Little Cotton Rabbits

a give-away

Well, the animals are now fully armed (though not dangerous in the least little bit) and they have their tails and buttons attached in the appropriate places too.

 

So to celebrate the start of my 7th year of blogging I'm going to give one of them away. To enter just leave a comment below. Any kind of comment will do but if you have time then I'd love to know what little things make you happy (as you probably already know, for me it's my knitting and a bit of peace and quiet). I'll draw a name at random next tuesday and then the rest will be up for sale (I'll email details to the mailing list and keep facebook up to date too).

I'm off now to start on some more animals. I'm feeling drawn to browns and reds and oranges at the moment - it must be the start of autumn which explains why I have a few hedgehogs on the go too. I've also been playing around with a few nordic ideas for my traditional christmas bunch, though I'm reluctant to start thinking too much about that time of year just yet. I also hope to catch up with emails and my blog reading. Things have been a little intense on the family front lately and I've fallen behind with a lot. Hopefully everything will be back to what we call normal soon.

Enjoy the rest of your week x

Giveaway time

I've been pretty disorganised this year and I missed my traditional giveaway to celebrate the start of my 6th year of blogging at the beginning of September. So instead I thought we'd have a little pre-Christmas giveaway and here is my giveaway bunny girl Ullie.

 

She's made from a yarn blended from alpaca and silk. Her dress has christmas trees around the hem and a little peter pan collar and she has a little stocking of her own. If you'd like to win her please just leave a comment below and I'll draw a winner at random on Sunday 4th December which should give me enough time to package her up and have her to the winner in time for Christmas morning.

As always, thank you so much for your interest in my work and for supporting our little family xxx

Thanks so very much to everyone who took the time to enter and leave such kind comments, I really appreciate them all xxx

giveaway time

At the beginning of September I started my 5th year of blogging and so I thought I'd celebrate with a little giveaway. To take part all you need to do is leave a comment below and I'll draw one winner on Wednesday October 6th. The winner can then choose one of my latest batch of animals to have as their own.

I'll be putting the rest up for sale at the end of next week (some on the blog and some on Etsy - I'll email my advance list with details so please let me know if you'd like to be added to the mailing list).

Thanks to everyone who visits here, especially to those of you who take the time to comment. I started blogging because I wanted to share a love of knitting with others and to be a part of a crafty minded community and I'm very lucky to have made some wonderful friends and have discovered lots of creative people. I'm hugely grateful too that I've met lots of wonderful people with personal experience of autism, it's been such a help to read of other people's experiences and to share some of ours.

Thanks for dropping by to my little corner of the internet, J x

Thanks so very much for all of the lovely comments, I've closed the draw now and will post later with a winner

a giveaway

Well, here I am starting my 4th year of blogging. When I first started I didn't really think I'd keep it up for so long. I've made some lovely friends and met lots of wonderful people with creativity, imagination and integrity, sadly I've also encountered quite a few people without any of those qualities - but today let's not dwell on the negative side of having a blog. Today, I'm thinking happy thoughts and I want to say a big thank you to all those who visit here with good intentions and leave kind messages which make me laugh, smile or just feel good about the world in general - I really appreciate your visits. Hopefully my giveaway will make someone nice happy too.

Gracie is made from pure Cashmere yarn with an organic cotton dress and tights, she has a little friend in her pocket for company. To be in with a chance of winning her simply leave me a message below about anything that makes you happy and I'll draw a winner with the random number generator thingy on Thursday 17th september.

:: Comments are now closed, thanks ::

I'm back from the school run and am closing off comments now, having a cup of tea, then drawing the winner, back soon!

a little giveaway to celebrate spring

I know that I always bang on about blossom at this time of year but plum blossom is the first indication that spring has arrived again in our little garden and that makes me very happy. Toby is an outdoorsy kind of boy and life in the warmer weather is more relaxed and fun for him, so I'm cheered by the lovely thought of all of those warm and sunny days to come with paddling pool splashing, bubble chasing, tea in the garden and a bit of knitting in the sun for me of course!

Anyway, with spring and Easter in mind I've finished off the egg cosy pattern.

It will be available in my etsy pattern shop before the end of the week but if you'd like to win a free copy of this pattern in advance then please leave a comment below and I'll draw 20 winners first thing on Thursday morning.

Sorry but comments are now closed, 9.25am,Thursday March 19th
