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!

tea and cake

I like tea and cake.

It’s a shame I can’t invite you all round to share some, so instead I’d like to invite you to my next post (which will be my 100th) as I’m planning a little giveaway (no RSPV required). Please drop by early next week.

By the way, when there is cake you have to be quick round here!

New moos

I’ve just had a new batch of moo* cards (I gave all of the first batch away – grudgingly) and s’pose I’ll end up giving these away too (grumbly, grumpy noises). It’s just that they’re just so nice to have, I want to hoard them all to myself!!

Anyway, seeing as I might be giving some of them away I thought I’d experiment and after playing around with some blank card bases and my best handwriting I came up with these:

The moo is removable (I’ve only used one craft mount) and so it can be taken off and cherished!! I’ll be including one of these cards with each of the toys I sell from now on. These will tide me over until I get around to having some proper ones printed!

*moos are little contact cards that you can get printed in batches of 100 from your own photos if you upload them to flickr (which is free to join). They’re not what I call cheap but they are lovely and you can personalise the back. More details here.
