a give-away

Julie

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.

 

Drawers

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

  3. The things that make me happy are my dog and cats, a walk on the beach, the smell of babies, having dinner on a Friday with my husband, sunshine, my little container garden and sewing!

  5. Being a fellow mum of a boy with autism my sewing, a group of friends round my table for coffee and a cup of tea with a couple of biscuits prior to school pick up make me, but most of all my lovely boy and husband make me happy.

  6. I love your bunnies and would to love to be entered in your draw. Thank you
    The things that make me happy are my lovely son Rowan (the name inspired a little by the yarn!) and my 7 real life bunnies that hop around my house and garden. They never fail to raise a smile with their silly expressions and different personalities….and food, food always makes me happy!

  8. Happy Blogerversary !!!!! I just adore your sweet, knitted animals. Sunday afternoons, sat crocheting, watching films with my daughter, makes me happy. Deb x

  9. I just discovered your blog, I am amazed by so much talent and beauty
    I understand that knitting brings you peace and serenity
    it is the same for me
    Your little creatures are adorable I try my luck to win ( thank you 😉 but also for you to buy one later, thank you 😉
    I hope that one of them will cross the sea to join me soon in Normandy
    beautiful day

  10. My children make me happy – they bring light into my life.
    Also a full pot of tea, in a proper teapot, on a tray, in front of the TV while I settle down with my knitting. Need more squidgy socks for winter.
    Wishing you all the best Julie xxx

  11. Beautiful, beautiful bunnies (and foxes, and mice and elephants…)
    What makes me happy? Hiking in the countryside with my hubby and kids. The best!

  12. Yippee! A drawing!:-) I too love to read and knit. I can only knit a long strand,;) but it is very Relaxing to me!! I love gardening as well.. The cold has hit Alaska, it’s time to start prepping for winter. I so enjoy the short summer months with lots of flowers and veggie!:-)
    Debbie

  15. I’ve been following your creative work for many years now after first seeing your rabbits in a craft magazine. I love seeing other crafters creations. Of an evening I will be either knitting, crocheting or paper piecing in front of the TV. Ooh, Chocolate makes me very happy!
    I’ve been struggling with shoulder pain these past few months so I haven’t been able to to much spinning. But when I manage I do find it quite meditative and sometimes 20 minutes will pass before I realise it. My 15 yr old makes me very happy – she is turning out to be a lovely young lady and I’m very proud of her hard work and dedication at school. If only she enjoyed crafting as much as I do, now that would make me very happy. Happy crafting! 😀

  16. Yes!I would love to win such a gorgeous little bunny. Your taste is impeccable. Wish I had your sense of colour. I love to crochet and knit, to read and watch good movies. And it makes me happy to work in my small garden. I still have some carrots left. The smell like childhood.

  17. I just love your creations! I so wish you had a knitting book with your creations to knit for my children

  18. Congratulations on you blog’s anniversary!
    Some of the things that make me happy include reading, knitting, embroidery, sunlight and seeing your stuffed animals.

  19. ……..Toast and marmalade, a cup of tea and a good book make me happy………and if only I could knit animails like these I would be very happy (as would my daughter)………

  20. Happy anniversary!!
    Gardening makes me happy. So do my daughters and my pets.
    And the sweet faces on all your animals make me happy!

  22. It’s make me happy, when i have enough time to make creative things to friends. Nowadays i love crocheting and knitting.

  23. What a lovely selection of animals. I don’t know how you let go of them! I am really loving your blog banner, those flooers mittens are just fab. I am also loving my two little baby girls who give me so much joy (and so much pain)!

  25. I love your rabbits the best.
    What inspires me is sunshine, my girls playing and laughing, running, cycling, knitting and crochet and my lovely husband who is always so grounded
    Thanks for blogging x

  26. Knitting, a good book, a warm bath, posh chocolate, a bike ride, a mug of redbush tea…not all at the same time, obvs.

  27. Thank you very much to allow us to have a chance to win one of your wonderful creation.
    I’m happy with a hug from my children, a sun square on my bed to put my feet in, a good book, a message from an old friend, a letter in my mailbox, finding something old and cheap on a “vide-grenier” (kind of yard sale in France), sharing the evening with my husband when my children are in bed (with a tea, a square of chocolate and a good movie), hot chocolate and big socks when it’s winter time, succeeding in creating something (I’m a beginer at crochet, knitting and sewing)… It’s good to remember that there are a lot of little pleasures in life !

  28. Whenever you make a blog post, it makes me smile. I have a slide show of your “animals” as my screen saver…Some are whole, some are body parts. All have very expressive faces. You should be very proud of the work that you do.

  29. Congratulations on 7 years of blogging!
    Small things that make me happy? Crocheting while listening to an audiobook, my house rabbits, clean white bed linen and a cup of coffee and a macaroon. Oh dear, what a strange list!
    Your animals are just gorgeous 🙂

  30. Love your knitted animals,you are a very talented lady Julie,the things that make me happy are my grandchildren,doing my crafts to sell at fairs,and giving things to other people to make them happy
    Doesn’t have o be material things,spending some time with someone to brighten up they day! X

  31. what makes me happy…my (nearly) 8 month old daughter, collecting fabrics and knowing that summer is almost here (in Australia) 🙂

  33. lovely, lovely wee animals. I feel happy when I spend time … with my Husband and Daughter, walking, with a good book, baking and just pottering at home and in my garden. Congrats on your blog anniversary.

  35. They all look so sweet. Things that make me happy are my children. And I love making things blankets, clothes, toys especially for my children so I also love collecting fabric.

  37. Wow Julie! 7 years is a big achievement. The things that make me happy are, knitting, hooking,reading and my family. Your newest batch of little animals are gorgeous as always :O)xx

  38. Sitting in the evenings when the house is tidy and the kids are in bed quilting or knitting without any distractions.

  39. What makes me happy? Pretty pictures, sweet foxes, cupcakes, friends and cuddles with my puppy, my kids on good days, lol, and making gifts for friends and family that mean more because they’re specially made for them.
    Oh, and seeing all of your lovely creations lined up in the chest of drawers, like they’re just bursting to have some fun!

  41. Oh they are all so gorgeous!! I remember my brother now 59 who had a fox just like the one you
    have made so cute!! ☺☺♥♥ You are such a lovely clever lady.
    take care
    wendy

  42. Love it Julie!in the draw great idea for a photo.. i love slepping, millinery, rainy days when you are knitting in the sofa.. old movies… and lot of things….

  43. what a beauty’s you have made, I can’t believe how many and how great they look. I love to knit, but I looove to cross stitch too, that’s my first love. Quilting and crocheting is good too :-). It relaxes me always.
    I know what you mean by ‘intens’, good luck with your family. It is hard work.

  44. I’m new to your blog but I remember finding your little knitted creations on Ravelry over a year ago. I thought they were wonderful then and even better now. After wandering around your blog, I realize that you have an artist’s eye for photography also.
    Happiness and satisfaction are twin sisters for me. I’m happy when I am sewing a quilt, learning a new technique, solving a genealogy puzzle, finding a box of really old family photos on closet shelf, discovering that I’m going to be a grandma, an after dinner car ride in the country with my husband. Happiness for me comes in moments.

  45. I have a balance problem so knitting is very useful for me and helps relaxation. I have followed your blog for years, it is truly an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

  48. For me it’s crocheting and a bit of peace and quiet :).
    I’m leaning towards purple, orange and brown at the moment, I don’t know if it has anything to do with the approaching fall, but I feel like those are the colours I want to work with as soon as possible.
    Your creations are so very adorable, inspiring and varied, it’s always nice to see what you’ve knitted :). So happy I found your blog!
    Keep calm and knit on(e)!

  50. Oohhh they are so beautiful! What makes me happy? My job, being a midwife rocks, crocheting, knowing I’m going to be meeting my new baby girl any day now oh and snuggling the little bit just below the ears of my gorgeous sons, despite the fact that they think they’re too big for it!

  51. I love to stitch and create things with fabric. I wish I could knit but this talent seems to have escaped me thats why I love, love, love your work. I started my own very small business working from home in February called The Wicked Stitch of Coventry and I love it. It helped me get through post natal depression after having my beautiful daughter Phoebe at the grand old age of 41. I already had a 16 year old daughter Chloe and had been trying for another baby for 15 years. Stitching helped me through the bad times and now I have 2 wonderful daughters & a great husband. Life’s good! xxx

  52. The thought of my evening tonight is making me happy 🙂
    My knitting, glass of wine and ‘Good Cop’ on tv, and knowing that when we wake up in the morning my little family and I are off to Lyme Regis for the day 🙂 :-):-)
    Love your blog and your animals. You’re a very talented lady x

  53. I just love seeing your latest batch 🙂 Family get togethers, a good book, sunshine and finding somehting new in my family history all make me happy

  54. Happiness is four children asleep in bed. ❤ And, coming here to find you have more little friend’s ready to go.

  55. Beautiful beautiful animals as ever! Seeing my boys poke about in the mud and feed the worms makes me more happy than is probably normal, and I got an insane amount of pleasure out of turning a shrunken pair of woollen trousers into mittens the other day.
    Thanks for the blogging – I’ve been reading for about five years and you are an inspiration.

  56. Enhorabuena por sus animales.
    Este descubrimeinto de su trabajo es una de las cosas que me hacen felíz, verlo transmite felicidad. Los zorros, los manchados y oscuritos son mis favoritos, pero son todos preciosos. La ropa que llevan es tan bonita como los animales y me gustaría poder tener alguno para mis hijas, a las que les encantan los peluches y animalitos del bosque.
    Me hace también felíz, atender con tiempo a mi familia, mis perras, poder compartir momentos con amigos, la luz del otoño, las hojas de los liquidambar y los arces, los brezos del campo, poner una cálida chaqueta o chal en los primeros fríos…observar los pequeños pajarillos del jardín, el olor de la lavanda, de la ropa limpia, el tiempo sin prisas…todo forma parte de mi felicidad.
    Por favor, siga elaborando su magnífico trabajo y compártalo con nosotros, yo se lo agradezco porque verlo es un placer.
    Un afectuoso saludo, Cris

  57. I hope things settle down again soon. Things that make me happy: finding a secret fig tree not far from my house. My husband knowing me so well. When our baby boy giggles. 10 minutes to sit and knit and think. X

  58. learning to knit is making me happy, having a cold nose whilst tucked up in bed, my nephew (2 years old) explaining that all crazy and impossible things happen in my house, my new husband… i could go on 🙂
    oh, and autumn! i love autumn. and your rabbits 😉

  59. What makes me happy? Cooking, baking, making gorgeous little quilts for family and friends, ‘playing’ on Pinterest, and most importantly spending time with loved ones. Being able to read about and see the beautiful and talented designers such as yourself makes me VERY HAPPY!

  60. They are all so cute !!! The things it make me happy it’s to sewing, again and again !! and my little boys, and to eat in my garden, simple things in fact ! Thanks a lot.

  62. The new animals are looking wonderful! My little girl Poppy coming into our bedroom first thing in the morning and not saying anything but giving me a big cuddle and a kiss and a smile….that makes me happy!!! Oh and one f your wonderful rabbits would make me very happy too!! 😉

  63. I’ve also fallen a bit behind on getting my peace and quiet lately. But I’m working on getting it back, and knitting is going to be a huge part of that!

  64. They look wonderful all lined up ready and waiting.
    I’m with you on the ‘little bit of peace’ front but I guess different seasons bring me different little bits of happiness – at the moment it’s the golden glow of a beautiful new day and the cosy up in front of the fire of an evening.
    Have a lovely one,
    Nina x

  65. They are just so cute, what a talented lady you are. I am happiest spending time with my lovely family and today is my baby grandsons first birthday so can,t wait to see him later. I love knitting but only a beginner, I also love crochet, quilting, gardening and baking. I have recently retired so really looking forward to spending time doing the things I love. I enjoy reading your blog and catching up with your news over a cup of coffee and sometimes a cupcake!!!!!!. x

  66. Julie, my family makes me happy, on bad days chocolate makes me happy (even though I should really cut back), music always makes me happy (unless its that dreadful rap music but I suspect that music make others happy), the sunshine (its been so rainy here in Melbourne this past winter – I am itching for spring to officially arrive). Best wishes xx

  70. These are a few of the things that make me happy….
    …..Apples, butterflies, my kitten, Autumn, knitting, friends, sleep, marmite, whimsical items and friends…
    There is so much more, but I dont want to fill your page with random items I like!
    Your knitted animals make me happy too, I wish I had every single one of them!!
    Marie xxxx

  73. Happy Anniversary!!! Your animals are beautiful and I always enjoy seeing them, especially bunnies they are my favorite but I love them all. For me designing and sewing are my passion. I love seeing the smiles on my Grand-daughters and little girls when they have beautiful little dresses and doll clothes that match. I enjoy knitting sweaters but my arthritis has made knitting something I am not able to anymore. I keep pulling out the needles but I don’t get very far. Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway and may you have many more years of great blogging and beautiful little animals!

  74. Not sure I should be taking part in this, having just won a phone pouch, but I just wanted to join in with your thoughts of simple pleasures. I love knitting or crocheting by an open fire with some nice chocolate to enjoy. Lovely. Your latest batch of sweet animals is as enchanting as ever. I still marvel at the speed you knit! I hope things settle down at home, as much as is possible. xx

  75. The anticipation of a new project, you know when you have the yarn / fabric / plants and you’re at the just looking stage and your brain goes into overdrive at the possibilities? Huge pleasure. Lovely beasties Julie as always.

  76. Your little animals look adorable all lined up, you are such a talented lady Julie! Being with my family at the weekends makes me happy, no school, no work, watching tv in the evening with lots of chocolate to share :0) Thanks for the chance of winning one of your gorgeous little creations xx

  77. lots of things……..eating and making cakes…..walking my dog on the beach……..hand quilting…..skiing…riding my
    horse….cuddling my old cat……..reading a good book in bed with a bar of chocolate….cycling down a long hill fast….owning one of your knitted animals………X

  78. Congradulations on your 7th year.!! Your creations are lovely!I enjoy my family and i really enjoy my knitting especially trying new patterns for toys. I find knitting so relaxing and most of the time enjoy the end results.

  79. A big pile of crocheted Afghan Squares gradually whittling down as I piece them together into a new blanket. Especially at this time of year, when the evenings are starting to draw in and there’s a chill in the air!

  80. Hi Julie, The animals are as cute as ever!!! I am most happy when I am with my little family. I love when it is just the three of us together doing stuff at home. Also really enjoy reading, craft and gardenin, especially my vegies at the moment. THanks for the opportunity.

  81. lordy.. has there ever been a better use for a chest of drawers?!
    hello lovely lady, sorry family life has been a bit iffy but it looks as if knitting all these chaps has given you some well needed head space x
    making me happy at the mo is seeing our sweet blind and deaf lamb doing so well – truly thought we would have to say goodbye to her but she has adapted to her surroundings so well 🙂
    also a little hexie patchwork for my sisters bump is making me smile x
    love to you all
    t x

  83. Oh, Happy Days!! I have my fingers crossed and my bunny ears. I just hope I can be so lucky to win the drawing!
    I love your creations and would be head over heels if I win!
    Thank you for the chance to win!!

  84. Gosh you said leave any sort of comment but how can you say anymore than “Gorgeous” and love to have one come live with me in Adelaide South Australia xx

  85. Being with my family makes me happy. Creating in almost all its forms: knitting, crochet, art with my kids, preparing a tasty dinner! Spending time alone with my husband, even if it’s just out to grab a coffee makes me happy too.

  86. Autumn makes me so happy, I love everything about this time of year. The colours, the food, the smells and the weather.
    Thank you for the opportunity to win one of your amazing creations.

  87. Wow look at all those amazing little creatures you have created. I think I am love with the foxes for some reason, must be the colors! Seeing your creations always makes me happy but I think the things that make me happy is knitting handknits for little ones and seeing them wearing them! Congratulations on 7 years of blogging too!

  88. The new animals are beautiful as always! I love spending my free time with knitting, reading and meeting friends 🙂

  89. One of the things that brings me great joy is my rabbit, Florence. She is a red mini lop with a wonderful,feisty, loving personality and she is incredibly intelligent. I love playing with her and teaching her new things and a cuddle with her fixes everything – some of your knitted bunns remind me so much of her

  90. What beautiful little creatures! I have a guilty secret….the thing that makes me really happy is sitting, on my own, watching Doctors with a cup of tea and some chocolate. That and sitting in the car with some knitting or crochet waiting for the children to come out of school.

  91. ….I would love all the bunnies!!! But one is ok the same!!! ;oD
    What makes me happy? my boys, knitting, crochet, crafts in general, a cup of tea and my tiramisu’!!!
    xxxx Alessandra

  92. J’aime ces petits lapins charmants. J’aimerai aussi savoir en faire un moi même. Je vous envoie un petit bonjour de France, du centre de la France : Châteauroux. C’est une région appréciée par les britaniques, certains sont même installés ici. à bientôt, amicalement
    Nathalie

  93. Being with the people closest to me (including my younger adult brother who is autistic) makes me happy. Ad making things for other people – I don’t really make anything for me as there is nothing I need, but I love giving handmade gifts away. In this world of being able to buy everything in a shop, something that shows time, love ad effort is probably the most precious gift.

  96. Always love a chance to win one of these little beauties.
    Several things are making me happy at the moment; my little 10 month old who is fiercely independent but has just started to come for a cuddle and an hour in the morning while he naps to catch my breath with a cup of coffee and a chance to whip the house into shape!

  97. 7 years…wow huge congrats to you….and you have so many folk who love you too.
    My special family times are what make me the happiest. I love it when all 3 of my children,their other halves and all 5 of my grandchildren are all together. 🙂
    Hugs,
    Annie x

  99. Little things that make me happy are; to knit and crochet with the cat purring on my lap, while my three little darlings are sound asleep. Watching the small animal life in my back yard, still hoping for that hedgehog to come visit me sometime (I love that you are going to knit some hedgehogs!! I love those little creatures). Watching the changes in nature’s colour through the seasons, giving me so much inspiration for creating new things!

  100. Such beautiful little creatures Julie, they certainly raise the happiness levels. 🙂
    What makes me happy? My family, animals, flowers, knitting, crocheting, buying yarn!!!!
    I really have a thing for orange at the moment too. 🙂 Let’s enjoy the autumn colours before we think about ‘C’!!
    Wishing you happiness too!
    Vivienne x

  101. Watching little kids makes me happy. Seeing your little animals is a close second. You really have a gift! Thanks for the chance to win one.

