Just a quick post today as Toby is off sick from school with a bad cough and cold.  Thanks to everyone for your comments on sleepy bunny. A couple of people suggested slippers and I just couldn’t resist having a go. Somehow bunny slippers seemed the most appropriate! Thanks by the way to everyone who has emailed me recently. I am trying to reply as soon as possible but it may be a few days.

A term which could apply equally to me but at the moment I’m meaning this sleepy bunny

I was mulling over ideas for new rabbits and wanted to explore trousers (don’t we all?!). Then in the middle of the night earlier this week something Rebecca said about her girls taking their little cotton rabbits to bed pinged into my mind (anyone else get weird revelatory ideas in the middle of the night?) the answer was PYJAMAS!!! I’m not sure if these say jammies or whether the top needs to be stripey too but I’m hoping you’ll all give me your feedback. If the consensus is that jammies work then I’ll make some more, otherwise it’s back to the drawing board!

Thanks so much for all of your supportive comments over my copyright hassles. Hopefully it’s all resolved now. I don’t think most people who copy other people’s designs really think about the implications. Maybe it’s easier to justify when they know nothing about the person who originated the design or maybe they genuinely believe they are not doing anything wrong. Creating something handcrafted is a very personal thing – we’re not companies mass producing goods and so copyright infringement affects us personally. Legalities aside I think it’s more of a moral issue really – you just have to ask yourself “how would I feel if someone did it to me”. Anyway, enough said, climbing down off soapbox now, have a great weekend all!

Just a quickie before the weekend. I am still here (and mostly sane) have a few war wounds – mostly glue in my hair and ringing ears from all the pop music. The house is a tip but kids are happy, so who cares?!

Have been a knitting nomad all week and finished off some cakes on a pastel theme. Counting down to Monday and visualising an empty house, Ludovico tinkling the ivories and my box of yarn – ahhh bliss! In truth I think the hoover will be calling and I will no longer be able to ignore the washing mountain, still I can dream.

Have a great weekend everyone.
