabadoodles are pretty patterned pooches that experience life through their everyday adventures and make extraordinary friendships along the way.
What the World needs now…
…long walks, chewy toys, tummy rubs, home comings, blankies, smells, friends, swims, sofas, sleeps…
Stake our Domain
When it comes to securing ones patch on the World Wide Web it’s important to own your domain. For this reason alone CIARA WINKELMANN ILLUSTRATIONS has dropped an ‘r’ and added the ‘doggies’ to give her pretty patterned pooches their very own space.

Mascot Aran
Aran is my most traditional Irish fabadoodle to date. The history of the Aran Sweater goes back a long way in our culture with great meaning given to the stitches that go into creating the individual Clan jumpers. Aran’s coat reflects the Honeycomb stitch for Luck and Prosperity and the Cable for Friendship and Love. She is dedicated to my special Book Club Ladies who keep me centred on all things literary.