  104. All kinds of things make me happy but lately it’s my two cats snuggled up together on my lap while I’m reading.

  108. Happy Blogging Anniversary. Seasides, sunshine, my family and attempting to make pretty things makes me happy 🙂

  109. The elephant is gorgeous 😀
    A few things that make me happy
    Giving someone something I’ve made and seeing their appreciation of the time spent.
    Watching my new son give some megawatt smiles ot his dad when he comes home from work.
    Autumn weather

  113. Oh, a class of furry friends. I would love to teach them in school… which reminds me I’ll have to go back to work in two months… but being a teacher is something I love doing and there are many lovely moments in classroom.
    But what makes me truly happy are my kids. Being with them, playing with them, crocheting for them, sewing for them.
    Thank you for this giveaway.

  114. Love the way the little fox is peeping round the corner.
    At the moment I’m very much loving looking at Paul Holywood every Tuesday evening.

  115. At the moment I love seeing my new primary one coming out of school with a happy little face after enjoying another day of school.

  117. seeing little children with their bright smiles makes me happy! i also feel happy when i have time to create/draw/colour stuff!

  118. My kids make me happy, beautiful places and landscapes, warm tea on a cold day, reading your blog makes my happy!

  119. Basset Hounds are my love as well as knitting and crocheting. You’re rabbits inspired me to try to make some little toys and I worked on those all summer! I just love looking at your animals!

  120. The thing that makes me happy is music. I love to play my clairnet or just listen, but it always cheers me up when im low. Your rabbits bring so much happiness too. Hope your well and able to relax.

  121. Happy Anniversary!!
    What makes me happy? Hmmmmm….crisp autumn mornings, frosted spiders webs, a really good cup of coffee (and the time to drink it in peace!) a day at my favourite quilting barn and the grin on my little boys face when he recognises that he IS good at something (little lacking in confidence at the moment) – thankyou for actually making me take the time to realise that there is plenty to smile about, even when life seems a little bit overwhelming!

  125. Happy blogiversary 🙂
    These are the cutest rabbits I’ve ever seen! I wish there was a pattern! (I know a sweet little girl who would love one of these)
    About what makes me happy, the list could be long, full of little things, and would change with the season and the mood, but if I had to choose I’d say being with my family, my mother taking care of me, my father silently around, just being there. Me having nothing to worry about, and having a little bit of time in a quiet home, where I can just be me, with a little time to knit, crochet, and read, a cup of tea in the hand, and a sweet scented candle lit up on the side. That’s what makes me the most happy I think!

  127. Being creative
    I love my Patchwork,crosstitch and knitting (though obviously not to your high standard!!)
    Jane

  128. i just love all your animals and would love to win one
    like you i love to knit……in front of an open fire or in the garden

  130. Hi Julie!
    I am Marlene and I started to make cross stitch but now I do crochet and knitting.
    I love and appreciate your work and I realize that they are made with great care.
    Thank you for this opportunity!
    Hugs from Portugal,
    Marlene

  132. These are so very beautiful, I have entered all of your draws and dreamed of giving a good home to one of these beautiful little cotton rabbits, i hope this is my lucky day!!
    The thing that makes me most happy in the world is cooking for my beloved family and friends, I can spend hours in the kitchen reading old and new books on the food of the world, making spice mixes, jams, cakes, french, Italian, indian and good old British food. It truly makes me happy! Oh and the other thing that makes me happy (and this is so strange) is watching spongebob squarepants (Im 31 years old)!! I think as I have a stressful job, watching the antics of spongebob, patrick, squidward and Mr Crabbs, just takes me to a place that is fun and stress free, I think they call it escapism??
    p.s sorry if i have posted twice in error, i think i posted half my comment earlier but cant see it!!

  134. Oh, how generous of you! I just adore your little foxes especially. 🙂 Hmmm, things that make me happy… knitting, hot coffee, sitting under the trees in the back yard on a blanket while my little ones play around me.

  136. Oh gosh – how wonderful. Happy 7th anniversary. I love knitting and crochet – it makes me happy to sit and knit and chat with people. My knitting might be lumpy and mishapen but it does cheer me so.

  137. I really had to stop and think what makes me happy! We are all so hectic these days I sometimes feel that life is often just a ‘to do’ list. Spending quiet time reading, knitting, surfing Wikipedia on a fact finding mission (yes, I admit it), make me happy. Holding hands with my husband, getting a snuggle from my son, having Oscar the cat curl up on my knee are the small things I treasure and of course make me happy. I do enjoy your blog and hope you enjoy your quiet times during the school term.

  138. So cute! I feel happy when I’m at home and can sew for a while without interruptions. I also enjoy knitting but it’s been some time since I last knitted; maybe this fall I’ll find my inspiration back!
    Thank you so much for the giveaway!

  139. I love all of your animals! They just give me warm fuzzies and make me smile! What makes me happy? Spending time with my husband at our “little house in the country,” hearing from daughter at college and feeling the joy she radiates (she just txted me!), teaching preschool, and of course being creative in my knitting and scrapbooking — just love colors and textures!

  140. Writing and drawing just in pencil gives me an immense amount of pleasure – flashbacks to primary school perhaps, plus the potential to rub it out and start again.

  141. Hi Julie! Just being at home with my family and dog makes me happy. I love seeing the wonderful things you make and am amazed at your talent in designing the animals, etc. Please never stop creating! Thanks for a great giveaway. I’d love to “own” one of your little ones!

  142. What makes me happy? mmmm…..reading a good book in bed when my day is over, splashing out on a facial as a special treat. Spending time over a cuppa with my closest friends, baking a cake for somebody. Seeing my children having fun together. A warm cuddle from my husband. Seeing my neices and nephews, growing my own fruit and veg., taking a walk, Loungemake craft group.
    When I see my fitness class participants getting fitter and stonger I am sooo happy. Seeing dogs having fun on their walks, kids make me laugh so much with their honest and sometimes brutal opinion.
    Get the picture?
    Julie you are a legend, and inspiration and a truly gorgeous person, YOU make me happy!

  144. your little creations just make my heart swell, they are so divine, all with their own little characters ….you are so so very clever Julie
    what a giveaway! please pop my name into your ‘hat’ thank you thank you thank you
    love jooles x

  145. Knitting for me is inspiring. Looking at the fabulous knitting of others is inspirational. Knitting takes me away from the chores of life and into a dream world

  146. They look so gorgeous Julie, you do such a beautiful job on them. Congratulations on 7 years of blogging, I always enjoy reading it. Knitting and crocheting makes me happy, along with my family and friends.

  147. Although I love my kids, I enjoy the weekday mornings when they are in school and I know they are well and I can finally relax. Having kids takes up all your time and a cup of coffee or tea by myself is sooooo enjoyable.

  149. Has it really been seven years? Time is really flying by. I enjoy a good read, always have. A little escape from the daily grind. Thank you for the draw, so sweet.

  151. They are so gorgeous. Love to spend time with my daughter, who will be off to university next year, so am making the most of her. Love to sit and knit while watching a good movie.

  152. That little fox in the middle is so adorable! My youngest would love it! (hint hint) :o) One of the little things that makes me happy are the little one-liner jokes my youngest throws into conversation. I can always count on her making me laugh…what more does one need.

  153. Beautiful!beautiful!beautiful!!!

  155. I’m happy when I get out in the morning with my dog and come home bone dry–a rare occurance at the moment!!

  156. I love using the drawers for your photo-so creative and pretty. I would love to win a bunny. Sewing makes me happy-a great stress reliever and it opens my mind a little to think of answers I have been in search of.

  157. Spending time with my little grandson and watching him make his poorly grandad laugh his head off makes me happy.Hugs and kisses are free and we et lots of them. Never take anything for granted in this life and grab your pleasure with both hands.

  158. Such beautiful little animals! I’ve been following your blog for quite some time and I love seeing the creation of these knitted rabbits and friends. What makes me happy? Seeing the sea every morning on my way to work, knitting, and MacGyver. Simple pleasures 🙂 x

  160. I love your creations. Is the pattern for these available, (or will it ever be available), to purchase. Not that I, or most people, could do your creatures credit in comparison to your skillful knitting and sewing.

  162. My daughter makes me happy – especially when she says ‘Mummy, will you teach me to knit’ Heaven !

  163. Well, It’s the first time I comment in your blog, but I’m following it fore a long time. I’m not sure that you will include me in this, because I’m from Portugal, but here it’s go!
    I just love knit, it’s on of the things that just put me happy! Also, being with my 2 boys, and husband, visit different places, and reading.
    Best,
    Mónica

  164. being caretaker for my husband and watching our 8 year old grow up and blossom. I love to knit/crochet to keep sane! Knitting also helps me keep from eating my weight in chocolate! 😉
    Love your blog and sweet creatures you create.
    God Bless!

  165. A little brown wabbit would make me happy!
    Seriously, though, contentment for me is curled on my sofa, with both of my furry limpets (I am the property of the world’s cuddliest cats), and a blanket to crochet, with something really involving on the telly (like a whole series of Downton Abbey!).

  166. Happy anniversary,Julie, and long may you continue! What makes me happy is not feeling so pressured that I do not have the time or the energy to spend with the people I love. Thank you for kind words of wisdom and your ability to see something positive in everything you write about, despite the mountains I can only imagine you are presented with at times.xx

  167. Looking after my friend rabbit is makng me happy today. You are a very talented knitter, your blog always makes me smile!

  168. I love your work and made the bunny egg cosy a few times now and everybody loves them.
    I am very happy when I knit, crochet or make my little creatures of clay, but most of all when I spent a week with my daughter and granddaughter in England!

  169. One of the things that makes me happy is looking at your blog :). I think you are the Beatrix Potter of the knitting world. Much love from Down Under xx

  170. Your creations are so beautiful and so adorable! 🙂
    Things that make me happy… hot chocolate with marshmallows, fluffy socks, chicken pie, good music, forest walks… makes me happy just thinking about it! 🙂

  171. My granddaughter makes me happiest, but in the second place come crocheting and knitting
    I love your animals, they are absolutely perfect! Wish I could make some remotely resembling them…

  173. Fall is my favorite season. I love the crispness of the air. The light seems to have a sharper edge to it. Perfect for knitting.

  177. Your bunnies are so gorgeous and I would love the chance to own one.
    A couple of things that make me happy are english paper piecing hexies and watching my children sleep…
    Congrats to you for 7 years of blogging!!

  179. Absolutely beautiful,
    For me its creation and time for myself as my life as stay at home mom are very demanding.
    my best friends are rabbits and I would loooove to have one of yours here with me, to look at me when I work on my little corner.
    Please, please take a moment to look at my work at this link ans if you like to have something for yourself, let me know and I will send it to you with pleasure,

  180. I love your animals, especially their outfits!
    I enjoy knitting and crochet and walking in the lovely countryside and along the coast where I’m lucky enough to live.
    Pam

  181. Knitting and some peace and quiet sounds good to me too! With maybe a cup of tea and a nice biscuit. Your animals are beautiful.

  182. Being creative makes me happy, in any form, knitting crocheting, branding, illustrating. Anything that involves playing with combinations of colour shapes and texture, and winning one of your gorgeous creations makes me very, very happy too 🙂

  185. Love them all would love on for my daugher
    I just lots my dad and my daughter not good at school
    What makes me happy my daughter my cat and the knitting

  186. Reading a good book, is just heaven to me, especially if I find the time to read all day! Your little animals are beautiful.

  188. What cute little faces peeking out! What make me happy? My family, huggles, laughter, knitting, cross stitch, reading a good book, being out in nature on a sunny day with the wind in your hair, the seaside…..
    Thanks for sharing your lovely animals with us! x

  189. I’m a reader, a crafter and a dreamer. I’ve dreamed on owning a little cotton stuffie for five years now. Here’s hoping… 🙂

  190. Congratulations on your 7th bloggerversary!
    I love your little critters already for years and still hope that I will be able to welcome one into my home .
    I find a lot of joy in making my dolls.
    Being creative has always been a big part of my life and it balances out the stressfull parts of life.
    Have a wonderful day!
    Sue

  193. Whilst knitting and crochet make me happy, spending time with my family makes me happier. I love it when the girls are home and my family is whole again, catching up with our news and enjoying being together. Thanks for the chance to win one of your amazing creations, fingers crossed x

  194. Gosh. They’re so darling. Hmmm. Happy. When my two year old says “thank you” without being prompted. The soreness after a good workout. Starting a new knitting project. When the plane lands–signaling a new adventure or a return home. Baby coos. Thanks for the chance to win one. These are so cute.

  195. What makes me happy? Seeing your lovely menagerie of adorableness, crisp fall days, a good crunchy apple, sun over my shoulder as I stitch or knit, starting our new blog (www.tokensandtrifles.com/blog), knowing the ruffle from” h*ll” on my Sothia shawl is almost done, dancing while making dinner , a bright clear moon and so much more!

  197. I have been off my feet for the last month following an operation on my foot, progressing well and should be back to normal in a couple of weeks. The things that I have missed the most, which must be the things that make me happiest is cooking and spending time on my allotment. Oh yes! I habpve done loads of knitting and crochet! Not quite as prolific as you though!

  198. My husband, children and grandchildren make me happy. I love to knit and would love to own one of your lovely creations.

  199. Congratulations on your blog anniversary. The thing which makes me most happy is spending time with my family, something I’m treasuring all the more at the moment as both kids are growing up fast and I know it’s only a matter of time before we’re not all together anymore.

  202. Knitting and crocheting really makes me happy! Making things in general. And I am soooo inspired by the coloruse in your Misty afgahn!!

  203. Looking forward to a new season, I love Autumn with its’ orange and brown tones, a crisp, breezy day in Autumn walking through the leaves, now that makes me happy!!
    Your knitting is beautiful, keep inspiring! x

  205. Hi Julie
    I love your knitted animal’s. What makes me happy is my family and sitting on my deck just soaking in the beauty around me, also bringing out a good book with me or a craft project to work on. Thank You for a chance to win one of your adorable animal’s.

  206. Beautiful Knitting!X
    Unexepected moments of peace and quiet make me happy- crocheting and baking cake are my tools for calming- and eating said cake with a pot of Earl Grey are for my indulgent moments. Thanks for blogging and your lovely giveaway x

  207. Apart from the obvious, being with my family and friends and chocolate. I love creating, be it knitting, dressmaking, gardening or quilting.

  208. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your little creations! They are so darling!!!! Please consider putting your patterns into a book!

  209. Your stuff is so beautiful! I love knitting and love when I get an hour or so to do it, that and my wonderful daughter are the things that make me happy.

  210. Your little animals are so lovely – I don’t think I could ever get mine so beautiful. I bought your egg cosy pattern at the weekend, and it is so well written and easy to understand, producing the most gorgeous little blue and white egg cosy for my grandson, to be born in November. I love it – thank you so much.
    My family and friends make me truly happy.
    xxxx

  212. all the people i love around me in the house, sit there and see that they are happy to be where they be…that are moments full of joy for me. you put so much love in your animals… i love them all!!!

  213. Yet another beautiful batch of little friends. They all are simply perfection.
    Taking care of kids makes me happy. I’m lucky enough to be able to do that both in my home life as a mother as well as my career as a Physician Assistant working in Pediatric Surgery. I’m so lucky that I get to make a positive impact on their life and see them grow.

  214. Smelling lilac as I walk around the neighborhood and being greeted every morning by my cat and dog.

  216. I just love the little creatures you create! So beautiful! I have 2 2yr olds and I know they would love your little babies!

  217. Lots of things make me happy (which I guess makes me very lucky!) things like finishing a long assignment for uni and handing it in, spending time with my family and taking our children out, crafting with my daughter, watching movies under heaps of blankets with my hubby, quiet time with my son when everyone else is out at work and school, plenty of crochet and sewing, and all sorts of other things. I wish I could knit as well as you – I love your work! Thanks for such a wonderful give-away and a very happy blogiversary!

  218. I know a baby girl how would love one of those in her christmas stocking and saying that a big girl too! Love them.x

  220. Your little knitted animals are Magic! They make us happy here! My job makes me happy…providing comfort to sick children. On my days off, I enjoy being a mother to my daughter Honour and enjoy the simple joys of life! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!
    XO, Danielle

  221. Being able to share the time with my husband and knitting is what makes me happy! Our time together is precious! Your animals are so cute! You’re the first thing I check in the morning!

  222. I am thankful for the time I have with my husband and the family we have together. My daughter told me to check your blog because you had cute animals and you indeed do! Congratulations on your 7th bloganniversary.

  223. Spending quality time with my family and crocheting are what make me happy! Thanks for the generous giveaway! I love your little creations! ♥

  224. What makes me happy? Inspiration from people (such as yourself) through the internet, holding the soft warmth of my house bunny close to me, and watching my 4 rescued ex-battery hens explore their freedom in the garden with grass beneath their feet and the sun on their feathers. :o)

  225. Congratulations on your 7th year of blogging!
    There are many little things that make me happy…the warmth of the sunshine, sitting in the garden crocheting, and reading blogs like yours which are very inspirational. I love all the little animals you knit, which are so adorable..
    Thank you for a wonderful blog.

  227. Happy anniversary! After years of thinking crafting and anything creative was beyond me, I am enjoying being a first time mum and creating a few little bits and pieces for my little girl.

  228. Knitting things from your patterns (teeny tiny christmas ornaments, teddies,hedgehogs,egg cozy) makes me happy though I will never make them as well as you. I have even tried to make some bunnies, mine are nice but…. My other passion is painting etegami (Japanese style postcards) and sending them off to new friends I have found on the internet (that wonderful magical place that allows us to connect and share with people we may never meet in person. Thank you for your lovely blog and an insight into your life.

  229. My kids make me happy 🙂 Also a pot of ginger tea in front of the TV while I settle down with my knitting 🙂

  230. Thanks for the lovely giveaway – here’s hoping! Things that make me happy – a cup of tea and a snooze on the sofa while my kids nap. Followed by a bit of knitting or sewing time, if I’m really lucky! I see a theme developing amongst your respondents!

  231. I love visiting with my children and grandchildren. Also….reading Little Cotton Rabbits blog!

  233. Love your animals, especially the bunnies! Hugs from my hubby and kids, texting my kids (who are all moved out, reading, my garden, quilting, knitting, Winnie the Pooh…there are a lot of things that make me happy and keep me from focusing on my health issues!

  234. What makes me happy – smiles, laughter, happiness! And watching my daughter introduce each new bunny that she has been given to their new home – room by room. She’s been doing this for a long time – and treasures each and every one so much, I have even scrapbooked them, and plan to do a whole album recording their names and where and why they arrived to our home. Your bunnies are such a delight – and very unique, your talent for these little animals is wonderful. I knit, I crochet, but I can’t do anything this small and exquisite!

