I’ve hit the small time!

Firstly, thanks SO much for all of the wonderful comments on the 100th post, I am chuffed to bits and a little flabbergasted that there are so many people who visit here!

I’m also chuffed to bits that I’ve just had a mention in SMALL which is a fab on-line magazine:

"Small is a magazine of creative work on a small scale and for the small
sized. Although primarily for childrenโ€™s products and designs it is
also about small-scale productions. We are looking for people that are
interested in play, children, childhood and the child within and who
produce high quality work and independent products and design on a
small-scale."

It’s definitely worth a look as they have great recipies, ideas, fashion, books and in this issue a link to some brilliant free furniture you can make with your kids. And my rabbit is in very good company too, if you get a chance pop over and take a look!

I don’t have any finished toys to show you at the moment, so I’ll show you a ‘before’ shot of some bunnies hopefully the ‘after’ picture will follow soon!

Hi everyone – flippin’heck!!! How many comments??!!

My blog appears to be struggling to keep up and I know that some of you have had trouble leaving a comment on the previous post so leave one here instead and you can still be entered for the competition. What have I done? There’s a week of snipping and folding bits of paper ahead of me!!!
Seriously, thanks for all of your lovely coments.

My competition is now closed to new entries, I’ll be drawing the winner shortly and will post tomorrow, thanks!

100 today!!!

This is my 100th post!!

And I want to say a big thank you to everyone who
has left a comment or just visited here and lurked (I know you’re there ‘cos I watch my stats!). I get so much enjoyment from this little blog and when you visit here, you make my day!

I’d like to offer the
chance for one person to win their own little cotton rabbit (or bear / panda / monkey). If you fancy taking part just leave me a comment on this post and in 1 week I’ll ask my lovely
assistant Amy to draw a single winner from all of the commenters.

If you need any inspiration for ideas, here are a couple of the toys I’ve made since I started blogging:

As I can only offer 1 free toy I’ve been racking my brain to think of something else to offer to everyone so I’ve come up with a free pattern to share. You could knit this as a decoration for a t-shirt, a tea cosy, a bag…I’m sure there are many more imaginative uses too (I’ve just whopped it on a T-shirt for Amy)

Many, many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to comment here – each comment has been eagerly read and cherished and if I’ve not responded I must apologise as time (and Toby) doesn’t always permit. Thanks again for stopping by!

My competition is now closed to new entries, I’ll be drawing the winner shortly and will post tomorrow, thanks!
