Well, the children are back home from their last day of school so our christmas break has just begun (and we even have a few inches of snow- very exciting!)
Here's wishing you a great Christmas / holiday season
see you in the new year x
...................................................................................................PS: a couple of people have asked about the mini stocking pattern - it's available on my free patterns page.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. Sue x

Happy Christmas Julie! Your pressies for the teachers were very impressive! And those stockings are gorgeous! I'm so glad the children have finished school - especially as I have also finished work for the whole 2 week hols! Yay!!!

Merry Christmas to you and all in the Little Cotton Rabbit household.
We've had a fair bit of snow, too: the rabbits have left bunny bum-prints across the back garden. Not so stealthy now!
Looking forward to reading your blog in 2010. Take care x

Thank you so much for your free patterns. I made 5 little stockings (4 as gifts and 1 for me!) and a cup-cake embellishment which I have sewn onto a t-shirt for my niece. They are really gorgeous and the patterns are easy to follow. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Happy Christmas Julie, I have knitted up 8 Hedgehog Pin Cushions as gifts for my family, ended up with about a dozen little Christmas Bears which looked great attached to the outside of cellophane wrapped star candle holders (a Sainsburys bargin @ 65p!) - I gave to special people I know who loved them and I even put the bears into your little knitted stockings which I attached to the ends of some festive ribbon to hang my Christmas Cards down - WOW!! - do I need a break? - oh,no I am so delighted with your lovely patterns that I am carrying on for an even bigger show next year!! - I am so looking forward to planning my next year on your gorgeous calender - Have a super New Year too - with love and many thanks for inspiring me so this year - Davina xx