  235. Happy 7th birthday! I love these bunnies, so cute.
    Simple things make me happy … playing hide and seek with my kids, having a cu of coffee on my porch while I knit,
    reading a good book, being near the ocean.

  236. I love all of your creations. Something that makes me happy is crocheting. My great nana taught me how to crochet when I was really little. I am thankful that I have that to remember her by. She would make afghans for every baby that was born into the family. Since she has passed away, I have been continuing her tradition.

  237. Your little animals and blog make me happy – you are such a loving, generous person. Thanks for the giveaway.

  238. They are so so sweet, some of them appearing to peer over the edge of the drawer! Their little faces have so much character too.
    What makes me happiest at the moment is precious time spent with my teenage daughter – the older she gets the less time for Mum, although as loving as ever when I am privileged to be able to spend time with her!

  239. Knitting, of course. : ) But also enjoying a bit of time outside on our deck. There’s a huge tree with over-hanging branches that lets dappled light through. It’s very lovely. ❤

  240. A friendly word from somebody I hardly know can make me happy. And nice yarn, home baked cakes and your beautiful pictures and wise words that always remind me of the many things that are good in life.

  241. Happy 7th anniversary and congratulations on the feature in Craft Beautiful!! Happiness is (in no particular order)…. chocolate, knitting, yarn, family and of course your cute bunnies plus my own little family of china bunnies are all sure to make me smile!! 🙂

  242. Your little animals are such eautiful creations. I love seeing people pursuing their passions. Mine is cooking. I would love to sit down and have a conversation with Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay – my two food favorites. I love cooking because it is a great expression of love towards those you care about and it makes people happy – just like your sweet animals.

  243. Congratulations on your anniversary. I find your blogs so inspiring and would love to be put forward for the chance of winning one of your adorable animals.

  245. Your knitted animals are superb, attention to detail second to none. Please include me in your draw. Just finished reading your article in Crafts Beautiful.
    Love to knit, sew, crochet and scrapbook and always interested in new crafts. Have knitted 3 of the egg cosy bunnies from your pattern. Not getting the heads quite right, think it all in the stuffing technique, any tips??

  246. The new small magazine called Taproot makes me happy. The photos and the articles are awesome.
    Knitting also makes me happy. 😀

  247. Cuddling with my kids and making time in the busy day just to be present with them makes me happy. Oh, and actually being able to get one of these creatures would really make me happy!

  248. Congratulations on you blog’s anniversary!
    Well, some of the things that make me happy are reading classic novels (I love Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronde), sewing and finding great design and DIY ideas on Pinterest 🙂
    Best wishes,
    Elpi

  249. From the first time I saw your little animals, I have loved them! I want them all! 🙂
    Things that make me happy: being outdoors in the sunshine; quiet; playing the piano.

  250. What a wonderful picture of all those adorable knitted animals….you have a real talent.
    What makes me happy….all the family around the table for a meal…reading a good book….knitting….walking the dogs…friends…..the Lake District…..sunshine…..the list could go on and on, but those are just a few!
    Happy bloganniversary!

  252. I love these little soldiers and your blog. I’ve been following you for about 2 yrs now and always enjoy your posts. Long may your bunny blogging exploits continue!
    Kind regards,
    B x

  253. What a beautiful selection of animals, I bet you get some really strong happy vibes from making those. Things that make me happy are plenty of hooky time, sky gazing and happy sounds coming from my children.

  255. Your animals are so lovely! At the moment now its feeling autumnal the things making me happy are tea, hot choc, homemade soup and knitting!

  256. Little things that make me happy…hubby doing the dishes, my kids snuggling with me, our rabbit, knitting, a good book, a cup of coffee.

  257. Sunny winter mornings, warm summer evenings, the smell and sound of waves, the smell of my children warm from their beds and laughter with friends.

  258. Your critters are all so gorgeous. They would have to make anyone smile!!
    I enjoy creating with my hands, sewing, knitting, embroidery – I love all of it!
    Happy 7th year of blogging!!

  260. Hi Julie, please enter me into your draw – the animalscarevas gorgeous as ever! Autumn makes me happy as does toast and honey, tea with a friend and a good book!

  262. Sitting on the red leather sofa knitting, with the whippets strewn about me, the sunshine streaming in through the windows, and a coffee and some good chocolate just within reach. In fact I’m doing exactly that just now, or I was until I swapped laptop for needles.
    What a fabulous give away Julie, so generous 😀

  263. Congratulations on your 7 years Julie, I bet it doesn’t feel like that long. What makes me happy hmmmm knitting when I have the time, taking little snaps on my camera , my boys and definitely the odd glass of wine or two 🙂

  264. I really really love your work!
    What makes me happy are the sweet little things in life: reading, crocheting, walking at the beach, gardening, drinking tea in front of the fireplace on Winter nights and my dear partner 🙂

  265. I love just being able to spend some time with family. Like sitting on my mother’s patio visiting with her. Or the luxury of being at home and puttering with “homekeeping”. Even if it’s cleaning the dreaded toilets ;-D.
    Your little animals are just adorable Julie — as always. What a lovely giveaway!

  266. Happy Birthday Little Cotton Rabbits! What makes me happy these days is feeling those little kicks inside my belly and the thought of the white baby blanket I’m about to start knitting. Hope you enjoy many more years of blogging! Best wishes xxx

  267. Wow so many comments, it will take you days to get through them all.
    Lots of things make me happy, I’ll list my best,
    My family being happy and healthy ( same for everyone I guess )
    pottering about in the garden
    my lovely ittle dog
    and making things to name a few.
    Hope everything is good with your family.
    xxx

  270. Little things that make me happy are hugs from my husband, the smell of autumn leaves, reading with my daughter Victoria and baking with my other daughter Megan, oh and being able to spend a whole day knitting 🙂
    I just have to say that your knitted toys are my favourite, you are amazing at what you do.

  271. oh, what a lovely prize, just looking at your work makes me happy – my granddaughter is one year old on Saturday,hugging her is the best thing ever – crocheting also makes me happy – I call it ‘me’ time…

  272. I just love all your animals but I do have a soft spot for the bunnies. Your work is just beautiful and I wish I could produce results like you do. Please don’t ever stop making these animals as you give great pleasure to a lot of people including myself. xxx

  273. Things that make me happy….
    The picture of your little bunnies all finished and ready to go, my sweet puppy, Fall (I feel it coming) and everything else that comes from the season. xo

  274. I just love your work everything you make is such perfection. Just beautiful x x x Just looking at my children makes me smile inside and out and I feel so much pride and happiness. I get so much joy from knitting and crochet and when I am doing my favourite crafts all my thoughts are focused on what I am making which takes all the worries away.

  275. I find that knitting gives me patience which makes me a better person. And that makes me happiest! May you have a bit of Knitting and peace and quiet in every day.

  278. I love all your work it truly is perfection. Just beautiful x x x
    When I look at my children it makes me smile inside and out, that is pure joy and happiness. My favourtie crafts are knitting and crochet and when I am working on a piece and focus on what I am making all other thoughts are put aside which leaves me with nothing but peace and happiness.
    Love your blog and always look forward to reading it x x x x x

  280. I love your animals, their sweetness shines through.
    It’s the little things that make me happy – cool breeze on my face. But most of all it’s my two teenage boys. One lives away from home now at college, he was home this past weekend. I was joyous. 🙂

  284. My twin boys age 14 still telling me how much they love me and my dear little princess age 5 LOVING me to the moon and back! (oh…and I would love to bask in the sun with a glass of vino on the Amalfi Coast of Italy!)
    Your knit animals are the most beautiful ever…three yrs and still hopeful for one wee little!!!

  285. I think your Rabbits are AWESOME!! I LOVE them, each and every one!. I also love your Foxes and your elephants and your monkeys and, well, I guess I just LOVE them all!! I truely NEED one of your little knitted creatures!!

  287. Congratulations on making it to 7 years! I am in the middle of writing my 4 year anniversary post and I thought I was doing well! Your animals are so beautiful they make me smile. The small things that make me happy are the smell of a wood fire outside on a crisp Autumn evening, when the sky is clear and I can see the stars.

  290. I love your knitting! I’d love to be entered in your draw. I love knitting, crocheting, sewing for my two little girls. Spending time with my family makes me happy.

  291. Happy Anniversary! The hope of winning one of your precious animals makes me happy, but I would just as happily get the chance to buy one. How do I go about getting a chance at that.

  292. Being able to do things for people makes me happy. Chilcdren learning and exploring and making sense of their world makes me happy. Looking at your peaceful charming creations make me happy. Thank you for sharing your talents. It is a good way to start my day.

  295. I look forward to reading from your blog every week. It is part of my happy morning routine. I am happy when I have my knitting needles in my hands or sitting at my sewing machine. The process of changing an idea into an object is a constant joy. I love the look of your soft little critters and I want to go yarn shopping with you some day.

  296. Well done on creating another super-lovely batch of knits! How I wish you had time to open a shop…
    My 5 month old baby makes me very happy, as does my husband, my family, being on maternity leave (no work or commuting, whoo-hoo!) country walks, crafting, big old houses with secret passages, and a nice cup of tea and a sit down, preferably with a large slab of cake. Yum!

  298. I would love to win one of these, adore them all!
    Things that make me happy besides my family, of course, would be knitting and biking. Now if I could only figure out how to do them at the same time…

  299. Knitting, especially with friends, makes me happy. If no friends are around, sitting on my couch with a movie and a dog is a close second.

  300. I love the little things. Picking my own herbs, cooking good simple food, curling up and reading a book but I absolutely LOVE crocheting blankets. Your “me old china” blankie inspired me to make one inspired by some cath kidston mugs I have. Thankyou for inspiring me not only in craft but to be more accepting to people with learning disabilities and understand how difficult it is to deal with it. My brother has aspergers and I never understood how hard it must have been for my mum until I read your blog. Thankyou for letting someone like me take a peak into your life.
    Lots of love,
    Em

  303. I LOVE the picture of your animals in this post. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the elephants before and they are so cute! Simple things make me happy: walking my dog in the woods, dinner with my husband, knitting, and reading a good book.

  304. I love reading your blog. Your photos are uplifting, your writing is great, and what about your knitting and crocheting! But, one thing I like maybe the most, is your honest view of you and your family….rather a tell it like it is because that’s what it is. I enjoy that you find time just for you and your daughter. And, you know deeply that you need time for yourself. I have a dear friend with a son with autism who just turned 17 and the two of you seem to face the world better than others I know. I find that stopping by your Little Cotton Rabbits gives me something to think on. Thank you!

  305. Wow I love that bunny on the bottom row with a patch over her eye and ear! Too cute! I can’t wait to see your Christmas creations!
    I’m happy when I’m snuggled up with my cat, a hot chocolate and a good book! 🙂

  306. Lots of little things make me happy but, at the moment when you asked, I was looking at the picture of your little animals and their little smiles made me happy!

  307. 7 years! Good grief, that time really has passed quickly. It has been a delight and a privilege to be invited into your world. There are two things that encompass much of what makes me happy, reading and learning. I was at a friend’s house on Monday and she showed me a basket of yarn skeins she had dyed with funghi, fruits and barks. Oh Julie! My first thought on seeing them all was of you. They were the colours that I see repeated again and again in your work. Soft grey-greens, delicate ochres, muted sable browns. My friend wondered what she make with them and I told her to leave them sitting in their baskety home for some time longer bc they just looked so perfect. sigh I wish I had a pic to share with you.

  308. What beautiful animals! My happiness comes from my family, my cat, knitting, reading, chocolate and Liverpool FC- simple pleasures in life 🙂

  309. The bunnies are lovely Julie and so cute…
    I enjoy reading and having a cup of tea or cocoa and taking walks along the beach it always helps to get things in perspective for me. Happy 7 years on your blog 🙂

  311. Yeyyyyy another giveaway!! Fingers crossed, lol. What makes me happy?? So much! My family…most especially my baby. Yarn. My ridiculous dogs. Travel. Planning Travel (totally a difference!), Disney, Christmas. Lol, I could go on and on!!

  312. For me I’d have to say that crocheting and buying new yarns makes me happy. When I knit or crochet a sense of calmness comes over me and I just feel so relaxed and peaceful! I would love to win one of your little critters : )

  314. I love your little foxes, they’re very sweet.
    In my life my favourite thing is smelling my children’s hair; while cuddled in on the sofa under crocheted blankets. In some ways I’m glad Autumn is on the way, I get more cuddle time.
    Amanda.x.

  315. Oh I love your little knit animals. Do I spy some foxes in there? What makes me happy……Legoland with my grand daughter and sitting in my chair with a pile of yarn and crocheting.

  317. I’m happy at this time of year when I see the squirrels getting ready for winter. I love when they dig little holes to bury their nuts. They seem so industrious.
    And, any time of year, I’m ridiculously happy when I see a chipmunk. They are the cutest things ever 🙂
    And, I love all your little knitted animals – always they have the sweetest, most gentle little faces.
    Thank you for your blog. It is a favorite of mine. I’ve been reading for a few years now, and I’m pretty sure I found you through your little Christmas stocking pattern, so thank you for that too 🙂

  333. Your blog- that makes me happy. Really. I am across the pond, all the way on the Pacific side in California, but little glimpses into your life make me smile every time.

  335. I just recently learned how to knit and I love your work. Knitting is my sense of calm after a long hard day.

  338. I love your little rabbits! They make me happy! Also, walks on a crisp, cool evening with the smell of a wood fire burning.

  339. I find your rabbits amazing, I’ve always been hopeless at knitting! I enjoy the changing seasons, a cup of tea, crochet, pottering in the garden, those rare and precious little snatched moments during the day when all is calm – simple things!

  341. They are so adorable! What makes me happy… the sound of the ocean, the sound of small children laughing, and dolphin swimming… I think I need to move closer to the ocean!!

  343. Gardening, knitting, sewing, scrapbooking, cooking, baking ( and eating LOL), exercising, sun, flowers, snow and my family all make me happy! Oh, reading your blog makes me happy too ;o)

  344. I was sitting on my back deck yesterday, admiring the view of the lake and thinking that life was pretty darn good!
    Things that make me happy are always simple things: my big beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog, Trace, nature, a change in seasons, making pine needle baskets, knitting, reading, photography, cooking, & laughing with friends.
    Have a great day!

  345. Hi I Love your Knitting and adore your rabbits !
    The things that inspire me are wool and fabric, colours , September sunshine ,sea breezes ,
    finding vintage floral paintings and hanging them in a group !
    Thanks for your blogs
    Liz

  346. Your little knitted animals are so cute! I love them, they each have their own character! I have a lot of things that make me happy, but top of the list is probably my husbands cuddles. Especially after a long day at work when I’m grumpy, they never fail to cheer me up 🙂

  348. that gorgeous collection of animals made me smile for a start! 🙂
    its the simple things that are best like a clean bed, a cup of tea in peace or an unexpected lie in! (can you tell i have small children!)

  349. Aren’t they lovely, all of them together. I can’t imagine how you can bear to part with even one of them.
    What little thing makes me happy? A trip to the ocean, walking along the water, breathing in the salty air, finding nice pieces of beach glass (I have quite a collection by now). Getting stuck in a good book.

  350. oh, happy bloggiversary! you’re very kind to be giving away one of your gorgeous creations.
    what makes me happy? time spent with people who are easy company, beautiful countryside, peace and quiet, time and space to be creative.

  351. Happy 7th anniversary. Seeing your adorable knitted rabbits after a long nursing shift brought a smile to my face and I need one to cuddle. Rabbits are my favourite things apart from my family x

  353. So many things. My family, garden, knitting, sewing, crochet, dogs and of course your wonderful little cotton rabbits. Happy Anniversary Julie!

  356. I would be really happy if I could knit a little rabbit family myself but seem to get all thumbly when in the vicinity of needles. I am happy you take the time to make these bunnies!
    Also I would like to know how to get on your mailing list please.

  358. I love spending time with my grown children, knitting, reading and walking in the sunshine 🙂
    Your animals are such an inspiration…just beautiful!

    Finding a nice squishy soft skein of yarn, just the right color makes me happy
    I have a 7 month old puppy…….it’s ridiculous the amount of happy she brings into my life………..she does so many adorable and funny things that just make me laugh until I cry!

  380. Thank you for creating such beauty! What little things make me happy? Why, little cotton rabbits, of course. Also, seeing my two live cats playing around the house, napping, showing affection for us and each other. I’m so grateful to live with little furry beings. Congratulations on your 7 year anniversary! Isn’t blogging wonderful? I’m celebrating my 5 year by moving to my own domain name… much to do & learn. Which also makes me happy. Best wishes to you.

  382. I would be over the moon if I won one of your animals!! I love surprises…even little ones. I love having someone bring me tea. I love seeing a squirrel romping around in the treetops. And I love going outside for lunch at work and feeling the sun on my face!

  386. Looking at your beautiful knitted animals makes me very happy! I especially love the rabbit with the brown eye patch and one brown ear. Adorable! I’m not a knitter but I love to crochet and I love color! Lots of color. Congratulations on seven years of blogging! That’s amazing. I’m sure glad you blog and let us into your home.

I think you are really a great, very strong woman.

  393. My daughter,s cat mabel makes me happy . She is a visiting cat when my daughter is working away from home , Knitting is a wonderful ealaxing hobby , sometimes interupted ds by a very pretty tabby cat such fun to mix up all the wool and chew the wooden needles, Thank you for all your patterns ,

  395. Music makes me happy: “I simply remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel so bad…”

  397. Thanks for offering a chance to enter your giveaway, I just love your designs. It’s so hard to put into words – I suppose just taking joy in each day is what makes me happy.

  398. Logs drying by the side of the stove, summer green making way for the the tints of autumn, a Persephone book to read, a cat on my shoulder (she still thinks she’s a kitten), getting the hang of a new pattern and amazing myself with how many things I have still to learn, family and good friends….happiness is always to be found in the little things in our everyday lives.

  399. Hello and congratulations! So many things make me happy, being curled up on the couch with my daughter and my three doggies, a lovely meal with a prettily set table (candles, flowers…), going to bed really early with fresh sheets and listening to Native American Flute music while stitching or knitting, cup of tea and dark chocolate at the ready, getting a letter from a friend, reading my favorite blogs (your’s is at the top!). Blessings from Shari momoshari@yahoo.com.

  400. Thank you for a chance to win one of your incredible critters!
    What makes me happy… hm…. it usually included crochet and crafts in general, having my own bit of time and space to express myself through little handmade things… It’s only recently that I fully realized – that without my family and my kiddos being healthy, safe and sound, I cannot enjoy even a tiny little bit of my hobbies.

