I’m so excited!!

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)

I’ve always thought of myself as good at keeping secrets but there is something I’ve been sitting on since the end of last year and I can’t keep it a secret any longer or I’m going to burst!

Since starting this blog I’ve been overwhelmed at the response to my little knitted toys and I’m completely thrilled that they are popular because it means that I can continue doing what I love and what soothes my soul rather than going back to work in an office (which did not soothe my soul one iota!) Anyway, shall I get to the point?

Little cotton rabbits are becoming stamps!! The talented team at Sugar Nellie are in the process of creating a set and you can get a sneaky preview here of Dexter and Winifred.

Stamps

Sugar Nellie’s blog will keep you up to date on the range (and their other exclusive stamps) and hopefully a little later this month they’ll be available to buy.

It’s very exciting to think of the little cotton rabbits popping up on cards and scrapbooks – I can’t wait to see what people create with them!

  2. Hi
    What fab news, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I read you had some exciting news, I thought you were going to say you were selling more rabbits or had allowed a pattern book to be made.
    I only came across your site by chance and now I am popping by all the time.
    I found Etsy just recently and I also bought a tote bag so squealed again when saw you had one too.
    You are an inspiration. xxxxx

  4. GREAT NEWS!
    I will be first in line to get the stamp set…what better way to combine 2 of my favs…LCR and Scrapbooking!
    Based on your talents you will NEVER need to step foot in an office again…well maybe to sign a really big contract when LCR goes to Hollywood…maybe Disney?

  7. Woohoo! Congratulations — they’re really cute — in a 2-d sort of way, of course, ’cause nothing’s as cute as the real thing! And in the interest of sounding like a broken record….Now, if we can only get that pattern book in the works LOL! You’re an amazing inspiration!!!
