I'll be sending your copies of the calendars out as soon as I hear back from you with postal addresses.

We've been lucky here ourselves recently with the arrival of another wonderful package in the post. This one has travelled all the way from the lovely Jen of Frazzydazzles in Australia. Jen and I have become friends via our blogs over the last few years and have found we have a lot in common. It's such fun to swap with someone who likes the same kind of things and I couldn't resist sharing all of our gorgeous goodies.

Amy is very much in love with Beryl the Bilby and we've really enjoyed reading the beautiful book – it's such a sweet story. I love my little spotty teaspoon holder and the yarn is going to make some lovely bunny clothes. Jen also included some really cute stickers and two beautiful bells for our christmas tree. Didn't we do well?!

Over the last couple of weeks I've had a lot of fun sorting through images of some of my favourite little cotton rabbits and putting them into a calendar for 2010. I'm going to be giving some of these to my friends and family at Christmas time but I thought I'd also make the calendar available to buy for those of you who'd like a copy.

You can preview or purchase it here over at the very excellent Redbubble.

If you've thought yourself of doing a calendar, greeting cards or T shirts with your own images then I'd definitely recommend Redbubble. Their print and paper quality are great (my photos don't do them justice thanks to a murky day!) and their prices are good compared to other online print companies. They also have a great range of existing designs for cards and calendars to buy from some very talented artists and photographers.

Anyway, I thought I'd have a little giveaway to celebrate my own little calendar launch and I have 3 copies to send out to winners. If you'd like to be in with a chance of winning one please leave a comment below and next Monday (November 16th) I'll draw the 3 winners at random.

I don't know what is wrong with me at the moment but I just can't seem to settle to anything. I have over 20 different projects on the go and none of them getting finished! Here's a case in point – wrist warmers that I started ages ago from Eunny Jang's wonderful pattern Endpaper Mitts.

Instead of having one finished pair to wear I have the beginnings of 4 pairs! I'd like to blame the weather with it's one-minute-sunny-next-minute-wet-and-rainy inconsistency but I am beginning to suspect that it's just me and I'd better get my act together and finish off some things before starting anything else new! For those of you interested there will be some animals in my etsy shop before the end of the month – hopefully some hedgehogs too!
