Christmas cards for charity

November 21, 2007 Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)19 Comments

Thanks to everyone who visited my shop last night. The latest batch of toys will be winging their way to their new homes shortly.

I wanted to make some postcards of this seasonal batch but once again time has got the better of me. But then I heard on the blog grapevine that those lovely people over at moo have come up with a wonderful idea. They are offering greetings cards that help raise money for Médecins Sans Frontières. A pack of 10 cards costs £9.99 ($1 goes to the charity) and you can
easily personalise them so that your card says exactly what you want it
to. You can either print the cards from your own images that you upload to flickr or choose from thousands on file at the people powered card store.

Or you could choose this one!

Just follow this link:

You’ll be taken straight to a page on MOO with my image selected, ready for you to customise and buy.

And if this has got you in a seasonal mood and you’re a knitter then you should pop over for a visit with DottyCookie who has created the sweetest little christmas pudding patch to knit.

Rose petal tutu for Rose

November 20, 2007 Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)5 Comments

The lovely Nathalie at Kennedy and friends has made this beautiful tutu to auction off for the Rose Willcocks fund. Made from the finest quality tulle, satin ribbon and silk rose petals it would make the most perfect Christmas pressie for a budding ballerina or little Princess (aged 2-6 years). Bidding has just started and will end on November 25th so if you pop over now and place a bid you’ll be making 2 little girls very happy ones this Christmas!

A solution to the problem of grated cheese

November 15, 2007 Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)9 Comments

You may remember that I was having a moan recently about Toby’s liking for finely grated cheese and how I was wishing for a mouse to keep the carpets clean. Well, look what arrived in the post!

The most perfect little chap for the job!

He’s already had a snuffle around and snacked on a couple of stray cheerios, some cake crumbs and of course copious quantities of grated cheese. He’s worth his weight in gold AND he came bearing gifts of chocolate, biscuits and wool.

Martine you are very sweet – I love Cheddar (as Amy has named the mouse) and the goodies are much appreciated – thanks so much X

Thanks too to everyone who voted for me in the softie awards. It was great to be nominated and although my puds didn’t win they’re not too sad to have lost to such a cute gingerbread baby!
