Lots of rain here this week everyone so it seems to be a good time
to sit and try out some new yarns...I'm hoping this is going to be
another lovely yarn to use in the MJT patterns
and I will add it to the yarn page if there is a positive outcome...
...fingers crossed because it is beautifully soft
and comes in a wonderful array of scrumptious colours!
~♥~
I've also added a collage of
'Lily Bunny'
to the pattern pages on ETSY and Ravelry this week
and of course not to forget mischievous little
''Samuel Bunny'
~♥~
I've received more lovely things in the post too...
At the beginning of the week my little
'Jubilee Cottage'
arrived with the postman from lovely Lori of
'Hippywitch Crafts'
Isn't it wonderful?
You can visit Lori's lovely ETSY shop
here
♥ Thank you Lori ♥
I love my little toadstool house!
~♥~
and yesterday another special treat...
My lovely Giveaway prize from Deb at
'Bee happy'
It was a very unexpected surprise to be the winner of
Cath Kidston's
Stitch!♥ Thank you so much Deb ♥
and you can visit the lovely 'Bee happy' blog
here
My prize arrived beautifully wrapped with a pretty card and tag...
There really is so much kindness here in Blogland.
It's very unlike me to be on a winning streak I have to add....
I'm feeling very lucky...maybe a good time to buy a lottery ticket too!
~♥~
Which has all helped to make up for the fact that our
girls have returned to university after having them home
for 3 happy weeks...
It's very quiet around here now but time does fly by
....which means....
they will be back again soon I tell myself!
~♥~
Hope you are having a lovely week
Lovely pictures as usual x I love the Jubilee cottage. Well done on winning the CK book (Green with envy!) Sue x

ReplyDeleteHugs, Elly
Your bunny colours are lovely Susan. Lucky your with your winnings...it may well be time to buy that Lottery ticket. I am sure the house does feel quiet now your girls have gone back to uni but that also means more time for crafting ;0)

Dear Susan,
ReplyDeleteYou have included some beautiful pictures of Samuel and Lily! I feel the urge to make dozens of those longeared marvels. If only I could do without sleep to get more things done!
I have been a fan of Lori's work for a long time now and her toadstool houses are my absolute favourites. Yours is a treasure to behold.
It's lovely to catch up with you and I shall be coming out of my bloggin spring hibernation soon.
Stephanie
I shall be flying over to see you as soon as you post again Stephanie!..x

Absolutely, truly scrumptious yarns. I love the toadstool house too. A big hug from me to you, the house must seem very quiet at the moment. Only 31 days left until half term - is uni the same?
ReplyDeleteLorraine xx
What absolutely gorgeous looking yarns, I love those colours together Susan, and those bunnies are adorable! I think I could be developing a serious yarn addiction - having just bought some debbie bliss (the first non acrylic yarn I will be using!) - there are soooo many beautiful ones out there to choose from! Hope you are not too lonely this week, hope the time will fly by until your girls are home again. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteI love your little bunny collages Susan, they are so sweet. :) Gorgeous yarn too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little toadstool house and yet another giveaway win, maybe it is time for a, lottery ticket!!!
I always think this term is short, your girls will be back with you in no time at all.
Enjoy the rest of the week,
Vivienne x
Yay......well done on all your lovely wins Susan.......those yarns are very pretty, and I'm so chuffed to have one of your gorgeous bunnies named after me........I could get quite used to being famous.
