200th Post

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)707 Comments

I can't believe this has come around so quickly. When I first started I wasn't sure how long I'd stick at blogging but visiting other blogs and reading all of the wonderful comments that people leave here has become a really important part of my day. Thanks so much for visiting, leaving comments and for the encouragement and support that you offer me.

To celebrate I'd like to give away a toy at random so if you'd like to win it please just leave a comment below (just say Hi if nothing else comes to mind but be sure to leave a contact email). I'll leave this post up for the next week and then use a random generator thingy to pick a winner on Wednesday March 26th. The winner can then choose what regular sized toy they'd like me to make for them.

I've been playing with mice again this week and have made another prototype head with a pointier nose and completely pink ears. I think I'm happy with it at last, so mice are now on the menu!

Anyway have a wonderful Easter – eat lots of chocolate and don't forget to leave a comment below if you'd like to enter my giveaway.

The draw is now closed.

And so it begins!

Thanks for all the good wishes for Mother’s day (the UK one). I had a lovely quiet morning with breakfast in bed and some wonderful handmade cards – 2 from Amy and a sparkly one that Toby ‘made’ at school (I had a sneaking suspicion it was going to be sparkly when I found a load of sequins in his poo on Thursday!!)

Amy and I had great fun playing with the new Little Cotton Rabbit stamps. I just enjoyed trying them out and she made cards for her best friend and her boyfriend. Sorry, boyfriend?! I thought I’d have at least another year or two before this spectre
appeared on the horizon but it seems that was wishful thinking, as her self portrait clearly shows!

And so begins the fascination with boys
who only a short while ago were scorned as smelly and noisy. I
think it may be largely due to the squeaky clean and wholesome male
charms of Zac Efron (star of High School Musical)! Curse his dazzling
smile!

On the knitting front there is still not much to report from me but if you’d like some knitted cuteness then please pop over and visit the brand new home of Oliver and Olivia where Shawn Mary is having a prize draw to celebrate the launch of her new website.
