Easter bunnies and foxes and monkeys…

Back again, feeling all weepy (in a good way) after seeing Amy's school assembly with the children showing their paintings and saying what's best about their mums. Anyway, March has whizzed by with not enough knitting time for my liking but I am almost finished on a batch of animals.

Easterbunnies
I know I'm cutting it a bit fine to get them all rehomed in time for Easter but hopefully they'll be ready to travel to new homes next week and I'll email the mailing list with details soon. If you'd like your email address to be added please just leave a comment below.

Happy Mother's day on Sunday to all mummies out there x

  10. I suppose that I have to say – there’s just not enough of you to go around. So many hopefuls. And so many kind and apt things said. Remember, will you, to put Rachel on the list, too. The babies are a breath of spring. We’re getting that today – a moment’s respite in the build up of snow on the mountains. I am hoping that bunches melt off today before the storm on Sunday. But I hope the sun os soft and warm on your garden today, and that everything is quiet.

  11. What a gorgeous basket of Easter goodies, that little white bunny is adorable! 🙂
    So glad you had a lovely assembley with Amy!
    Re your previous post I hope things speed up for you so that poor Toby and yourselves can get the help you need and deserve. The slowness of the whole thing must be terribly frustrating for you all.
    I hope you too have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

  41. Please add me to your list. Have admired your work since I found a year ago.
    Also very interested in reading about Toby and how you all cope. My brother has a fairly newly diagnosed autistic grandson. He is able to help and be involved but so hard for family. Luckily lots of local support with new strategies etc. Also a one to one helper so many hours a week for respite. Realise very lucky with support but early days. Lack of sleep difficult for them. He fairly calm most of time except when too many people around and very little verbal communication his mum finds hard. He is also adorable and so loved. Hard times ahead though.
    PS Love your animals. Made some easter eggs from your pattern. Thanks for all your crafting inspiration.