  401. Congratulations on your 7th Anniversary. I have enjoyed stopping by and reading your blog. My happy times are when I am knitting I also have another reason to be especially happy as my first grandchild arrived on Monday last!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.

  402. I adore your knitted animals. The bunnies are my favourites. I love to knit, too. I knit for family, friends and friends´ kids. It makes me happy to relax in the garden. To sit outside and knit allows me to meditate. Love Jane.

  403. The rare times nowadays that I spend with all my children together make me happiest, along with my knitting and crafting time, of course. Your knitting blog is inspirational and I have just also realised that your tenderness for the times you spend with your family is also what draws me to your blog when I need a treat and get a moment to myself. Thank you for sharing, greatly appreciated. Kindest regards, Ailsa.

  405. Hi, Enjoy seeing your little creations. So adorable. Things that make me happy are: peace and quiet and time for knitting. Lorraine

  406. Love, love, love the elephant! Been collecting elephants since I was a little girl. All your animals are so cute.
    Carrie

  407. My knitting and children make me happy. Also the nice Fall weather we have been having. Thanks for the chance to win!

  408. Rummaging through all my wool with my 11 year old daughter planning what we are going to knit next makes me very happy indeed.

  409. My favorites are the pastel colors of your animals. They all remind me of the words of Peter Rabbit and Wind in the Willows.

  410. I love the little mousey I spy in the bottom corner!
    Apart from the obvious knitting and crochet, curling up with a good book makes me incredibly happy. That and chilling with my animals; though normally they want to chew the yarn or eat the book so I have to do the hobbies separately. At the moment we have 5 rats (One 2 year old and 4 9 week old babies) and a Syrian hamster. They’re the love of my life (but don’t tell my other half that 😉 )

  411. What makes me happy? Walking barefoot an a freshly cleaned wood floor… which is really a feat now that I am a mother with a young child… in toilet training… making an awful lot of little poodles that I constantly step in!
    Happy knitting!

  412. They are a joy to behold. Each have a wonderful personality of their own. I would love to have one of them to talk with on a daily basis 😉
    Thanks for the opportunity.

  413. I love reading your blog, love your knitted animals. Knitting makes me happy, love going to the yarn store and touch all the yarn. Deciding on my next project! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us!

  414. I like knitting lambs – and lots of other things – and I like to “streichel” my dear cat Winnie.
    Have a nice evening, yours, Barbara aus Wien

  415. I love your rabbits!
    My family make me happy! and as I have an empty nest for the first time this week I’m really looking forward to having them all home for Christmas!

  416. Sitting with my cat, knitting, sewing and lots of tea make me happy! Ah, the simple thinks! Thank you for your inspiring knits.

  419. My knitting makes me happy. Also my family, cool fall air. I love yor bunnies so much they are beautiful.

  420. autumn and spring make me happy,and the sound of children laughing,aND MY CRAFTS KEEP ME SANE!
    I just love your rabbits x

  421. I enjoy your crative endeavours very much. The coast, being outdoors, reading and my family make me happy.

  422. beautiful things like your animals make me happy, as well as the visitors that come to the garden that I created for them. currently a black swallowtail caterpillar is munching on the Queen anne’s Lace!!! many things make my heart sing every day, a text from one of my children, friends gathered for bible study, sitting on top of a mountain, sunsets, and sunrises……….

  424. I absolutely love rabbits, so your little knitted ones make my heart sing. I’m never happier than when I am crafting something for my home. Knitted or crocheted, nothing beats the snuggle of a homemade blanket!

  425. You are truly a lovely, gentle lady with a beautiful talent for creativity. I love your blog and knitted creations. I would be very happy to give a home to one of your babies. I adore spending time with fam and friends.

  428. Your beautiful animals make me happy! My Mum loves them too and I would give it to her…well, she did just give Dad a kidney…it’s only fair!

  430. Lovely bunnies. I’m listening to my daughter singing in the bath – what it is about showers and baths that make us sing?!?

  432. Knitting and spinning! It’s like yoga, it is so satisfying to create things. It is like a flow and helps me make my day.

  434. I have been knitting baby items, hats, shoes and sweaters. I am so ready for fall to begin, my favorite time to knit and stitch. Love your knitting, especially the rabbits. Great job on the blog too.

  435. My new puppy makes me happy and a little bit of crochet when i have the time as i have a daughter with autism. I love your blog and can really relate to the things you are going through as i feel exactly the same.Oh and your rabbits and little animals are charming what a talent you have.

  436. It’s knitting for me also, I love choosing the yarn,the pattern and then having a go I haven’t been knitting long so I enjoy the challenge of a new technique. I also enjoy a good cup of coffee and home baking yum!

  437. Looking at your blog and seeing your creations makes me happy. I just love seeing their sweet expressions. I also get great pleasure in painting and creating pretty things ..thanks for sharing your gift of knitting.

  438. Hi Julie! Congratulations on seven years of bloggin’; you’re lucky, I can’t commit to it for even a day, haha.
    As to the lucky draw – here’s hopin’~! – well, all sorts of things make me happy, but right now I can’t really help but love the autumn. Crisp leaves, sweaters and chilly mornings are just the best! A great excuse for warm apple cider with cinnamon sugar and big mugs of hot cocoa! Autumn always reminds me to be grateful too, its been a tough years in some ways, but I’m so very fortunate to be livin’ the life I do. c:
    Blessed be!

  439. How can you bear to let them go? They so cuddly all together like that. What makes me happy is walking in to a clean and tidy room in my house, something that doesn’t happen that often but which is totally under my control.

  440. Simple pleasures include – reading in my caravan, gardening in the rain, walking Small Dog on the beach and collecting shells and of course, knitting!
    X Sally @LavenderAttic

  443. Your animals are wonderful, so pretty and gentle – I love them all. I am happiest when I have a little me-time to spend on my sewing.

  445. A few quiet hours! When the kids have actually gone to bed early and it’s just me and the laptop looking for a new project!

  448. Lovely rabbits. What I enjoy most is my garden(I garden every day ,my garden is very big) and in the winter I quilt my other pleasure.

  449. Dear Julie, you are so an inspiration! I love my girls and do crocheting and knitting with them. I am so happy they like to do it. Congrats for your anniversary! Greetings from Venezuela!

  450. What makes me happy? crisp Autumn days. Candles. Rose wine. My knitting. My grandchildren. Friends. The minute a pupil, after struggling to read for 10+ years, finally gets it.

  451. Can’t help noticing how many comments on this post! But that’s hardly surprising, your animals are adorable. What makes me happy………… reading lovely knitting and crochet blogs…. thank you for blogging.

  458. happy blogiversary, wow 7 is very grown up! blogland makes me happy, it’s brought me lots of friends over the years, and inspired me to make lots of creative things I wouldn’t have thought possible.

  459. I love natural fibres – cotton, wool and my favourite yarn made of alpaca. Just looking at my stash makes me content.

  460. Admiring and, I admit, coveting other people’s beautiful work products makes me happy, and also inspires me to bring more art to my own crafts.

  461. What makes me happy? i love when ur creative juices r flowing and ur in the early stages of a new project-the endless possibilities that lie ahead (bit like trying to guess an unwrapped xmas present) x

  462. Apart from family my next happy place is getting out and exercising. My current obsession is stand up paddle boarding – getting out on the water can always put a smile on my face.

  463. Things that make me happy,texts that make me smile,the sound of the rain against the window. The sound of the sea lashing against rocks. A nice glass of wine being poured. Looking at your creations.xx

  464. Happy Anniversary!
    Many things make me happy, but a few favorites are time with family, moments with my dogs and cats, and taking something old and refinishing it to be something beautiful again. Bliss!

  465. Lately I enjoy playing with wool: ripping things out, skeining, washing skeins, winding balls. Hoping to get a nice fleece soon to do some spinning so I can play with that too. Wish I was half as good at knitting it up into things!

  466. I love your creations. I love watching movies with my family, reading a good book and sewing fun projects

  468. I’m very happy when I get an idea and do it, like when I made a personalized placemat for each member of our family for our 50th anniversary celebration last month. It was so much fun thinking of how to make each one unique! I love your little rabbits and would love to win one.

  516. These are the sweetest! I always love the bunnies but the fox and elephant? Adorable!! Right now I’m knitting hats and socks for winter!

  517. Knitting and dreaming of future projects makes me happy! Your talent of making adorable animals is astounding!

  521. Knitting, reading and writing are what make me happy. And playing with babies. I would LOVE to win one of those little animals: they’re just so cute!

  522. Rainy days and not having to get out of bed….snuggling with my cat….dinners on the patio with hubby…spinning the perfect handspun.

  523. I think you knit the most beautiful animal that I have see. really they are amazing.
    The things that makes me happy are a good book to read near the sea, and with all my family around me.

  524. Oh my, I just love love love your critters! I hope the home front settles down soon. This is my favorite time of year, it always gives me peace.

  525. What a delightful way to style that photo. I love seeing them all. (but maybe I still like that little clothesline of dresses a few posts back even more!). Knitting makes me happy, too. It is so accommodating to time, place, schedule, and energy level. But one little thing that always makes me happy is changing out the photo of my computer background. Costs nothing and I can do it whenever I’m ready for a new view. Your rabbits are wonderful.

  526. All your animals are so cute, and I’ve loved reading your blog for years. What inspires me is freshly baked pie, warm tea, friends and family, knitting, and long walks outside in the sunshine.

  527. Oh how I adore your little animals. A few things that make me happy, sitting in the swing with my husband. Snuggling a newborn, reading a good book, dr pepper, watching birds outside.

  530. Hopefully mine is the name you draw out at random! Thank you and have a wonderful day … love all your creativeness … do you also take the pictures? I could look at the pictures ALL DAY! :o)

  532. I love that, with just a long piece of spun fiber and 2 needles, talented hands can create the most delicate, beautiful rabbits (and other animals). And give them so much personality!!

  533. I honestly don’t know how you could part with even a single one, but I’m so glad you choose to share them with the world. Thanks so much for a chance to win one. May “normal” arrive quickly in your home. Aside from being with my two girls, knitting, crochet and handwork (embroidery, for example, or hand-piecing) makes me happy.

  535. I love stalking your site and seeing all of the wonderful things you create. You are such a talented lady. What makes me happy is trying to learn to knit, and curling up with a hot cup of tea and a good book.

  536. Your lovely animals are the most beautiful I have seen. As well as sunshine and crocheting, my 3 girls make me truly happy.

  537. Congratulations on your 7 years blogging… We enjoy following you and seeing those dahlin’ creatures. They do bring smiles!!

  539. Oh no seven years, is it really, sitting here reading your blog for seven years… WHAT JOY! What makes me happy, its not hard, my boys… Oh my seven years….. wowsers!!! No I must have read that wrong. Loved following your adventures, especially the honesty of it all… Because life is nt a bed of roses but there is beauty in everything, even if we cant see it at the time, thanks for you sharing.

  541. I love the cozy feeling your animals project. They just make me feel happy to look at them.
    What makes me happy is crafting and teaching school. I also love reading, family, Christmas, and just life in general.

  542. Right now the fall approaching makes me happy, as I love the colors and the crispness of the air. My birthday is soon, so that also makes me happy! Thanks so much for giving me the chance to win one of your incredibly adorable little ones!

  548. Your blog often makes me happy. Your designs are sweet and I love your honesty. What makes me happy? My children. That’s an easy one. Thank you for the wonderful excitement of a giveaway of one of your very sweet knitted animals. ~Kelly

  550. What a great picture – all those dotey creatures ready for the world. Wishing you the best on the 7th.

  554. Knitting for me too! Nothing like the excitement of starting a new pattern.
    Also when you finish the pattern and have made no mistakes!

  557. Colored leaves. Horse ears. Dogs’ chins on my knee. Dear notes from even dearer friends. Grandchildren’s eyes. A good book on a snowy afternoon. A fine fire and hot chocolate. Colored lights against the darkness. Shingled walls. Faithful friends. Good sleep (ha – what do we know about that, eh?). Peppermint. That’s just the beginning.
    This is my comment, but I want to will my chance at a yarn baby to Donna. So if my number comes up, drop me a note and I’ll tell you which wonderful Donna I mean.

  558. Some guilt free time to sit and knit, crochet or read is how I like to relax. Thanks for the chance to wim one of your amazing little animals. Thanks for sharing.

  559. Hello from Sydney!
    Not only do you write beautifully, take great photos and share patterns generously, your rabbits are genuinely gorgeous! I have no idea how you do it, but you consistently produce the most gorgeous things. Your bunnies each have their own little personalities and I am sure one of them is pleading to come to my home in Sydney, pretty please!?
    Also, on the side, I just LOVE the colours you used to create your granny square blanket some months ago, they were just so perfect … all those teals and dark rose … sigh!
    Thank you for being in the blogosphere and happy 7th birthday!
    Ike

  561. One is cuter than the next. I don’t know how you send them off into the world. I’m sure they make the world a happier place when they are received.
    Walking on the boardwalk in September when all the tourist have left, sitting down to start a new knitting project or a new book ae some of the things that make me happy.

  563. Knitting, walking with my husband, and my three children make me happy. And seeing all your happy, lovely bunnies and their friends makes my day too! I adore your work.

  564. My 4 children make me happy (usually :-P) The looks on their faces when they discover new things, their big belly laughs, their smell, and the fact that they all still love to snuggle in with their Mama. I also enjoy sewing, especially for Waldorf dolls.

  565. I think that your creations are fabulous. Looking at them makes me happy.
    Also… Chocolate, my husband and snuggling with my dog.

  566. Congratulations on your 7th year!
    Your little animals are so CUTE and I would love to have one of my very own!
    What makes me happy right now is spending time with my family (I have five kids and a wonderful husband) and being able to carve out some time to crochet and practice my knitting – I’ve just learned to knit this year!
    Big Hugs,
    Tracy

  567. Looking at your cute little rabbits really makes me happy! I am also happy just sitting in my small suburban backyard watching the birds come to the feeder and the pond turtles basking in the afternoon sun.

  568. Such a lovely collection of animals! I’m happiest sitting outside with my knitting and a latte, listening to music (John Mayer and Jack Johnson are current favorites). I’m just waiting for the weather to cool off in Southern California…

  569. Right now, my favorite thing is holding my sweet new baby on my chest, just days old. Treasuring these moments 🙂
    Your little animals are so sweet! I just love them.

  570. Knitting socks, knowing they will keep my grandchildren’s feet nice and warm in winter, is wht gives me pleasure. That and watching a British TV show on PBS.

  571. Happy Blogging Anniversary. Checking into your blog always makes me smile! The new additions are so cute. Other things that make me happy are my four little Cairn Terriers!
    Hugs!
    Heidi

  572. Sitting in the yard with a craft and a book makes me happy, congrats on your 7th year!.

  575. Hi Julie,
    Love thelittle animals! My family and the excited feeling of anticpation before you start a new cooking or craft project makes me very happy.
    Thanks
    Susan

  576. Julie, your animal creations are fantastic. Time spent with my children (grown up) or reading a good book makes me very happy.
    Sheridan

  577. What makes me happy? I love a cup of tea, some knitting and Masterpiece Mystery on the t.v. And checking up on my blogs. Curling up in bed with a book every night. Family. Roller Derby. Weeding my perinial garden. Bike riding with my corgi. etc…

  579. The things that make me happy are knitting for my five children, and being with them and my hubby every day. I adore your little animals, and would love to win one. I would love to make some like them someday.

  580. Sunflowers make me happy, the ocean and
    seashore makes me happy. A childs smile
    and laughter make me happy.
    You’re bunnies make me smile and this is
    also happiness.
    Thank you for all the lovely items you
    create.

  581. Just looking at your lovely animals makes me happy! I love to knit but have problems with my neck,so don’t do much anymore, but I enjoy all different crafts – stitching, patchwork and cake decorating to name a few. Keep up your great work!

  582. Hmm happy…I am a teacher and two weeks holidays has just started so I can sit and relax with my crochet. The intricacies of your animals is amazing!

  583. The things that make me happiest are my 4 beautiful granddaughters and my knitting. I also love your blog and wait avidly for the next episode.

  584. Your misty afghan! No, seriously, I can’t stop thinking about it! Knitting, of course, and the potential that a skein of yarn has- it could be so many things! Making chocolate Guinness cake for friends.
    At the moment it’s hard to do most of those things with a 3 year old and a 4 month old. Thankfully, they make me very happy too!

  585. Julie, yet again you’ve come up with a batch of the cutest, most gorgeous little animals! I’m constantly amazed at what you achieve. I love knitting for my girls and the five little grandchildren they’ve kindly supplied us with! And I love collecting beautiful skeins of yarn, even though I often have no idea what it’ll be used for!

  586. General crafting is my ‘happy place’…. forgetting everything and focusing on the current project…. A wonderful treatment for a stressful busy life.. Fingers crossed… Losh x

  587. My children make me happy and just looking at your cute little creations always make me happy too. 🙂

  588. I would love to own one of your animals – although my daughter would claim it off me! Knitting is what keeps me happy and sane (and the blood pressure down!) even a couple of rows makes me contented. Jo x

  590. What makes me happy………Anything pink…….an afternoon crocheting with a cup of peppermint tea and a Tunnocks Teacake!

  591. At the moment my health is declinlng, and the only thing that truly relaxes my mind is my knitting. Also a drive on the North Yorkshire Moors , finding a place to park up and admire the beauty of the view ,the heather is a wonderful colour at the moment, off course there is another excuse to take my knitting along !
    Absolutly adore your little rabbits, tried many times to the lucky one ! Please publish a book or pattern x

  592. They’re so beautiful Julie, as always! You really do have such a talent, you clever thing. Well, I shall cross my fingers to be lucky enough to win one, although I’m sure I’ll be one of many, many entrants. For me too, crafting makes me very happy, I pretty much want to be doing that always. Sometimes knitting, sometimes it’s crochet and sometimes it’s sewing that hits the spot, but always one of those!
    S x

  593. Adorable rabbits! I love them sooo much! One of my most favourite things is feeding the wild bunnies in my garden who have become used to us and come up for pieces of crispbread and banana – such a pleasure! Elaine x

  597. Hello Julie,
    for me a happy moment is when I see a new post on your blog. Otherwise I much like you enjoy a quiet knitting hour, perhaps in the garden, but also a walk on the beach, a ride on the motor bike or a bbq with friends.
    The little chaps are sooo beautiful and the photo is very sweet with all of them sitting in the drawer… I try my luck and would be over the moon to win one.
    Claudia x

  598. Love your animals and would love to be entered in the draw! Would be a big trip though – all the way to New Zealand!

