Just popping in briefly to wish you all the very best for a happy Summer (or Winter if you’re in the Southern hemisphere). The school summer break has just started here and although Toby had only been back at school for a few weeks and with shorter days, he had begun to settle into a routine, so there’s a new one for him to adjust to now. Not that he’ll be complaining, as he definitely would choose a long lie in each morning 🙂
I’m looking forward to next weekend when Amy is coming home. I’ve not seen her since the beginning of March and although we’ve texted almost every day I’ve missed her so much. I’m so grateful that she was able to stay with her boyfriend’s family during the lockdown, it’s definitely helped her cope with these trying times.
The summer break from school is 7 weeks long, so I might not be here very often during that time, though I do hope to pop in now and again and I’m also hoping to hang out on the Facebook and Ravelry groups too, so maybe see you there. I’ll will be back soon though with news of the latest pattern which I finished off earlier today and is currently in testing. Can’t wait to share it with everyone – it’s for accessories and there’s a sneak peek in the picture above at the basket that’s included. I’m so pleased with how it’s turned out and the bunny twins Charlie & Coco have had fun testing out how many strawberries they can fit into their baskets (these bunnies and their clothes are knitted from my small rabbit pattern and the new small clothing patterns for the dress, sweaters and dungarees).
Well, wishing you a happy weekend, hopefully I’ll be back next week with some new pattern news, J x
little cotton rabbits 
Hello from Florida Julie, I’ve been drooling over the pictures everyone’s been posting in your FB group. Each one seems to be more adorable than the last! My mind was wandering the other day, as it often does, and the thought crept into my head “Wouldn’t it be marvelous if Little Cotton Rabbits turned into a book!” I’d bet it would sell out in a matter of hours! Just a thought. Meanwhile I’m trying to justify starting to make some rabbits (for one particular grand daughter) by finishing some of my legions of quilting UFOs. Meanwhile, good luck with the new routine for summer. I hope everything goes smoothly and you all have an enjoyable summer.

How exciting! Hope you have a very lovely summer as well and I hope you have some good weather. It has been very wet here in Yorkshire but fingers crossed August might be better. Really looking forward to your new pattern and to lots more knitting while I am on leave over the next few weeks.

What utterly sweet bunnies, Julie!! Happy Summer to you and your family. Hope you will have some peace and quiet every now and then to “reload the battery” as we say.

Those bunnies are just heart-meltingly adorable. I will have to have a go soon; I am just so taken with the tiniest of your bunnies that is all I have knitted so far (but I can’t part with them). Have a lovely summer and I so look forward to your new patterns. Love Chris.

bonjour Julie,
Je m’appelle Catherine de Normandie en France. J’ai découvert par hasard vos petits animaux sur internet il y a quelques mois et bien sûr j’ai adoré!J’en ai déjà tricoté plusieurs. Le plus difficile a été de comprendre les explications en anglais mais maintenant c’est OK!
je suis allée sur votre blog pour en savoir plus et j’ai découvert un peu plus de votre vie et inspiration. les photos de nature sont vraiment belles et je comprends et partage tout à fait votre émerveillement.
Pour finir j’ai aussi une fille handicapée de 21 ans ( syndrôme de Lennox-gastaut ) et comme vous je savoure mon temps libre quand ma fille est dans son centre médical en journée. Le confinement a aussi été un moment particulier pour elle et moi…
Le tricot et le patchwork m’apportent beaucoup de satisfaction dans ma vie quotidienne.
Je continuerai à vous suivre et bon courage pour les vacances .
Catherine
