Hello again. It's nice to be back now that the children are at school again. It's been longer than I planned since I popped in here and I had intended to write another couple of blog posts over the school summer hols but circumstances conspired to keep me away from the computer. I will write up a post soon about my summer knitting exploits but today is a special day as it is my blog anniversary – it was exactly seven years ago today that I first dipped my toe into bloggy waters.
At the time I didn't have any long term plans for the blog. All I wanted was a distraction from worrying about Toby (who was having his very first day of school), a way of connecting with other people who like to make things (because it appears that none of them live very near me) and maybe a way of selling a few knitted things so that I had an excuse to keep making them. I count myself extremely lucky to have had all 3 of those wishes come true and so much more besides. I've made real life friends through this little blog, built a small business which does indeed allow me to justify buying lots of yarn and knitting each and every day and I have a lovely place to come to escape from some of the worries about Toby's future.
But all this would not have been possible without you – all you lovely visitors who pop in and say Hi, offer encouragement, support and generally just make me feel happy and part of a like-minded community.
As a small thank you I am giving away the two bunnies above (called Candy and Coco). To be in with a chance of winning one of them just leave me a comment below and tell me something you like to do with your free-time. I'll pick 2 winners using a random number generator a week today (Tuesday 10th September)
I'm also giving away a free supplement to my bunny girl/seasonal dresses knitting patterns. This is for the dress design on the bunnies above and includes charted and written instructions (please note that you will need one of my patterns as the supplement is just the design notes rather than the full instructions for the dress construction). If you'd like a copy you can download it for free here.
Thanks again for continuing to visit with me and for all of your lovely comments over the last 7 years, I hope you'll stick around for a while longer x
………………………………………………………..
As always after the long summer holidays I am woefully behind with replying to emails. I hope to catch up over the next week, sorry if you are waiting to hear back from me.

Hi
I have only just discovered you but we are very similar spirits. I am a mother of two autistic learning disabled boys. I found crochet at the point when my husband left us and it saved my life. I crochet gifts that I give away to friends, volunteers and carers who help me with the boys. Crochet, yarn and my new passion of spinning helps me to breathe and cope with the constant aggressive challenges and huddles that the boys throw at me daily. Your blogs are in spiritual and I feel very much in tune with your thinking and positive view on life .

Good morning from Michigan and happy 7 years blogging! Just love to look at your page, your photos, and of course your bunnies. I work part time as a graphic designer for a library and while it is a very nice job, it’s hard to work without other creative people. We have a knitting group at the library and the ladies have helped me a lot, but in the summer it’s harder to find time. My problem is that I can’t seem to concentrate on one craft, too many projects are are on my to do list (including a bunny pattern!) I admire you for finding something you love, excelling at it and creating such lovely art. Have a wonderful day.

Julie, I think your little bunnies are absolutely adorable, and I wish I had time to make some of the things from your patterns (I have downloaded them, just not sure when I’ll get round to them!).
Spare time – technically as I work part-time my hubby says I must have plenty (hah!) but I do find the time to potter about sewing, knitting, crocheting, making jewellery and wood-working (not all at once, and not generally even all in the same month, but I like to keep my crafting on a broad scale!).
Your blog and your lovely patterns are inspirational, and if our comments can return the favour by helping keep you going, so much the better.

Hi Julie! Your blog has always been inspiring, both in terns of creativity and life in general. I’ve been a crafter since the age of 7, when a maiden aunt introduced me to the art of counted cross stitch! Since then, more years have gone by than I like to count (being now 40 something!) and I’ve loved extending my repertoire to making hand sewn patchwork quilts, rag / character dolls of many varieties, costumes for children’s plays / school productions and generally any situation that can include something hand sewn. My new love (discovered around 12 months ago) is making Waldorf dolls – a welcome distraction my health issues and an opportunity to learn the skill of crochet. I’ve always been a much better and keener sewer than knitter, so have long admired (and envied!) your gorgeous little rabbits – to own one would be a dream come true, so thanks for the opportunity. And of course, it goes without saying, here’s to your next seven years of blogging…and another seven after that!

Oh Julie I love love love those bunnies but I love love love all your bunnies and your delightful blog :O) It never ceases to amaze me how much you get done!!
Now what do I like to do in my free time?? Hmmm since setting up my little handmade homemade business I now do my hobby (sewing) for work so I recently taught myself crochet which I just love. I’ve also started taking all my recipes off my book shelf and picking out recipes to actually make from them as opposed to just looking at the pictures longingly :O) Reading is also something I’ve got back into. For a long time I never seemed to have time to read but now I’ve started to go to bed an hour earlier than normally and indulging in lovely books – most recently Meet me at The Cupcake Cafe (very apt considering the bunnie’s have cupcakes on their dresses).
Last but by no means least – reading yours and all the lovely blogs out there. Oh and instagram!