  599. They look so lovely! Like a little bit of leftover summer now the rain is falling outside.
    And that huge glittering rainbow I can just see from my office is making me very happy.

  600. Such a sweet lineup of little critters, bet you really enjoy watching them come to life!
    What makes me happy? The sound of children laughing 🙂

  601. I love having my “cappuccino” in the early morning along with your adorable website, hoping for new pictures of your wonderful work.
    Ciao from Rome!

  603. Spending time with my family makes me happy, more so if the kids are happy and content.
    I do love your knitting, I especially like your blankets and wish I could have the confidence to choose a colour scheme without being told what to choose! I’m not known for my wise colour choices. lol

  604. I love your rabbits all of them ….. they are one of things that mnake me happy ! I love flowers and sunshine and I value everyday . I love helping people and making them smile . I love softness and warm soft blankets . I love life
    Caroline xxx

  605. The latest what makes me happy thing is seeing my new grandson wearing my home knits. Oh, and this week I spent a very happy afternoon cataloguing my yarn stash, now that was bliss, opening packages and finding yarn I had forgotten about!
    Thank you for sharing your talent with us and your lovely family.

  610. Sitting in my corner of the sofa with a cup of tea, my knitting, and a good book on my ipod so I can knit and read at the same time!

  611. I’m always in awe of your creativity and grace under fire. I’d love the chance to win one of your knitted animals, but mostly I just like reading your blog.

  612. Been attempting buy one if your babies for years. A chance to win is a super opportunity. My inspiration comse from playing with my 3 little children (5 and under) and the full on belly laughs and unrestricted love they provide.

  613. watching my rabbit ‘bink’, ie, jump and turn in a circle all in one go, because he’s happy makes me happy

  614. What makes me happy ? – sunshine, sunflowers, red wine, knitting , a good book, pegging out my washing on a good drying day, flowers in the house, planting things, horses, dogwalking, sewing, laughing with my friends and family …. the list is endless

  615. I live beside the sea and love to watch and listen to the waves breaking on the shore, so relaxing, my worries just float away with the tide. x

  616. I love your animals – theyre so sweet!
    My family and friends makes me happy as does walking on a windy beach, sometimes lucky enough to see seals bobbing about watching me watching them!!

  618. what can i say they are lovely.i have made 4 egg cups rabbit i got feet of e-bay they are lovely thanks to you and your cup cake made 6 .

  619. Heh. I’d been following your work for a while when My wife showed me these little cotton rabbits in a craft magazine.. Awesome work.

  620. Yesterday happiness was working in the garden … and then coming inside and enjoying a cup of tea while looking at the newly-mown lawn and tidy herb beds. Today happiness is looking at your photo! x

  621. A cup of tea makes me happy. And my sister’s phone call from NZ each sunday makes me very very happy.
    Thank you very much for this giveway and happy bloganniversaire!

  622. What makes me happy is when I see someone’s face light up from simply giving them a handmade gift. It makes my heart sing. Thank you for offering such a wonderful giveaway.

  623. Give away……OMG to get a little rabbit is the best idea I’ve heard of yet,,,,,My rabbit needs company,…

  624. They’re all so gorgeous. Walking in the woods on a dry sunny day, sewing and eating chocolate icecream make me happy! – cant do them all at the same time though!

  626. What makes me happy….lazy Sunday mornings, early night snuggled in bed with a good book and hot chocolate, crafting in the house whilst listening to my babes playing happily in the garden, crochet in the chilly autumn evenings with the fire alight, catching up with Little Cotton Rabbits for some inspiration :o) x

  630. Always come here to cheer myself up. Your blog and your little cotton rabbits make me happy. Thanks, Julie!

  632. Oh how lovely, and not at all dangerous looking. Love the fox, so gorgeous. Thank you for being so generous and giving us all a chance to win a little cotton rabbit.

  635. Oh I do love a soft toy! And being able to complete a thought in total silence which is a rare treat these days! Happy Blogiversary!

  636. have watched and loved your work for many years although not lucky enough to win one, i have my own rabbit at home my house bunny, i have taught my children to love and care for him too, its great as rabbits like peace and quiet at times , if you get my drift, life is beautiful, love to hear your blogg julie best wishes x

  637. Children make me happy, storytime, boy scouts, girl scouts, volunteering, origami, drawing, banjo music, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, legos, a long walk, a sun conure, two rescue mutts, three children of my own one with autism, and to get to sleep in at least once a month till 7:00

  640. Love, love, LOVE your lovely little ones – it’s their faces – they just mae my smile from ear to ear! Thank you for your beautiful creations! 😀

  642. ‘Treasure’hunting on a windswept beach; obscure music on my car stereo on a long journey; engaging with food producing heroes at our local market; local baby alpaca wool and a crochet hook and a brand new nephew on the way; your lovely blog! xx

  643. The patchwork lap quilt that my daughter made me backed with my grand daughter’s first cot sheet; daffodills, hot buttered crumpets and admiring creative work like yours! Thanks for sharing your projects.

  644. It makes me happy to walk on the sand and watch the sea. At home when I’m fine embroidery, knitting and read.
    I love your rabbits and would love to have one! I’m glad you do it makes you happy.

  645. I adore your knit rabbits!
    As fall comes, I develope a sense of peace. I really like the cool and fresh air, the early darkening evenings, the pots of soup and homemade bread. I am a nester by nature and truly love this time of year. Of course knitting plays a huge part of this time of year as well. Cheers!

  648. I find joy spending time with my wonderful twin boys – hearing them laugh and having them tell me about their day and realizing how I have instilled in them faith, character, and joy.. I also love quilting and my three dachshunds! You have the most amazing critters. I hope someday to be fortunate enough to get one!

  649. The little things that made me happy are different from day to day. But it can be the scent of home baked pancakes for dinner, a ray of sunshine that lights up the window, the sweet smell of our roses that float me by as I walk through the garden, the finishing touch when completing some knitting or sewing.
    If you pay attention, most days hide small pleasures like this… at least mine do!

  650. Knitting for my 2nd generation godchildren makes me happy. I like to think when they are wearing something I’ve knitted they are surrounded by my love.

  651. I’m happy when I get up early, early, early, to be alone in the solitude to hear the crickets and birds in the morning and to hear my own thoughts and give thanks.
    From Ellen in Winchester, Virginia USA 🙂

  654. Cute!!!!! My favourite thing to do is spend time with my 9 yr old daughter. They are little for such a short time and I want to make the most of it!
    Thanks Susie

  656. Your little animals are so cute!!
    Some of the little things that make me happy:
    An email from my little nephew who lives far away.
    My cat purring (hope it’s the right word;-)
    A beer+pizza with my buddy.
    The sunday breakfast, alone, with no hurry, in my kitchen
    A movie with my girlfriends
    cp.posta@gmail.com

  658. my recipe for happiness involves just 4 ingredients: the husband, the dog, a mug of chocolate mocha and netflix.
    thank you and happy blogaversary! xxx xxx

  659. Congratulations on the anniversary of your splendid blog.
    It was the first crafty blog I found while searching for a bunny egg cosy – and there it was! I’ve been a fan ever since.
    I find great solace in knitting, sewing and crochet but what makes me happy is seeing my 14 month old granddaughter’s sweet face when she smiles because she’s pleased to see her gran :o)

  661. All of your little animals have great personalities and you seem to create such love in each one that you make. Thank you so much for sharing your love of knitting with everyone. There is something very special about being able to sit quietly and enjoy the gentle movement of the needles – so relaxing.

  663. Just found you through Pinterest and your bunnies are just the most adorable I have seen! They brought a huge smile to my face this morning! Amazing work! Are you going to offer for sale, as well?
    hugs! Kim

  664. Things that make me happy – knitting, of course, reading, the few quiet hours in the evening when the kids have gone to bed, the smile of my little girl – she was born only last week and does not really smile yet ;), the funny things my almost 3-year old says 🙂
    Looking at your beautiful bunnies and other animals always puts me in a good mood. Let me just say how much I admire your sense of color!
    You do amazing work that makes any recipient of your animals happy.

  665. I’ve been reading your blog for years and so enjoy your creativity.
    I love to spend a quiet day with my husband enjoying the sun and the ocean on a warm summer day.
    Happy Knitting!

  666. Quiet time in my caravan with my knitting and my dog, cuddles with my beloved and a sunny day in the garden with a good book xxx

  668. Reading and cross stitching make me happy. I’ve recently started to crochet and have a lot of fun making amigurumi plushies 😉
    Congrats on 7 years!

  669. I love crafting with paper but curling up with my knitting satifies me in way nothing else can, curling up with a lovely toy pattern, watching TV with a cuppa by my side, bliss!

  671. Julie, just when I think your new critters can’t possibly be any cuter than the previous batch. VOILA, You have made them ever more dear! You are amazing!
    JOY
    patty

  672. Your animals are so lovely!
    Drinking tea and looking out of the window at the beautiful trees which change by the seasons – when I should be doing some work – makes me happy!

  673. How can you bear to part with your creations? Though I imagine you would have to add an extension to your home if you did decide to keep them all ! Each an individual and so beautiful, such lovely yarns used.
    I have just started to collect for my autumn bowl – decorative gourds, cones of differnt species, conkers when they fall – Autumn, love it!

  675. Oh my what a comments you have , I love to knit a little something that make a person smile and knitting is a happy thing to do for me, it gives me peace in my mind …..i love the little rabbits the most , they are so sweet and I will try to make a rabbit someday….and that will make me smile a lot ;o)
    Thank you for all the things you share…..

  677. My sweet baby girl (especially after a good night’s sleep), knitting, crochet, beautiful fall weather which is hard to come by here in Texas! Your animals are as beautiful as ever!

  679. Congratulations on 7 years blogging! What an achievement. I am just embarking on making some of your Christmas decorations. I meant to last year but left it too late!

  680. Today I am happy because my youngest son has just sat the final 11 plus paper and we can now get back to normal!

  682. Things that make me happy….my littlest son has just started school and I work part time. Today is the first day I’ve had completely free to do as I please, without taking holiday, in an eon. I’m bubbling inside with happiness today – can’t stop smiling. Love my kidlets to bits. But…wow….its so nice to be by yourself!!!!

  683. They are so adorable. What makes me happy is my friends, family and small everyday things that sometimes we end up ignoring. I love feeling the warmth of the sunshine on my face and flipping around at my gym. I enjoy gymnastics so greatly and would not know what to do without it.

  685. Oh my word! Aren’t those the sweetest things!
    What makes me happy: cool, nippy fall temperatures that allow me and my husband to curl up on the chaise lounge out back with a big blanket. You’re knitted critters are just adorable. Thanks for sharing with us!

  688. Love love your animals and your blog.
    What makes me happy – autumn in the countryside – especially if it involves a trip on a steam train (Severn Valley Railway), my kids (most of the time) and time to watch a decent film and do some knitting :0)

  690. …well, busying myself at my textile jewels and be helped by my daughter, this makes me happy…now that Federica is grown up (she’s 16), it’s so beautiful to share with her our moments of spare time! :o)

  691. What makes me happy is a beautiful autumn day, full of browns, yellows and oranges (and still a little bit of green left). And for those rainy, windy autumn days, there are always knitting needles and a stash of yarn to accompany me.

  693. Love your bunnies and friends! I love to knit, mostly sweaters, but this year I’m going to try knit a couple of Santas.

  694. Wow! More gorgeous bunnies!
    What makes me happy? Feeling blessed with my lovely family!Sewing/the seasons/chocolate…. it appears now I have to choose I cannot!! 🙂 x

  695. Knitting, sewing and anything crafty. It’s my little girls first birthday next month and a toy from you would be a great present xx

  697. Hello!
    I am a knitter also and I love your creativity and talent…it is definately a blessed gift. Knitters are special people who have more patience than Job. Thank you being an inspiration to me and so many others.

  698. Sitting on the front lawn with a cuppa watching the horses and the wallabies in the late afternoon light. After Sunday I will be able to do that on my new Porch Swing that I have only waited 11 years for….that will certainly make me happy 🙂 Congratulations on 7 years of blogging Julie xx

  700. They are so sweet! I always love seeing the animals you are making and the sweet clothes you make for them. Making things with my hands makes me happy, especially knitting and crochet, also good friends and riding my bike.

  704. I love your small creations! You are so talented and I really like the tiny animal clothes. I find I enjoy the simple pleasures in life most. My family, friends and plenty of time to spend with them.

  705. Finding time to he creative makes me happy….although it seems to happen less and less these days with the pressures of family and work. Other than that, a nice cuppa with a biscuit and a few moments peace with my Kindle will see me though.

  706. I love sitting in the backyard listening to the wind move through the bamboo and tinkle the wind chimes. And your little animals!

  707. I love the way you have displayed these fab little chaps in their drawers (if you pardon the expression!). Just now I am rediscovering the joys of crochet x

  709. Glad to hear that you are still making these adorable creatures:) Thanks for your generous giveaway and happy blogging anniversary! All the Best, Chris

  710. Being in the mountains amongst nature, reading a great book (currently, Robert Farrar Capon “The Supper of the Lamb”) or at the beach on my surfboard are my favorite things. But I also really love your animals! especially the FOX.

  711. Seeing your ADORABLE knitted ‘babies’ always makes me happy!
    I can see that you knit them with all your heart<3.
    I would be so honored to win/adopt one! he/she would be well taken care of….and loved.

  712. With everything going on in your life, you manage to not only find time to knit these wonderful creations, but you find room in your heart to think of people you may not even know personally and do a give-away for your faithful readers!
    The things that make me happiest are knitting, painting and drawing, and bike riding with my son, Jack, who’s five; plus a ton of little things too numerous to mention here. Thanks for sharing so much of your life with us through your blog…it’s one of those little things that make me happy — Happy Blog-iversary!

  713. Being with the people I love, them being happy & most important of all, them being healthy. And if that’s all the case, my knitting & crochet, box of chilled Maltesers and Downton Abbey 🙂

  714. Gorgeous blog banner.
    haven’t visited for a while but still a big admirer of your work. There ‘re a lot of little things that make me happy but if I need to get away of it all I just need to pick up a pair of needles and dive into a project to sooth things. Feels so nice to calm down and create something.
    Carry on, who knows I might get lucky and win one of your beauties 😉

  715. I love your knitting too! For me a half hour with a cuppa and some craft of some sort is blissful *runs off to put kettle on!

  716. Happy blogaversary! Your creations are sooooooooooo precious!!! Knitting, wine, my dogs and being a full time nursing student (yes,at my age :-))are kind of my passions and bring me great joy and contentment. Many more blessings on you and your fabulous creations.

  717. Early morning, on a saturday. Being the only one up, having a cup of tea and looking forward to the weekend x

  718. What totally makes my day is knitting with luxurious yarn! Mink or silk or cashmere…and an amazing pattern. Ok. And let’s just add a Mocha from Starbucks and I am golden!

  719. The Bunny that makes me happy is the one with the spot on it’s face the two different colored ears. But, anyone of your creations would make me happy!!!
    What inspires me is the cooler days and enjoying the weather.
    Happy Anniversary!! I love to read your blog.

  720. A book I’ve never read makes me very happy. Preferably if its a big fat book and by one of my favorite authors. I keep an eye on all the new release dates, but sometimes one sneaks through and it’s such a wonderful surprise.

  721. I am working hard to finish university. It is tough but I am enjoy my course of study and all the things I am learning. I will be glad to graduate! Then my WEDDING to plan. YIPPEEE! I love your bunnies and especially the elephants.

  722. I adore your little animals so much. I would love to win or buy one someday so I can see them in person :). What makes me happy, working on craft projects, reading, spending time with my family and of course, the occasional bit of peace & quiet.

  723. Things that make me happy (apart from little knitted creatures) are family, baking, knitting, sewing and reading!

  724. At the end of the day, I enjoy nothing better than curling up on the sofa with some knitting and a cup of tea, BLISS.

  725. What makes me happy? Believe it or not, physical activity. Whether taking a walk, trying to jog or being pushed in any other way phsyically. I don’t get to be very active these days, but when I am my entire outlook on life changes. I feel free and happy. Have you ever watched a small child run like the wind. That’s the feeling I get when I move.

  726. I agree with all the other commenters that you make the most beautiful little animals in the WORLD (other than the real ones). 🙂
    What makes me happy is being able to carve out any amount of time for my creative hobbies, whether it’s art journalling, sewing a baby quilt, making greeting cards or knotting hemp bracelets.

    What makes me happy is being able to carve out any amount of time for my creative hobbies, whether it’s art journalling, sewing a baby quilt, making greeting cards or knotting hemp bracelets.

  729. I love to have a bit of time just for myself. To sit and knit, listening to music. With a cup of tea at hand.

  730. These are absolutely adorable. I love to make cards for friends and create scrapbook pages! My new favorite subject is my sweet niece!

  731. Thanks for the chance to win! One of the things that makes me happy this time of year is to take a nice long walk through the woods with the dogs.

  733. Congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment. Your work is simply divine. Very talented. Yes, I’d love to have one of the animals. I love knitting [of course] and cool fallish nights. I love football and hot chocolate. It’s the knitting that takes all the frenzy of teaching in an inner-city high school. Imagine having to cope with thirty different moods every period…..besides my own.
    Thanks for the giveaway. Hope I can win one of your animals.

  736. I have always adored your super cute creations! Some of the things that make me happy are spending time with my children, making time to “play” with my artwork, and spending time with friends and family.

  737. I’m blessed because lots of things make me happy! Lately it’s been biking to work – when I feel the wind on my face, it makes me feel like a young girl again. And of course knitting ALWAYS makes me happy, even when I have to fix my mistakes!

  738. The photos in your blog always make me smile! This is my favorite time of year..the brisk fall air, pumpkin lattes,halloween…

  739. I think your little cotton animals have magic in them, it makes you want to see them every now and then

  740. A happy moment – I was well underway with a granny square blanket for my new neice/nephew due in a couple of weeks. My 8 year old daughter snuggled up and I taught her how to crochet so she could say she had made some of the blanket too.

  741. Hi once again Julie. I love my hot tea, shopping thrift stores with my brother Chuck and openning your emails and seeing your adorable animal smiling at me. Thank you for your gift of joy. Happy Fall.

  742. They are really gorgeous, you have such a talent. I particularly like the rabbit with the brown radiating stripes, so sweet. It’s always the little things that make me happy, sunshine, bright colours, a kind word or gesture, a lovely meal, good times with friends. 🙂

  744. I love your knitted foxes the best.
    Things that make me happy are my old cat Fank curled up on my lap, looking at images of beautiful knitting (lie yours) on the iPad, and low humidity days (a rarity in the American southeast!). I really appreciate your blog!

