Little Alfie has a new home

I have just checked my e-mails and have sold little Alfie via Folksy, I am sooooo pleased! He will be packaged up and sent very soon.

Here's Bertie Bunny..

Finally I got around to taking the photos of Bertie, who is now for sale. He is made from British Herdwick Aran Yarn and is stuffed with polyester filling meeting the European Safety and Cleanliness standards.

He will sell for £11 plus P&P. If you are interested just e-mail me or leave a message and I will get back to you.

Leah likes him so I have had to hide the little fella to stop her hugging him all the time!


Here he is sitting on the sofa...

... and relaxing in the sunshine!

Hello girls!

It was my Dad's birthday yesterday so my sister and I bought him two new chickens. The one on the left is a cuckoo maran and the one on the right is a light Sussex. They are settling in ok, except the other chooks won't let them near them yet!

Luckily there hasn't been too much hen pecking!

They have yet to lay their first eggs, but I'm sure it won't be too long.

Next bunny almost here!

The newest addition to my Etsy shop is almost here, just the arms and jumper to finish. It is a little larger than normal due to the yarn I used - a British Herdwick aran, but is still very cute.
He will sell for £11 plus P&P.

Pictures to follow soon!

Don't forget if you want a custom made bunny in time for Christmas please e-mail me at

Some yummy goodies on their way (soon)

I saw a lovely post on Lizzie Jane's blog about her soap making and I really couldn't resist. Her daughter has a lovely etsy shop with an amazing amount of bath goodies which I just had to have. Luckily she ships to the UK too!

I ordered some delicious items as you can see :o)

This one is a vegan Jasmine soap (can't wait for this)

a Frankinscence and myrhh soap bar, just in time for Christmas,

and finally some little strawberry and kiwi bears for Leah to have in her bath (she loves to get clean).

I would recommend popping by as she has a 20% sale until 31st October and everything is beautifully made!

The first of my Christmas bunnies

I wanted to introduce you to the first of my Christmas bunnies which are for sale. This little fellow is called Alfie and is knitted from Sirdar Snuggly DK, so is very soft and cuddly. I made his jumper using some Christmas motifs I found in a knitting magazine from a few years back. The bunny itself is from my own design.

He is looking for a home and is £9 plus P&P, depending on which country you live in. I will only charge for postage and packing materials, nothing more!

I made his little tail from Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake and it is very soft and cute! If you are interested please e-mail me or leave a message on this post.

Thanks everyone for dropping by!

An evening walk to the beach

We didn't get out if the house much yesterday, mainly due to cleaning, washing and ironing (what joy!) so once dinner was on, I though Leah would like a little trip to the beach.

Armed with her bucket and spade we set off hand in hand to the seafront - just at the end of the road!

She always loves it there, filling her bucket with shingle and trying to make a sandcastle (that is never going to work, is it?)

She had fun anyway and I enjoyed watching her playing with the shells.

She even ran up the hill on the way home, I wish I had that much energy. No chance with a growing baby inside me !