Happy anniversary, Julie, and thanks for all you do. I remember that happy, relieved feeling that comes when the children are back in school. In my spare time I like to knit and quilt, and also crochet little slipcovers for rocks. Right now I am getting my trip knitting together for a trip to Scotland next week. All I’ve seen of the UK so far in my life is Gatwick Airport, so I am excited.

Julie,
It’s so good to have you back. . .Congratulations on 7 years, your work is beautiful, your patterns well written and the fact that you share willingly is so generous. Thank you!! My free time is spent reading, knitting, sewing, or daydreaming about all the things I can learn and do when my children are grown (not that I’m wishing them away I just want to enjoy my empty nest rather than mourn so I figure I better get an early start on my list so that I’m too busy to be sad).

Firstly, thank you for sharing yourself with us in this delightful blog. I came across it when I was looking for online patterns of bunny rabbits to knit. (Being chronically ill, I thought some small knitting projects would distract me from myself!) I was besotted not only by your adorable bunnies, but by the beauty you see, create and share. I am amazed at the quality of your work, your attention to detail and the way you faultlessly combine colours and designs. You inspired me to start creating! So thank you…I began with rabbits, but have moved on to crochet at the moment and think how lucky I am to live at a time when a computer can open up the world to me, even though I am almost always housebound. That’s how I could learn to crochet. I used to do more gardening and sewing and some knitting, but crochet is my present joy…I’m sure one of your bunnies would enjoy living in the country with me, we’d keep each other good company.

Then I came across your beautiful creations, and I’m thrilled at being able to make animals again that are more fun to make, and more beautiful to look at than my crocheted ones ever were!

Wow. Happening upon your blog again. I don’t touch mine anymore and started for the same reasons as you. My oldest has gone off to college. My middle doing his 2nd year at HS and my youngest, 13, also has autism and will being going to a residential school for children with autism. It is the hardest decision we have ever made. Even harder than moving states to getting him into one of the “best” schools. Luckily, the school is in state, although 2.5 hours away. But 8 miles down the road from college daughter. He hates when I knit and once disposed of all of my knitting needles. We still haven’t found them. Clever boy! He does love animals though. Rabbit “hop hop”!
I wish you well!

Hi Julie,
Your little cupcake bunnies are gorgeous!!
I love making things as well and try selling them for charity to give me a reason to carry on making things.A friend gives me a little space on her stall at the Winchester Art Market each month to display them.
It does seem a long time since your last post – it’s silly but I seem to worry when we don’t hear from you for a while!
Keep up the good work with the family and the knitting!
Best wishes

Dear Julie,
do you know these books that change your life? for me it was “La historia” by Elza Morante. all my life I read so many books, but somehow, this book was so powerfull it actually changed me (it’s a novel, not a self help book…) since this book reading feels different, and it’s hard for me to find a book that will match the power of “La historia” (eccept maybe for other books by Morante, but there are only so few….). the thing is that I feel the same way about your blog. it really was life changing for me. something about your designs and the simple and honest way you share your life, thoughts and inspiration really changed the way I feel about knitting. the inspiration you gave me is now a great source of power for me.
thanks for being here for the past 7 years.

I love to crochet – I am working on two blankets and an adorable little bear with sad-doggy eyes. I have yet to take up knitting, and it is killing me that I haven’t yet found the time to do so.
I love to cook, bake, and generally make messes in the kitchen. There are jars piled up on counter tops and spare nooks – jars of various kinds of jams I’ve made this summer.

I used to read more blogs back then but yours and one other are about all I have time for regularly now that I have 2 small children. I also like to read books or magazines (nonfiction nowadays trying to keep up with the kids!), steal a few stitches of knitting (way too many unfinished projects because I usually only knit while we are driving somewhere far if my husband is driving) some basic sewing or doll size quilts, and to paint/draw (though that is one thing I have not has as much time to do as I’d like since the kids came along.)
I really have appreciated you sharing so much of your life, it’s nice seeing the children grow up and seeing your work, it’s an inspiration in so many ways. You really do take the time to look at the beautiful things in your surroundings and are so down to earth. I feel as though we are old friends even though we’ve never met.