  745. Sitting in my favorite chair with some embroidery and a hot coffee makes me very happy…adding “Downton Abbey” to the mix just makes me deliriously so!

  746. Things that make me happy: your lovely blog pictures, water whether in a glass or at the beach, sunshine on my face, children laughing, birds flitting in the trees, biking down hill and feeling the breeze push up against my face, and feeling a good peaceful tiredness at the end of the day so that when my head hits the pillow I fall asleep.

  747. I feel happy when Ive gotten my garden all weeded then the flowers and veggies are proud and pretty. I also enjoy going to a nice yarn shop and ooohhing and aahhhing [not to mention squeezing] the pretty wool and such : )

  748. What makes me happy is all my little real bunnies…they all have different personalities but are all sweet and loving! I have a couple posted on my blog if you want to see them… I love to blog, find vintage treasures, decorate and create.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for a chance to win one of your treasures!
    Kindredly, Lynnie

  749. Right now, what makes me happy is knitting sweet baby things for my little boy who will be with us in 5 short weeks. He has a heart defect and we will be in the hospital for a while, but making things for him makes me happy. Making things for all of my children makes me feel connected to them in a special way.

  751. Happy 7th Birthday, what a lovely blog.Your animals are absolutely adorable.
    What make me happy is my family’s laughter. Walking in the mountains. Sleeping in sun dried sheets. And taking up knitting again.

  752. Your bunnies are the absolute best! I would love to be one of the lucky ones to own one. I collect bunnies and one of yours would top off my collection! As always, love your site.

  753. The cool days and nights of autumn are making me happiest, at the moment. A cup of hot tea and my knitting is a bonus. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win one of your precious rabbits. I love all their outfits and sweet expressions.

  754. Enjoying precious time with my grandchildren, knitting, reading, paddle boarding, great cup of coffee, warm afghan and watching Downton Abbey….can’t wait for January!!!!

  756. Wow, what an opportunity. I love your designs and wish there were patterns. I am inspired by life. We have been through a bout of cancer with my husband but yesterday we had a 6 month checkup of remission. Life is wonderful when your best friend is well and can enjoy life with you.

  757. Happy Anniversary! What relaxes me: sitting alone outside with a cup of tea while staring into nothingness or embroidering/hand stitching something. All the best, xxxxx

  758. I love my cats. When there wasn’t enough in my, they gave me unconditional love, the best available this side of Heaven. I call them “angels in fur suits.”
    God bless you for sharing your life with others.

  759. My kids make me happy. Just knowing that they are healthy and content is when I feel the most blessed.
    (I love your animals—thank you for sharing them with us.)

  763. I am such a fan! Someday one of your little lovelie’s will com and live with me, his/ her room is already!

  764. Without a doubt all things fiber make me happy, I knit everyday and if I didn’t I would need to take medication, knitting soothes me…
    Your kindness also makes me happy, sharing your stories, your success and your strife, you are a hero

  765. Your lovable creatures are a treat to behold! What I love to do best is create my little memory boxes from bits and bobs that inspire me. I’ve followed your blog from day 1 and admire how your knitting business has grown….congratulations on your 7th anniversary!

  767. Thanks for a generous give away! Everything in balance (work, home, time with the kids, time with my husband and time for myself) makes me happy. That and a sunny day will do it!

  768. Rainy days make me happy. Which I know is not normal, but I love cloudy, cuddling weather and the smell of the rain. 🙂

  769. Love anything that lets me be with my family and friends. Warm, sunny day. Being near the water. Biking. Knitting. My cats, cooking, being lazy, sleeping… the list goes on. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creations with us 🙂

    GRAZIE PER L’ATTENZIONE
    ANNALISA

  773. What a bunch of animal cuties! What makes me the most happy are my children and grandchildren. They are all a delight (maybe I’m biased). On the creative front, quilting and knitting. I’ve only been knitting for a couple of years, but find it oh, so relaxing. I am conquering socks at the moment. I love your blog!

  775. What makes me happy? Knitting, my kids’ smiles, digging potatoes out of the garden, the first fire of the season in the fireplace, and of course, ice cream.

  776. Knitting by the fireplace with snow falling outside, a cat on my lap, and a cup of coffee on the sidetable. Also – spending time with my hubby and grown kids!
    Happy Anniversary, Julie! Love your blog and your sweet creations.

  777. I love spending time with my family,reading good books, knitting blogs…especially yours, and also reading cooking blogs.

  778. I love your bunny rabbits. I don’t have one yet, but….someday.
    What makes me happy is fabric. And quilting. Love to sew and look at quilts on flickr and pinterest.

  779. Knitting lace shawls and knowing that all 6 of my children are safe ( my son is a Navy SEAL)
    makes me happy! I also love long walks with my husband on the beach and warm sunny weather.
    And I love your rabbits 🙂

  781. Sitting sewing “felty things!” makes me very happy. At the moment I am sewing felt decorations for the Christmas tree. The aim is to have a complete home made tree… but notice that I haven’t specified a year!

  782. Yowza! Look how many people have commented!! You are amazing my darling Julie! So many people love your creations. That has to make you just a tiny bit happy! 😀
    What makes me happy. I would have to say listening to The Native’s giggle and laugh. It’s an instant happiness pill. You can’t hear it and stay frowny for too long.
    I got all excited when I saw you’d been able to put your feet up for a tidge and stop by and comment. That also always makes me happy!

  783. The things that make me happy are spending time with my grandkids, knitting, and anything at the beach.

  784. First off, I think your knitting is magical! Your animals exude peace. I spent all of last week in the hospital with my 14 yr old daugter who is so sick right now. She has been for the past year. She needed peace. I needed peace. I began knitting a blanket for her. I wish I could knit a little friend for her that brings comfort. If I don’t win, then hopefully I’ll be able to purchase one of your labors of love. You really are magical!
    Love, a fellow mom and knitter
    Chari

  785. What makes me happy…my family, seeing other artist’s creations and always working on some of my own. 🙂

    Some of the little things that make me happy are thunder and lightning, (re)reading children’s books, meeting fellow travellers and hearing their stories, the reflection of clouds in a pool of rain and buying gifts for others!

  789. Hi Julie! Your creations are as Beautiful as ever… please come to America to give a class one day! 🙂 London 2012 was an amazing experience, the city was absolutely breathtaking and had an energy that I have never experienced on past visits. PS – thank you for the yarn shop tips!

  793. Your little animals are amazing. They always make me smile! I love color and textures (they make me happy). So many things to be thankful for – right now I am thankful for the time and ability to create. Thank you for your blog that is so visually beautiful and inspiring and your willingness to share the hard things in life.

  794. What makes me happy is getting home after a long day at work or being out and about, turning on calming music and just glorying in the feeling of being at home with my family.
    This might be your most adorable batch of rabbits yet!

  798. I love your new animals Julie, thanks for sharing. Little things that make me happy are: getting cuddles with my little dog Ruby, discovering the first shoots of my vegetable seeds popping through the soil, watching the birds feeding on the nuts and seeds in my garden.

  799. I can hardly believe it, but a few of your little cotton rabbits have been a part of my son’s menagerie for almost 5 years now. They’ve gone through a lot together, including my son’s diagnosis of juvenile diabetes a couple years ago. Despite his medical issues, he is a very happy child and that in turn makes me very happy.
    Good wishes to you and happy blog-iversary!

  823. I do many types of handcrafts, and I have to say I can find very little in life that is as peaceful as sitting with a cup of tea or coffee and knitting, crocheting, embroidering, beading, or hand sewing. Especially outside on a nice day or tucked in by a window on a stormy day! I wish I had more time for it 🙂

  826. What inspires me is my husband, warm sunny summer days, beautiful sunsets and soft snuggly yarn to knit with.
    I would love to be entered to win a beauty bunny.

    Tack för ordet.

  830. Just going to your page and seeing the adorable animals. I can’t tell you how many times I have made a screen saver out of a picture you posted.
    I savor working on a hand applique project, which is something I fit into almost everyday, as it just feels so good to work, even for 15 minutes.

  832. I love all of your creatures each and everyone is beautiful, i am not gifted when it comes to knitting although my dear mum was and speedy too which i probably why i am not as could never have met her standard which was beautiful. oysi am back at work now at a school for pupils with behaviourbegissues also lots with ASD diagnosis and Aspergers etc. I hope that now toby is back at school your days are more relaxed. My relaxation is going horseriding with my grandson, we have just begun to share a lesson which is great fun. bw Loraine

  834. What brings me joy and inspiration? Gardening, food preserving, knitting and sewing… most of all, my daughters, now grown and away, and my son, who is forever with me. At nearly 33, with autism and other developmental disabilities, many things are hard for him, but seeing him grow and change, find interests I could never have believed he would have, inspires and amazes me.
    A day picking tomatoes or at a folk festival trying foods; an afternoon watching him play a team sport, or an evening with him watching sports on television; that’s what inspires, what brings joy.
    Then, when life is all too much, the Little Cotton Rabbits remind me of simpler times! Thank you!

  862. I’ve been following you for a while and think your animals are amazing. My happiest time of the week is probably Sunday morning. Lying in bed surrounded by my snoozing boys and the cat. Simply the warmest, cosiest feeling.

  863. I love all your rabbits…..they are the best!

    What little things make me happy? Walking in the woods, puttering in the garden, knitting, beautiful colors, playing around with fabrics and quilting, hot cups of tea, reading, riding my bike, the birds I feed, bright blue skies dotted with white clouds, yoga and stretching, and dark chocolate. To name a few. 😉

  871. What an amazing collection of little characters! What I love, coffee shops with second hand books, the perfect match.

  872. I love hand piecing and quilting as a way to make me feel happy- a cup of coffee, something like Morse on the telly and I’m blissfully content. Your animals are so beautiful; I just love their little faces and I’m full of admiration at their expressions. It’s just bits of yarn, how do you manage it? Amazing….

  873. The older I get the more I appreciate the simple things: Family and friends, the beauty of nature, an act of kindness…

  874. The knit sneakers!!! Too much cuteness.
    What makes me happy are: my three house rabbits, Wenet, Gulliver, and Cricket; sewing and crocheting; READING!; my over-abundance of houseplants; my wonderful husband; molasses sugar cookies; and lazy days with NetFlix! What makes my husband happy is that at least he ranked above the molasses sugar cookies. 😉

  875. Love your work, Julie! You are so talented.
    What makes me happy…great cup of coffee or tea, time on the boat fishing with my hubby, reading a great book, trying a new recipe, solitude and quiet time and of course knitting!

    The little things that make me happy are knitting, talking, and when I can come up with a new knitting pattern!
    I love your animals so much, I’ve been reading your blog for years, but I’ve never bought or won one of your animals. It would be awesome if I did.
    Sophia

    My inspiration is too see my kids having a good time, beeing healthy and well. My son in the middle got a cancer diaognose three years ago. He has now recovered from that, and too see him play football and having a good time inspire me.

  888. Being with my grown up children makes me happy, feeling the sunshine on my face, singing to the radio as I drive to and from work, and dancing makes me happy. We have four littens to bring up and they are a delight, what a lovely experience it is to see them grow and develop. You make lovely toys! I enjoy making them too, but on a much slower basis. thank you for sharing them with us.

  889. Tiny things make me happy. Whether a teeny tiny acorn or a tiny teapot. I just need glasses to see them now that I’m in my 50s!

  890. Your little bunnies and bears are so adorable! I’d love to win one for my expected grand daughter!
    Hope all will be well in your world very son! {{Hugs}} Pat

  891. Congratulations on your six years of blogging. Things that make me happy are knitting, reading, baking and the beautiful fall season.

  892. Having time to sit in my conservatory to do some knitting, crochet or sewing.
    Also collecting vintage embroidery pieces such as tablecloths etc makes me happy.
    Congratulations to you Julie, you are a very talented lady.

  893. I love knitting socks. I’m spending my children’s inheritance on beautiful sock yarn. Wouldn’t they rather have the finished socks?

  894. My wonderful husband, my three beautiful daughters, my mischievous black house rabbit and all my lovely friends make me happy.
    Knitting, embroidery, reading, patchwork and quilting make me happy.
    All in all I feel very lucky – I am a very happy bunny!

  895. I love sewing short projects that keep me satisfied during the day when I am not caring for my two on the autism spectrum. Currently sewing personal size Christmas Stockings for other moms of autism in our local community.

  896. Sunshine through the rain and feeling fabric especially if it is old and worn, love old cotton pillowcases!

  898. The little things make me happy… The perfect cup of tea, my cat snuggling on my lap on a cold evening, finding a new project to try, a cwtch from my nephews/neice, a surprise letter in the post, a new blogpost on my favourite blog… x

  899. Congratulations on your blogiversary! What a cute bunch!! I always look forward to reading your posts. Happiness for me is enjoying cuddles with my family and relaxing with my knitting.

  901. I am torn between your elephants and foxes…. but all your creations are lovely
    I love to craft, walk in the woods or by the sea,travel,read,or just spend time with my 3 year old.
    Thank you x

  902. Being able to bake something makes me happy! And ever since becoming a mum, watching my baby makes me happy!! The simple things in life!

  903. As usual, your animals are so cute! What makes me happy is being with my family and my boyfriend, knitting or crocheting soft yarn, sleeping late in the morning, drinking hot chocolate,… Keep writing your blog, it’s always nice to read you!

  904. Too cute for words, I think one of your sweet creations would find a very happy home with us here in Montreal 🙂

  905. Gosh – I’m the 904th one to comment. You have quite a following – and so many people admire your artistic talent. Even though I consider myself a “knitter”, no way could I make the cute animals and bears that you do – every person who leaves a comment would give one a good home. The things that make me happy are loving my husband, two beautiful gown up daughters, one son-in-law, my two kitties, my extended family and knitting, photography and making jewelry. I have several more, but this is long enough. Julie, you have so many people who support you on your journey that God has given you. Please know you are remembered in my prayers.
    Joan from Wisconsin

  906. Happy Anniversary! I so enjoy entering your world and have learned much from your sharing. My prayers are with you and your family. Your little creations are more than fantastic.
    Blessings,
    Kay

  908. I love spending quite time in my garden, even if just weeding! The little animals are so cute! You are very gifted Julie.
    Thanks
    Susie

  909. I love everything you create, your talent is truly amazing.
    What makes me happy, everyday that I learn something new, the sounds of nature while sitting at night on the grass. Knowing the older I get the better I get.
    Thank you for blogging, I enjoy reading even your smallest posts.

  910. Hi Julie, I love to knit, crochet and read! Oh and read knitting mysteries! Your blog inspires me and a Happy Blogoversery!!

  912. Hi Julie! What a beautiful picture! All your little animals looking at us!
    I enjoy to much my garden, my time to knit or crochet, time spend with family, and of course time for read blogs! I love yours so much!

  914. Hand sewing, machine sewing, simply stacking fabrics or even just sitting quietly in my sewing room – these little things make me happy, and I consider myself lucky to have learned to find pleasure in simple things. I love reading your blog – happy anniversary!

  917. I don’t know if my comment posted or not… it was taking a long time to post and then I accidentally navigated away. Therefore, I shall post again! I love your foxes so much! I love all of your knitted animals, but your foxes are forever my favorite.

  919. I love making little sewn or quilted things–zipper bags, wallets, and other little things. And, I love your rabbits. I’ve been collecting rabbits of all sort for over 35 years, and I’ve become more selective as the years go by. But, I’d love to adopt one of your bunnies.

  920. I teach first grade, and all those sweet little hard working faces inspire me everyday. In my class I have four little bunnies with knitted sweaters that my little girls absolutely adore. Your little pets would get soooo much love. I can already imagine the giggles, smiles, and imaginative story lines.

  921. I enjoy new knitting patterns, gardening in the sun, and reading a good book. I am inspired by everything in nature, my children, and friends. Thank you for the chance to win a lovely little animal!

  922. Congratulations on your 7th anniversary of blogging and also thank you for the wonderful eye candy that you give us. My love and joy is my family and when I find time
    find peace doing my needlework and my gardening. I love your little menagerie of animals. They always make me smile.

  923. My sweet 2 year old grandson brings me more joy than I could ever have imagined! Owning one of your oh so cute bunnies would bring me a big heaping of extra joy:)

  924. You are so very talented, and I love your creations! I am currently knitting your little Christmas stockings free pattern as small gifts/ornaments, but I am always interested to see what you are up to. Many thanks for the inspiration!

  925. When I am sitting in bed watching t.v. and my westie and cat are right next to me….I think life does not get much better than this because I see and know how much they love me as i do them.I am truly lucky for everthing!

  926. I’ve been reading you for years. Please keep blogging even though I know you are terribly busy otherwise.
    What makes me happy? Finally becoming a mommy after YEARS of thinking it would never happen. Sitting in a sunbeam. Going for a long walk in nature. Lots of sleep. Trashy romance novels.
    Your animals are gorgeous. I only wish I could knit that well.

  927. I love spending time with my family….even if we just stay home and watch a good movie. I also enjoy receiving handmade items. It means a lot to me to know that someone took the time out of their busy day to make something for me.

  928. Quality knitting time, friends and family make me smile. Running a little further, pushing myself a little harder.
    Also the hope of someday being able to adopt one of your wonderful creations – just keep trying 🙂

  929. They are just darling sitting in those drawers. They just bring a smile to my face. What little things make be happy…doing a little act of kindness or encouragement for someone, taking my morning walk with my pocket full of “treats” for the dogs I meet, setting a pretty table, making a card for someone special, spending time with my husband and family. Thanks for the chance to win and letting us share in your delight.

  930. A hedgehog! How wonderful, can’t wait to see him. I love books and creating. I make to many different things to narrow it down. Just creating makes my soul soar!

  931. I am GREATly happy tonight since receiving word that our first GREAT-grandchild will be born in April!!! A gender neutral animal would be a lovely giftie for our new and first GREAT grand!!
    Thank you for this generous opportunity.
    🙂

  932. When I need a boost of happiness, I come to your site and look at your little animals. They are such a joy to look at! You can’t help but smile!

  934. Truly beautiful knitted animals. The best I have seen. What makes me happy? Quietly on my own knitting, crocheting and embroidering. Looking at lovely soft coloured flowers and Lavender makes me very happy.Hugs. Shirley

  935. Kaffe Fasset had his own exhibition at the Victoria and Albert, and I truly believe there should be an exhibition of your work there, too, alongside Beatrix Potter’s paintings. You do in yarn what she did with water colours.
    Happiness is a good book, a good knitting project and the time to enjoy them.

