Posting


How's your week going? Mine's been a bit up & down, I seem to be a bit of a tired old chook lately. I'm finding that I'm not so motivated to blog, maybe it's the time of year? I am weirdly enjoying the cold weather though, like I always do at the start of winter. Give me a few weeks and I'm sure I'll be complaining about it..! I was going through a bag of bits today and found this sweet butterfly brooch that Amanda made, I love it! Just the thing to brighten up a grey, wintery day.


And these gorgeous screen printed tops made by my beautiful friend, Kate. They are destined to be posted off in a parcel to...


some loved ones, who shall remain nameless.. in case they happen to be reading this post! 
And in the same package I will pop this dear, sweet doll, made by Ms Ric Rac herself. She is  just the most gorgeous doll (Jodie is too), I love her little bag and I wish I had a coat like hers. 
I bought this little sweetie pie two Christmas's ago, stashed her, lost her, re-stashed her 
and found her again!
Wow. Do you ever do that? Hide something so well that you can't find it yourself?


So what else has been happening?  Lovely Sue, a new friend from school, is encouraging me to knit a cardigan for Rosie. I wonder if I'm brave enough, it's been a long while since I took on what for me is a BIG project. I'm a tiny bit excited..now I just need some wool!


And today I started posting a few things on Ebay to sell, 
one of which is this rather snazzy Boden coat that I bought a while ago. It's a delicious
velvety red/pink colour and so soft & warm but just a bit too big for me.


Anyway chooks, I better go. Dinner to make, kids to monitor, we have a house full this afteroon,


and Rosie & I need to check for eggs before it gets dark.
Our little Silkies are laying which is great!
Their little smooth eggs are amazing,
thanks girls!
Bye for now lovely friends,
see you soon xo

Polly & the Bunny Sisters


I recently got back to bunny business and it's been lovely creating new, sweet, soft bunnies. I decided to make a birthday bunny for Rosie using some pretty red flowery fabric and the usual alpaca wool offcuts.
Jeff gave me a hand.


Rosie loves her new friend and has called her Polly.



At the last Marker's Market a lovely woman called Alison admired a bunny that had already been sold to Annissa from LiliPili . She took my details and emailed me last week to order two bunnies for a friend.


The Bunny Sisters are now finished & ready to leave the Dandelion rabbit warren to head for Sydney (and warmer weather!). I am really happy with how they turned out, they each have a different personality but the same sweet & slightly wistful nature. I hope they get lots of cuddles.

Hope you get lots of cuddles too over the weekend! I'm off to Melbourne for 24 hours of kidfree time. After a long and tiring week I'm feeling pretty worn out so I'm sure it will be good for me. See you soon, xoxo
