Giveaway and Bunny News

A few years ago i designed and made a set of spring bunnies and showed them here on my blog.......some of you may remember them :).......they were called flora, snowdrop and primrose....................

 ......and they each had a flowery skirt or dress and a knitted cardigan with tiny buttons.............

 ....just recently i have made one more spring bunny.....she is called miss hyacinth and i have made her especially to give away to one of my lovely readers..........she has hyacinth blue spotty ears, a sweet floral skirt and a little hand knitted sweater in hyacinth pink tipped with blue.......the pretty fabric is from pam kitty morning.....i love that gorgeous shade of blue.................

....if you would like a chance to win this bunny then simply leave me a comment on this post....that's all you have to do.....the giveaway will be open till february 11, it is open to to everyone even if you don't have a blog (but please make sure you leave an email address if not, so i can contact you if you win), and i am happy to send anywhere in the world :)....i will pick the winner by random number generator and announce it around valentine's day..............

 ..........this week i have been working on some collage illustrations, similar to the ones shown in the background here...................

 .............i love the variety of different crafts and how one often inspires another..............

                                                  ............some of my own hyacinths............

 ............and some very sweet new rubber stamps....these are very pretty and delicate designs.......

                 ............i've been using them to make gift tags and other things this week..............

....as for the bunny news mentioned in my title today??.....well, one of the most frequently asked questions i receive here is about my new bunny patterns and where they can be found?.......this is the back cover of my new book called pretty patchwork gifts.......please meet the sugar bunnies....a set of pretty little rabbits with patchwork frocks......i'm delighted to say that the bunny and frock patterns plus instructions are all in the book............i will be showing and telling more about the sugar bunnies (bluebell, petunia, and pansy) very soon.......

                  .........knitting for a small bunny is very enjoyable and surprisingly speedy work too......

                        ........one last picture of miss hyacinth sitting on the cupcake cushion.........
