All of the kids made a fuss about the little rabbit when they came in after school. Except for one little person who went straight for her afternoon tea, a little rest and some tv. After dinner I heard ‘awwwwww…..I lub it, thank you mummy oh thank you’. Yep she’s claimed it as her own. […]

If you’ve been on Instagram or FB you’ll have seen that I’ve been knitting a little rabbit. A little cotton rabbit to be exact. I was talking to a lovely lady running sunday school and it turned out she used to run the church craft stall and I said I’d be donating some things this year. […]

I adore this cardigan. It is just so cute and sweet and I can’t stop admiring it. BUT and it’s a big but, I’ve spent most of today doing the seaming, rib bands and ruffles. And I thought I might poke someone with a knitting needle out of frustration while doing it. I have fallen […]