  936. What makes me happy..My Children! They are grown now..my nest is empty. Well..Kinda, I do have 3 cats, 1 dog and a chicken. But, a day spent with my two children..brings me joy like no other. My heart jumps right in beat with theirs. It is a gift from God like no other…
    I have so enjoyed your blog and your animals are so precious! Maybe one will skip accross the miles and end up in my mailbox:)

  937. Checking into the knitting blogs makes me happy and inspires me to work on my projects. I love your anmals and check in often to see what you’re up to Spending an aftenoon with a good friend, a cup of tea and my knitting – it really doesn’t get much better.

  938. Congratulations. I love doing any type of handwork, i.e. knitting, quilting, embroidery and anything to do with nature.

  939. Soft pastel wool, gentle rain, smiling babies, being creative, trying hard, an old favorite book, dunking a biscuit, comfy pj’s, and your rabbits, ellies and bears, oh my!

  940. it is so nice to see so many people commenting on your blog hoping to win one of your beautiful kniited animal/friends. For me, knitting and reading a great book along with a cup of tea make me really happy!

  941. Oh my! Congratulations on your anniversary! 7 years is a long, long time.
    I get immense satisfaction from pressing a sharp crease, and from ironing in general. There’s just something about making wrinkly fabric smooth or smooth fabric pleated that gratifies me no end. 🙂
    Thank you so much for such a generous giveaway!
    (I hope my comment didn’t get posted twice, the comment box had a wibble when I tried to post earlier.)

  942. I love my children most of all, raising them has brought many laughs and a few tears too. Any craft brings me joy, I pretty much have a go at anything, at the moment I’m really enjoying face painting which my kids are only too happy about, I always have a willing model to practice on. Your little animals are lovely, I’m crossing my fingers that soon one will come join us

  944. I too have been following your blog for years! Happy anniversary!
    Things that make me happy… Foxes, a good book, scrapbooking, chatting with a loved one…

  946. Once again I am blown away by how gorgeous your little creations are! True happines for me comes from the innocence of my children, cuddling my bunnies, chickens, children, dog and husband (not necessarily in that order!) and an afternoon chipping away at all my half finished sewing endeavours, from teddy bears to stumpwork to quilts to knitting.

  947. Wonderful wee animals as always Julie. Happiness is a walk in the woods with my 2 West Highland Terriers.

  948. Here I am, comment 948 which gives me a very tiny chance of winning one of your charming critters. Never mind, I’d happily purchase as well!

  949. ….. family and friends,sunshine in the garden , patchwork quilts , a cup of tea …… and kisses x

  950. Admiring your cute little creations make me happy. I can feel the love and attention that goes into each and every one of them & would absolutely love to be the proud owner of one!

  952. all so cuddly and beautiful!
    these are a few of my favourite things… knitting, blue skies and sunny days, rainbows! DOUBLE rainbows! singing in the rain and jumping in puddles… 😉 days with family – nights with friends, hot water bottles, cuddling with my boyfriend by the fireplace, kicking crunchy autumn leaves, forget-me-nots, baby animals, long walks with my bouncy springer spaniel Kipper, fish and chips! hot chocolate with whipped cream yummmmm… a good book, a great film, love letters by snail mail… snowballs and sledging, sandy beaches and clear blue seas… sunsets… nibbling babies toes… my plane landing safely… happy memories 🙂

  953. The simple stuff is the best….I love reading my kindle with my 3 rescue cats cuddled up to me and a nice cup of tea x

  954. You knit the most beautiful rabbits! What I am loving right now is watching Spring’s arrival in my garden. This change of season brings with it summer crops to plant and new flowers to enjoy. Sam xox

  955. Your animals are stunning!
    A warm bath, warm PJs, a frothy coffee (and my knitting of course!) in the sanctuary of home makes me happy!

  959. I love every one of your precious creations. I relax by holding a sweet baby or knitting. Thank you so much for sharing a bit of your life with us.

    Lenka

  963. I love your animals and they/you inspire me to knit. My husband, dogs, crocheting, knitting and cycling make me happy.

  964. I too would love to win a bunny, they are just beautiful. I love to knit and crochet, and it makes me happy when I finish something! But, as a mother of two young children, one of whom refuses to sleep, the thing that makes me happiest is sleep!!
    Kate.

  966. I’m inspired and reenergized by the arrival of autumn. It’s so welcome after the oppressive heat of summer.

  967. I am having so much fun making things for my grandchildren. They are definitely the “frosting on the cake”. Your little animals are just adorable!

  969. What makes me happy… Walking by the sea, searching for shells with my 2yrd old. Hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A really good book or movie and the remotest chance of owning one of your lovely creations!!

  973. I love reading blogs, sharing in anothers happy moments and creations, dreaming of those I hope to make and share again with others, passing on the joy. Blogs like yours make me happy, thanks Judith xxx

  977. 976 comments in front of me, wow so many ( well that does not make me happy lol) but what does make me happy is my kids, knitting and sleeping ha!

  978. Lovely animals as always Julie. I am happy when I know my family is safe, I have knitting on the go with a pot of tea by my side. Pure bliss.

  979. I love to make things which I sell for charity – at last, an outlet for my creative side!!

  980. I’m happy when I knit a Teddy bear and the feet are the same size 🙂 I love how you make the feet.

  982. Falling asleep with my face to the sun on a beautiful late summer’s day makes me happy – oh, and planning my next project! Your blog is so inspirational!

  988. Happy Anniversary! Looking at your sweet bunnies’ faces makes me happy. Sitting on my deck, knitting, with my three Shelties sharing the sun with me always makes me happy, especially if one of them is curled up next to me on the sofa!

  989. Your rabbits are Beautiful…7 year….wow….
    I love knitting too. It help me think and organize my thoughts.
    Happy anniversary

  990. things that make me happy are: —— my children, even though they are now sooo big and (sometimes very grumpy) teenagers!!, watching Newcastle United win at home, really good chocolate and a latte from a posh shop, pink lipstick!! (that one is so frivolous ha, ha), hearing a choir sing – like a Welsh male voice choir – amazing and spine tingling!!
    lots of love debbie xxxxxx

  991. Too many things to list make me happy but I’ll start but probably won’t finish! Having two grown up happy children doing their own things and thoroughly enjoying life, a gem of a husband, being inspired by your blog – your little animals are works of art, the children I work with achieving their goals, knitting, inspiring children to knit, seeing all the lovely ladies at our local hospice craft group being so generous with their time and talent for the craft events they attend to raise funds and just being at home – I love it.

  996. Your animals are so beautiful. Why don’t mine ever look so good? You are so talented. Here’s wishing you many more years of blogging and creating.
    Anne

  997. Things that make me happy….family and friends, reading lovely crafty blogs, squirrels, butterflies, fresh food, holidays, losing weight, cake (those last two are constantly in conflict!) and having a good book on the go……

  999. Congratulation to your 7th year of blogging – looking forward to seeing and reading more 🙂
    There are lots of things, which make me happy, but to make somebody smile by smiling is one of my fave.

  1000. Love the bunny’s very cute! Am currently loving the weather warming up ready for Summer here in Australia x

  1001. I love your animals, they are so cute! Sitting doing hand work on my small quilting projects makes me happy.

  1003. Oh that’s so spooky there were 999 comments when I started to write this. On your worst days, you ate much loved, by your family and indeed by the blog world. Loved and read the magazine article. I would live to win a cotton rabbit creation. They remind me of the spirit to overcome and adapt on the face of adversity. 1000th comment? Who knows. 1000 messages telling you of your skills and well loved talents. X

  1004. i’m happy when both my daughters are happy.your blog is inspirational i have looked at it for years and this is the first time i have been brave enough to leave a comment. i have started knitting again since a child and bought your pattern for the cupcake its sooo not as goos as yours but i have enjoyed doing it thank you xxx

  1005. My husband, my cats. Finding time to knit.
    Sometimes just being able to be still. Things are so hectic so often, time that is quiet and peaceful makes me happy.

  1007. Like you, knitting with Radio 4 on in the background. Or Frank Skinner’s podcast on Absolute radio on my ipod. If there’s a cake in the oven or millionaire’s shortbread on the go then life’s pretty much perfect for me.

  1009. Many things make me happy.As the mom of three young kids, one thing that makes me really happy is time home alone to read or knit with a great cup of hot coffee! I also love my two dogs snuggled on my lap.
    Your animals are amazing!!!!!!

  1010. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your very cute little animals!!!! I am most happy spending time with my family, gardening and cooking (but not the cleaning up!).

  1011. I find your blog quite inspiring. You have a lot on your plate but remain mostly cheerful and make such lovely knitted and crocheted items. I think your family are lucky to have you holding everything together. I wish you happiness, strength and peace.
    Carol

  1012. Your bunnies are so adorable! What makes me happy was my beautiful pet bunny, Pom Pom, who was ginger with grey – now no longer, so now it is our new little ball of fluff, Snow Cloud, so friendly like our last one that when I leave the room I have to be careful not to step on him! Thank you for giving the world your lovely creations.

  1013. Spring, in the southern hemisphere here, makes me happy, getting back to nature amongst the flowers before the intense heat of the summer arrives! Love your work 🙂

  1015. what makes me happy? well i’m staying with friends for the weekend and have plans of an open fire, my crochet, yummy chicken cacciatore (not sure if that’s correctly spelt?!) and good conversation – the perfect start to holidays for me!
    i love reading your blog, watching you create these LOVELY creatures and hearing about your little part of the world, thanks for sharing!

  1017. Well, little Faina the fox, purchased from you awhile back and much loved, could surely use a knitted companion! Just sayin’! 🙂

  1020. I’d love to have one!
    I love quiet mornings when my five children are at school or sleeping.
    I love my little corner of knitting and sewing in my sunny kitchen.

  1021. What make’s me happy???
    Giving to others,
    Happy thoughts of quite moments
    Inspiring others
    Creating
    Pinterest
    Inspiring blogs
    Doing things just for me
    Sharing
    Meals with family and friends
    Reading and watching movies with my boys
    Loving the person I am
    and…..
    as I am an aged care nurse making a positive difference in everybody’s life I come into on a daily
    basis,
    and that’s just to name a few…….

  1022. Your rabbits and just precious! I can see I need to get busier on my knitting skills, so that I can learn to knit such cute things for my grandchildren. I’m a long-time crocheter, but fairly new knitter. I’m glad I found your blog!

  1023. Things from nature inspire me–like shells, nuts, acorns, grasses–and then I put them inside where they can mingle with little stuffed animals, embroidered pieces and small dolls. The things I loved as a kid I still love. Thanks for the chance to win one of your cutie-pie animals!

  1027. I am inspired by other people’s talent and love looking through blogs at what people have been creating. It gives me inspiration to do projects I might not have thought of doing myself.

  1028. Happy Anniversary!
    Crafting, finished craft projects and relaxing with friends, having tea and treats make me happy.

  1029. Your creations make me smile! Your bog is saved as a “Favorite” and not many are so you have reached that lofty position!!

  1030. Hi! I really love your bunnies! Super cute! As for what makes me happy, well, I cannot live without my knitting. I’m also a geocacher who loves long walks in nature.

  1031. I’ve followed your blog for over a year now but never left a comment, guess I’m just shy even over the internet. But this time, I will try my luck and hopefully win one of your precious animals. What makes me happy is spending time with the people I love, most of which are my family and close friends. As I’m writing this I’m looking forward to a day filled with one of my most favorite activities of the year. Today my parents, my sister, and me are heading to upstate New York for a day of apple and pumpkin picking. Probably one of the most memorable of our family traditions and even at age 26, I feel giddy with excitement. When we return home after enjoying a nice crisp fall day exploring the orchards, I will help my mom cook a delicious family dinner which will include the year’s first batch of our ever favorite recipe for pumpkin bread. It’s days like today that make me happy!

  1032. I love blue skies, the sun shining and time to do some knitting.
    Thanks for the chance to win a gorgeous creature.

  1033. Evening sunshine, macaroni cheese and any kind of knitting make me happy. Oh, and the change of the seasons and Christmas. Most of all I’m happiest when those around me are happy too.

  1034. Things that make me happy are walking in the Peak District, cozy winter nights, camping, making things and my husband.
    Happy 7th year!
    Claire

  1035. Finishing the week’s lesson plans on Saturday tea time and knowing Sunday is just for me and my knitting needles.

  1036. Seriously gorgeous bunnies! I’m just imagining how the hedgehogs will turn out 🙂 kudos for your patience & skills.. I tried making a badger recently (..well, the fox went okay so why not? Can’t be that much harder.. right?) after 4/5 incredibly frustrating days I’ve ended up with a huge bag full of very peculiar grey & cream shapes. Luckily I had mother coming to stay for a few weeks otherwise I may still be fighting with greys and my bag of odds might still be growing. Respect for your beautiful little creations!
    I’ve been rather ill over the last 18 months, so appreciating the little things is great therapy, esp as Im 24 & rarely go out these days. So things that make me happy atm are good books, brilliant & supportive friends, my flegling hobbie of knitting and crochet, cranberry cookies, dare I say.. morphine..? hmm.. my growning yarn stash! I’m trying not to feel guilty about this so have to keep looking at all the power tools in the garage..

  1037. It’s a rainy day and I have a roast to prepare, today we are having roast pork with crunchy crackling and homemade apple sauce. I also plan to make some time for knitting always a treat when the weather is gloomy – at the moment I am knitting easy bunting for the pre-school book area which is a real treat after my last project which was a challening knitted union jack – sometimes its nice not to have to think too much about a pattern and let your mind wander to other things. Have a great Sunday everyone.
    Davina x

  1038. I love your creations, they have to be the cutest on the internet, as to what makes me happy – I enjoy any kind of crafting and really enjoy challenging myself to learn new crafts, at the moment I’m teaching myself to crochet.

  1039. Oh, they are so adorable! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
    Your rabbits make me happy, as well as Pilates, walking with my dog in the sunshine and scones with fresh jam and cream. 🙂

  1040. I love seeing your photos of the finished Little Cotton Rabbits. They make me so happy. I had to look twice to see how you managed it… then I realized you used drawers. How very clever. Congratulations on the new completed batch of bunnies.
    Autumn makes me happy. I love the cool, crisp air. I love watching the leaves change color. I love being outside with a sweater or fleece and a handknit hat. I love apple picking with my family – and then our traditional week long activity of making apple butter. Fall makes me happy!

  1041. You are a brave and very talanted whoman, you truly make sweetest animals and bring joy not only to kids but for adults, who doesn’t love them? God blesses you, your child and all your family.

  1042. What makes me happy : the sun on my skin, the laugh of my son and to see him growing, the eyes of my husband when he looks at me, the nature, good eating and lovely and pretty things as your little knitted friends. So perfects !

  1044. Sitting down with a cup of tea to read your blog. I also enjoy knitting and have begun to learn to sew. Please put me into the draw for one of your lovely little animals.

  1045. My Mum and Dad have just finished decorating my bedroom, that has made me happy! And I would love one
    of your bunnies to sit on my new white bed x

  1047. I found your blog through the Quiet Home. Your work is lovely the new quilt is a lovely colour combination. I can understand why your animals are in such high demand. The thing that makes me happy is crafting.
    Bev

  1048. What makes me happy….it used to be doing a bit of sewing every day, but now that I have my new bubba, it’s cuddling him 🙂
    Thanks for your giveaway!!

  1053. UauHHHHHHHH!!!. How can it be in that way????…I’m the number 1.053..I have not seen that before…..
    What makes me happy first of all it’s the peace in the world, share the time with my family and after of course i love patchwork, crochet and hand made things .
    Congratulations in your 7 years blog….
    Love your knitting animals…are you seling your patterns…
    Hugs and thnaks form Spain

  1054. Wow! What an impressive number of comments! I was going to say “incredible” but then I thought about it and decided it wasn’t incredible at all that so many people would leap at the chance to win one of your amazing creations – but goodness, you have to read them all!! Thank heavens for automatic number generators – imagine having to write out all those names!
    What makes me happy – sunshine and flowers and my family and fabric and yarn and a good book and of course my chickens!!!
    Much love, Lucy xx

  1055. I try to check every day to see what you have created, Julie. You actually inspired me to take up needles again after many years away from them. This time I decided to just use one needle and try to teach myself how to crochet. My grandmother was so skilled at all needlework but alas, I was not interested in learning any of her techniques when I was younger. Now I wish so much that I had her help when I run into difficulty understanding a pattern or stitch.
    What makes me happy …. spending time with my husband walking our whippets, especially now with our beautiful autumn weather. I do volunteer work with a nature organization which helps me to feel very happy and fulfilled as well.

  1056. My children and the Blue September Skies are my current sources of cheer and peace. Followed closely by crisp mornings with a cup of tea and watching the birds at the feeders. Then of course there’s your fuzzy little critters (and the scarves and mittens you knit for yourself) and the little snippets of life with Toby that inspire me as well.

  1058. Another beautiful & cute little batch of friends Julie.
    Downtime with friends, Illustrating, photography, bunnies, animals, cute things, crisp days, autumn sunshine, & generally chilling. Just a few things that make me happy! x

  1059. A good cup of coffee, a new ball of wool, a walk with the dogs whatever the weather and most of all I am indebted to the many friends who have rallied round and have kept me happy after the premature death of my much loved husband.
    All good wishes to you Julie, your family and your lovely, lovely rabbits.

  1063. Love your cotton pickin’ little rabbits. Crafting with my two daughters makes me HAPPY! Be it stitching, patchworking, baking, scrapbooking or painting 🙂 x

  1064. my son, he’s helped me get through a tough year after my husband was made redundant and our family of 5 became reliant on extended family…. he’s nearly one and a ray of sunshine.

  1069. Making my citrus scones or a dutch apple cake makes me deliriously happy. So does reading this blog and dreaming of getting a LCR – one with a primrose yellow dress perhaps…..

  1070. What makes me happy? Of course, my family and my faith in God and Jesus Christ, but kniting makes me happy although I don’t do it as well as you do. I’m knitting a pair of blue booties and I now have 8 done and they are all different. I am ripping some of them back hopefully to get 2 alike. I’m in awe over your bunnies.

  1071. What makes me happy? Sewing, drawing, painting and making with my nearly 5 year old daughter. Well actually, she just makes me happy – doing the things I love with the person I love most in the world is the icing on the cake I suppose.

  1074. Lovely animals! What makes me happy and inspires me is the smile of my son! Is the best thing after work! Hope to win one!

