Thanks to everyone who stopped by the shop this evening. I’m afraid everything sold out pretty quickly but there are more in production as we speak. If you’d like to be added to my advance mailing list please drop me an email, otherwise please watch this space, there will be a few bunny egg cosies and some cakes along shortly and more toys in a few weeks. Thanks again for your interest in my work and all the lovely, encouraging and uplifting comments that you leave me – it means a great deal. Sleep well all, I’m off to my bed!

Cup cake homage
I’ve been mulling over some new ideas for cup cakes for a while. It’s nice being able to bounce between knitting rabbits and knitting cakes – both are enjoyable in different ways and involve different techniques (variety is the spice of life and all that…). Anyway, I wanted to knit up some seasonal cakes for Easter. The inspiration for these came a while ago when I was making a rabbit called Bunny Slippers. As I was making her I thought that the little bunny heads might look sweet on cakes and here’s the result.
The other cakes I’ve been experimenting with are inspired by the work of Kylie Lambert – a woman of great artistry and skill who creates edible cakes so beautiful that it seems a shame to stick a cake fork into them. I am continually stunned by the detail and perfection of her cakes, she’s got a magical touch and must have a very steady hand. Anyway, inspired by her beautiful work, here are a few interpretations in yarn!
Mahar Drygoods
I am very proud today to be sending off a batch of bunnies to Robert Mahar at Mahar Drygoods. If you’re not familiar with his emporium of delights then you should definitely acquaint yourself quickly. He has a fantastic eye for gorgeous things and the website is beautifully designed. I’m very flattered to think of my knitted toys in such fine company.