Hi Julie … I have just come across your gorgeous bunnies on my facebook page! My beloved grandmother knitted me a bunny when i was a baby which i cherished until the dreadful day that he went down the storm water drain.The pain still forever etched in my memory. In my spare time i have started to bake. I have never been a baker but i am pregnant with my first child so i figure that must have something to do with it! I would love a bunny for my baby 🙂

With two young children I (one of whom starts school for the very first time on monday – eek!) I don’t get much free time, but when I do, I like to read through recipe books, craft magazines, and if I’m really lucky, a good long soak in the bath with a proper cup of tea. Someday soon, I hope to get back into my crochet! I’ve bought one of your patterns to knit the bunny for my first niece or nephew – due in october – so I’d better get my skates on and finish it!
Best wishes and thanks for keeping up with your blog.

You always make such lovely bunnies, and these two are just as gorgeous.

Glad to see you back online and many congratulations on 7 years. I remember school summer holidays as exhausting times and it was always with some relief that I waved my autistic son off on the bus back to school in early September. Now he is in his 30s and will be coming to stay with me next week in the south of France, travelling on his own as long as someone guides him to the correct plane. In my spare time at the moment, I enjoy knitting fingerless gloves or “texting mittens” as I call them, which I give away. In October, I’ll be going to the opera once or twice a month at a nearby cinema when they are transmitted direct from the New York Met. Looking forward to the “Nose” by Shostakovish and wondering what on earth it will be like.

Hi Julie, the first time I came across your blog you had named a gorgeous rabbit Blythe which was the unusual name of our newly arrived grand daughter and I have popped in regularly ever since, it must be 2 years as it’s nearly her birthday!

My grandmother was brilliant with fabrics and my mother a fantastic knitter, I miss them both but always appreciate them passing on their love of handicraft to me. I love to crochet, embroider samplers, sew anything, knit a bit but most of all hand quilt and patchwork. I live a long way from my gran daughters but will endeavour to pass on a love of making things to the next generation.

Hello Julie,
I have been following your blog for a few years now and love all your creations. They are so beautiful. I have tried several times to win one of your bunnies but unfortunately have been unlucky so far.
You ask what I like to do in my free time? Well, firstly my free time seems to be being hijacked by my husband and his new business! Every time I get a moment spare, he fills it with errands, paperwork, phone calls or collections and deliveries :-0 It’s shocking behaviour I know, I must have words with him about it. But when I do get sometime I love to bake, sew, make cards and scrapbooks, photograph anything and everything and now I’ve started walking too! I need to be retired I think as I don’t have enough hours in the day for work! Gosh I nearly forgot, I spend a lot of time writing letters to my two daughters who both currently live abroad. They love getting letters. My 12 year old son Skpes them….it’s less work he says!
By the way, how are things with your son? I work is a TA in a secondary school and have just seen a lad finish college after starting in year 7 with him (that’s 7 years with him) and was there in the summer to see him open his A Level results. Not only did he get good grades he got a place at his first choice of University. I am so proud of him, I feel like he is one of my own and now he’s not in school anymore it feels like he’s left home too. I hope your son is doing well, I don’t get to read your blog as often as I’d like because I just seem to be so busy…….I blame the husband. It’s always best to blame them I find 🙂

I can’t even remember how I came across your blog (I was probably googleing ‘crochet’ just as you were learning to crochet, or maybe during the time of the ‘flowers in the snow blanket’), but I have been hooked since I started reading the blog for the first time.
I crochet in my free time (which I asked my granny to teach me when I was about 16) and today I have a small business making necklaces from crocheted flowers.
I love reading your blog and I think you have the most beautiful designs- I especially enjoy the crochet blankets that you make as the beautiful colour combinations and yarns you use always inspires me in my own designs.
Much love and good wishes,
Alicia

Hello Julie, lovely to see you back on here, in my spare time I love doing the usual crochet and knitting and drawing and designing, but at the moment I am very much enjoying decorating my house, I am currently building a wall in my garden and have been very inspired by your beautiful new landscaping 🙂 and also I am revamping my bathroom from a horrible bottle green to a beautiful combination of bleached wood and dusky blue to give a wonderful colonial feel. Any way back to it… 🙂

In my spare time, I love knitting. My grandmother taught me to knit at the age of 7. I love knitting and had to put it on the side while raising my daughter. Now, that she is older, I back to knitting and love it. I realized how much I missed it and how relaxing it is for me. I also, love taking long walks with our new puppy — Kaylee