  1075. I love knitting and crocheting. But knitting is my favorite. Those hobbies, my children and grandchildren and your animals make me happy. Thanks for blogging, I am making the same afghan you are showing at the top of your page but my last round is blue like the old antique one. It looks very beachy to me.

  1077. Hi
    i love to find your blog again after my computer crash. i miss some blogs. hope to get one this time. ia m twink from holland. i will go look around some more,

  1078. I am thankful for your beautiful animals. They make me happy! And lately, a steaming cup of pumpkin spice coffee from my keurig in the chilly mornings. Life feels good right about then!

  1079. I love all things knitting and wooley. I have just started knitting with cotton . I love the little rabbits

  1080. Hi Julie, checking your blog and seeing you’ve posted makes me happy, honest! I feel sad when my favorite bloggers fall off for a long time. I promise if I win one of your lovelies I will make a good home for him/her. Thanks, Laura in sunny Florida

  1081. Hello!
    I love those little cuties you knit! I wish I could create something so lovely, I’ ve started crocheting and I really enjoy it, it feels like I’m resting!
    Keep up the wonderful job!
    Ioanna

  1082. I love a good book. Your animals are so very precious. I love my cat and her warm fur. I love to spend time with my husband. Thanks for your blog.

  1084. I always swoon when I see a group of your sweet rabbits and friends. My fingers are crossed that you might draw my name. They are also crossed that I might someday be able to purchase one of your little guys. Thanks for having a giveaway:)

  1085. I love cross-stich: it is such fun to see a design come alive, one stitch at time. When fall comes, I am happy to sit by the fire, stitch away, and forget the crazy world out there ;+) Thank you for the beautiful “family” picture!

  1086. My new found love is quilting! And in particular the spider web quilt I have just started, which seems very appropriate at the moment, what with all the webs I keep inadvertently walking into when I’m in the garden.

  1087. one thing that makes me happy is to choose new yarn, to sit crocheting or knitting hearing relaxing music, making someone happy with what I created.
    Always follow up your creations – simply fantastic.

  1088. I love your knitting. What makes me happy – my husband and our 2 dogs, reading, cooking, gardening, walking on a beach.

  1089. Julie your animals are exquisite. I also love your cupcake and hedgehog pattern on etsy. I’ve only just discovered this blog. Lovely. I would happily pay the shipping to U.S. if you should pick me.
    Knitting makes me happy – finishing a project – cup of tea in the afternoon, cup of espresso with a bit of foam in the morning while in my pajamas, travel, growing and eating my own vegies, nature, beautiful music, paintings, people who are passionate about what they do, a good book and the list goes on and on, kind people, my daughters.

  1090. Many congratulations on your anniversary!
    Things that make me happy…
    1. a very early morning walk with my whippity lurcher when nobody is around and the sun is coming up,
    2. the sea
    3. the countryside
    4. a day out with my brother and partner
    5. finding a bit of chocolate that I had hidden and forgotten about!
    6. the fact that I have finally found something that relaxes me and its something that I knew how to do and had forgotten about – knitting – especially the little hedgehogs from the pattern that you wrote.
    7. The happy faces on those who are given the little hedgehogs!
    8. Reading blogs
    I’ve just discovered that there are more things that make me happy than I thought!
    All the best for the next 7 years of blogs!
    Best wishes

  1091. truely gorgeous

  1092. Thanks for the chance to win one of your animals. So many little things make me happy but, as I’m typing this in one of the breaks, I’d say the new series of Downton is doing a great job!

  1093. The things that make me happy are my family, friends and peaceful time in nature. More specifically I really love a good hug or snuggle from my little cuties and to take a nice nap with the windows open on a mild summer day 🙂 I’m a total cheeser I know lol

  1094. A crisp sunday morning walk along the beach before going home and knitting by the fire with a hot cup of tea-a perfect happy time! 🙂

  1096. Hi, I love your animals, especially the bunnies, your work is beautiful, please add my name to the drawing, what makes me happy is my 5 children,& 5 grandchildren I love knitting, embroidery, crochet, tea & a good book, I have to have my quiet time too, we do so much for others we need to have our loves too, have a blessed day, vanessa in KY, USA
    I would love to win!

  1098. I am happiest when my hubby and children are contented and well; closely followed by stitching with good friends.
    Congratulations, too, on 7 years of blogging! A mighty fine achievement!! X

  1099. My daughter makes me happy, seeing her learn new things and discover the world around her is incredible to see.

  1101. I love your beautiful creatures all with their own personalities.
    Crafting with textiles,spending time with friends,hot chocolate
    and my gorgeous grandchildren all make me very happy.

  1102. Oh my word there are over 1100 comments… Congratulations of 7 years of lovely knitted, adorable critters!

  1104. Hi Julie, don’t your drawer full of animals just look adorable, your talent continues to amaze me. There is no doubt at all how popular your handwork is, just look at the number of comments for this post! I hopwe all is good with your family. xxBrenda

  1105. I’m happy while sitting on my deck with a cup of tea and watching the hummingbirds! Your blog is a source of inspiration, thank you for sharing!

  1106. I have read your blog for several years now and love, love, love your bunnies and other animals. I love when happiness surprises me, as I am trudging through life and something makes me smile, a childs smile, a soft wind, a co-workers laugh. Many things make me happy and it is different every time.

  1109. I love your creations – so beautiful.
    I am happy and inspired when everything is peaceful.
    P.S. I love your blog and your beautiful gracious attitude about life!

  1110. Crafting is what makes me happy – quilting, knitting, sewing, etc., etc. Your designs are the best! Thanks for sharing.

  1113. Thank you for the joy you create in these littles critters! You use your talents well and I hope they are always well loved in their new homes! God’s blessings!

  1114. What makes me smile – every time a little person marches off with a knitted hedgehog from my soft toy basket. They really are irresistable, so I let them take it home. Then I have an excuse to knit some cute new ones.
    Look at that foxy girl in her green dress – she’s up to some mischief, you can tell!

  1117. this is inspirational. As a lapsed crafter these are so sweet.
    My inspirations are
    My family, my cats and a love of life and all things made with love

  1120. Hi Julie,
    thanks again for the oppurtunity to own one of your absolutely beautiful creations! They are amazing.
    What makes me happy is listening to my daughter sing and crafting.
    Have a lovely day.

  1121. I absolutely love a day where i have nothing important to do and it’s horribly rainy and cold outside so i can get on with some sewing and get crafty making some bits and bobs 🙂
    I’ve always admired your knitting, really do think one of your little animals would fit in perfectly in my home 🙂
    Hollie xxx

  1122. My niece Elsie makes me happy and I love knitting for her. I think Elsie would love one of your knitted animals, they are so cute!

  1123. I like to sit down, certainly in autumn and winter , cup of tea at hand, do a little crochet, sew a bit. But i wish I could knit like you do, all those lovely animals!

  1124. Hi! The things that make me happy are peace and quiet, knitting, a walk on the beach or a beautiful mountain view. Last but not least – my family and little grandchild.

  1126. I love knitting on a project that I’m excited about with a nice up of coffee while listening to a book on tape or the radio. That’s a spot of happiness in my day. Reading your blog always makes me happy too. Your work is beautiful.

  1127. Would love to win….but so many comments have been left; no wonder, considering the prize! thanks for sharing your art.

  1128. So lovely.
    Things that make me happy. Knitting, baking, trying new crafts (most recently hand sewing hexagons – so peaceful), cross stitch, making Christmas presents, rainbows, bluebells and chatting with friends. So many things make me happy including, of course, your blog (love it).
    Happy 7th blog-birthday.

  1129. Simple things make me happy. Looking out of an open window and feeling the breeze on my face makes me feel alive. A snatched 30mins with a cup of coffee and needles in my hand – bliss. Happy clicking to all.

  1130. I so enjoy your blog, Julie. Your creativity is inspiring. What makes me happy is colour – I see it everywhere, and try to capture it in my feeble craft-making efforts.

  1131. I adore your bunnies and would love to have one in my home too! I think what makes me happy the most is travelling to interesting places around the world!

  1132. Wow your animals are so cute, my daughter has fallen in love with the elephant and has insisted we leave you a comment. Your blog gives me inspiration i am in the middle of making my own version of your Misty blanket, it’s the colours that do it for me. My happy moments are when you can snatch the odd crafty hour to let your needles go clickety click (heaven).

  1133. Making something with my hands…knitting, a painting, growing something in the garden, baking a cake. Oh, and listening to music that makes my heart sing 🙂

  1134. things that make me happy: a proper cup of coffee made by someone else, and the time to sit down and enjoy it, being cozy when it’s chilly outside, and cuddles from my 10-year old daughter, who is starting to get “far too grown up to need cuddles”!

  1135. Wow Julie what alot of comments you received!! Mind you im not suprised at all. Your little rabbits are so gorgeous and cute. I would sooo like to win one but i dont think i will
    😦
    Anyway you know i love your blog soo much.
    Take care Julie
    Love Carole from Rossendale xxxx

  1136. I absolutely adore your rabbits and what a talented lady you are.
    I enjoy cups of tea, knitting and craft and my garden.
    I can’t wait to see your next batch!!

  1137. I think I have been trying to buy one of your rabbits since 2005 or 2006. My goodness that is a long time. What do I like? Stitching, embroidery, my family, my friends. All the simple pleasures.

  1139. Oh what wonderful rabbits – wouldn’t it be lovely to own one. They all look gorgeous. The lovely autumn colours in gentle sunshine really lift my heart, and when they have fallen I cannot resist scrunching them when walking. Guess it will be a few days before this can happen with all the rain we all seem to be having in the UK. Look forward to seeing all your lovelies in more detail when they are for sale.

  1142. My 31 year old autistic son is coming to the end of his stay with me here in France. I brought him back with me on 10th September at the end of a few days in London staying with my other son and visiting the Paralympics, which we really enjoyed. We have had a really good time, he has been very helpful, stacking logs and helping me clear the barn which I have filled with ten years of junk, but he is now ready to go “home” to Somerset where he lives in a lovely house with other young adults and leads a busy life. So, tomorrow, I’ll hand him over to the Easyjet staff who will put him on the plane to Bristol, and although I’ll feel sad that’s he has gone, I’ll be happy that he is settled and has friends with whom to share his life. He’ll be back at Christmas.

  1143. Little Cotton Rabbits make me happy! Mostly if i’m sat under a blanket, tea in hand and a cat curled up at my side!

  1144. 5 minutes sit down to myself means a chance to drool over flickr/instagram and blogs…..to recharge the creative batteries to get me through the the tenser times!
    your animals look SO FULl of personality!!

  1146. awwww, these lovies are so sweet.
    I’m blessed with with the soul saving ability to find beauty wherever I go, so there are a ton of little things that make me happy. To name a few: the goofy squirrels chasing each other on the top of the picket fence, how my cat bumps me with his head when he wants attention, my 14 month old grandson, when he says “hi” and waves with his palm facing himself, the colours of autumn, trees that incorporate odd things like fences and rocks as they grow, the foghorn from the bay on snowy night

  1147. So adorable! Love, love, love the elephant!
    Music makes me happy. It has always helped make the black cloud over my head a little less black and sometimes even turns it into a puffy white cloud.

  1149. I love your blog. I visit several times a week (so I don’t miss anything). I love your bunnies, they are so adorable. My sister and I loved them the first time we ever saw them.
    I wish you had a book out too. It would be wonderful. I also love to hear about your family. You are a very kind and loving person.
    I love to knit, crochet, quilt and make jewelery.
    Life and my family make me very happy.
    I’m so glad I found your blog.
    God Bless you and Happy Anniversary.
    Best wishes,
    Aunt Bea

  1150. Oh I’ve found this post just in time! I would love one of these little knitted pretties of yours.
    Spending time with my family and eating treacle sponge with custard makes me happy. So does sewing, crocheting, reading and kissing…. as long as I’m warm! 🙂
    Have a good week. xxx

  1152. Hi Julie, thank you for sending a smile to my face every time I see one of your adorable creations. I would love to have one! God bless. xoxo

  1153. I adore these little creations of yours and wish I had your talent for design. I am a knitter and avid reader….thanks for your inspiring blog!

  1154. I too ADORE your little animals and have followed you for a long time! I enjoy crafting, wreathmaking, decorating and refurbishing old furniture! The fall and winter also make me happy! Yay for cooler weather and cuddling by the fire with my sweet littles and my hubby! Love your blog! God bless!
    Lesley

  1158. I am at my happiest when I am home with my knitting and watching Inspector Montalbano on the TV

  1160. Congratulations on 7 years of blogging!
    Things that make me happy are a visit from my dear grandchild,a sunny day,nice flowers ,a new craft,and I like to see your your beautiful hand works,you are really talented. I like to knit and quilting and I look forward to learning how to make waldorfdolls this autumn. Whish you all the best .

  1161. I love your blog. I visit several times a week (so I don’t miss anything). I love your bunnies. My sister and I fell in love with them the first time we saw them. I also love to hear about you and your family. You are a very kind and loving person.
    I love to knit, crochet, quilt and make jewelery.

    God Bless you and Happy Annivesary.

  1163. Your rabbits are wonderful, and oh, those foxes! My children and spaniels make me happy – and knitting and hand-written letters in coloured envelopes. Happy blog anniversary!

  1164. Love your bunnies. Happiness for me is lots of things – looking at clever and creative blogs that inspire, watching my 2 cats sunbathing, a cup of tea in the garden when home from work, a good book, a walk on the south coast beaches at the weekend and a hug from my husband, plus much more. Thanks for such lovely pictures and inspiration.

  1165. I hope I am sill in time to make my comment and in with a chance to receive one of your wonderful animals. I am quite new to knitting, my mum taught me when I was little but it is only in the last 2 years I have rediscovered the wonderful therapy which calms me when I am stressed and helps to put lifes worries into perspective. What makes me happy, well knitting of course and having my family around me. With them I feel I can take on the world. The simple things make me smile, dancing round the kitchen with my girls, salt and vinigar crisps with a jar of cockles, dandilion and burdock and singing Honky Tonk Women by the Pogues as loud as we can with my wonderful long suffering husband.

  1166. Another lovely post, more beautiful creations and a gorgeous photograph – your blog is truly a joy to read. What makes me happy is that feeling I get when i’ve just finished all my chores, when I know that the family is happy (when they’ve been fed and watered usually 🙂 )and when I get that wonderful moment to recline with a cuppa and some reading material or craft item of some description…bliss. If my family are with me when this happens, it’s even better.

  1167. I loved a rabbit with a carrot between her paws. She was called Myfanwy and of course she was real. She was given to the Dr Barnardo’s home, which I knew I shouldn’t have minded. But I wasn’t asked first.

  1168. Your little animals are just so sweet. I can’t resist looking at your blog frequently just to see their sweet faces. I love the monkeys! Some little things that make me happy are jam on toast with a hot cup of tea, knitting, reading, and watching my daughter dance.

  1169. Julie,
    I am happy when I see the wonderful photos of your work. Your creations are delightful and your blog is the only one I read. It’s one of life’s little pleasures. Thank you

  1171. Oh my goodness! Over a thousand comments! LOL!
    Well you asked what little things make me happy….
    I’m afraid going into autumn and winter isn’t one of them 😦
    I love sitting in the garden with a shawl round me, drinking tea and watching the sun set…. I didn’t get to do this much this year as we had so many mosquitoes I got bitten every time I went out!!!!
    I also like doodling and drawing with colour pencil, and I’m thinking of making some ACEOs to sell and some books out of felt, little ones… my beloved pusscat passed away 😦 he was my joy! -so I want to make a little book for his memory…
    It has been hard lately, and creative things help… looking at creative blogs helps too!!!!! And I so love your bunny wabbits 🙂

  1173. Love your work Julie! Congratulations with your blog’s birthday! What makes me happy is seeing my child happy, friendships and the ‘smaller’ things in life, like sunsets and the smell of autumn in the woods when I walk my dog.

  1175. Walking on the beach with Walter, knitting, autumn light, bonfees an woodsmoke….shall I go on?
    Happy blogging, Julie, always a pleasure to vsit here!
    Diana x
    (pebbledash…..I’ve changed my blog name!)

  1177. Cutest bunnies (…and foxes!) ever.
    What makes me happy is picking seeds from the catalogue, planning next year’s vegetable garden. Gets us through the cold, Canadian winters. Cheers for your blog!

  1178. I would love to win one of your wonderful animals! Right now knitting is what makes me really happy and grounded. I have explored many crafts but I love the portability of knitting. I love to knit for others and pass on the joy. Thanks for blogging. I love to read your entries.

  1180. I love crochet and how it puts a smile on my loved ones’ faces when I give them something that I’ve made. Crocheting is also the perfect way to wind down after a day’s work!

  1181. A free calendar, being on our own schedule, staying home, knitting, and grandchildren – Not necessarily in that order.

  1182. I found your Blog about 9 months ago and it is so nice to stop by and be inspired or just check in and see all of the beautiful things that are growing or being Knit and to see how your family is.
    Thank you for sharing .
    My favorite days are spending the day cooking, knitting and listening to garrison Keilor on the radio while the dog snuggles up to me.
    I wish you another 7 years of wonderful Blogging.

  1183. I’m happy with my nose in a book and my children nearby and maybe some lovely rain outside to make inside feel more cozy.

  1184. Little happy things: A drive up the canyon to see the fall colors with my family. Fresh peaches, peeled by my husband because he knows I prefer them that way. Words my children mispronounce. Finding a child’s toy in my purse. Feeling my unborn baby move. Fixing a dinner that my husband loves.

  1186. Hi just found your blog and I must say your work is so beautiful.
    As i unfortunatley suffer from depression It’s hard to find anything!!! However I have just started to knit which I am getting addicted to which for me is fantastic! xxx

  1187. Little things which make me happy are the smell of wet sand, the sound of the sea, log fires, my stash and, like you, peace and quiet. Thanks for sharing your bunnies with us.

  1188. Knitting, crocheting, sewing, actually anything to do with arts and crafts makes me happy! I love to visit your blog and I wish you the best for the upcoming 7th year, thank you for the awesome giveaway!

  1189. Your rabbits are gorgeous, I love knitting, crocheting and thinking about what I’ll be making next. I also have 4 mad real life bunnies who always bring a smile to my face 🙂 x

  1191. Wow! You are truly talented…I’m happy your talent gives you so much happiness! Fall makes me happy. I love everything about it! The food, the clothes and mostly the weather!

  1193. I think your little rabbits are so adorable. Very sweet little faces with beautiful dresses. I love that you make each one special. I really love knitting for my 3 little girls. I love to knit blankets to wrap them up in. Glad you are still blogging after all these years. I always look forward to seeing your new little rabbits.
