Lovely things...

Scrumptious new yarns...
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

P.S. Spring Giveaway will start next week!

Happy flowers....

This is 'Lily Bunny' made in colours inspired by my pretty 
Heather Bailey fabric!

She is only 9" tall and is wearing her gardening pinafore and boots with bows

along with her long stripy stockings and has a little grey bobble tail.

She has been knitted from the 'Lily Bunny' pattern 
which is now available in my

ETSY Shop

Thank you so much to everyone who has already purchased 
the new 'Lily and Samuel' knitting patterns

and especially for all the kind messages and support.

It has been so lovely to have old friends return once again

along with lots of new visitors too!

 ~♥~

They have been so lucky to have already made appearances
 in some beautiful ETSY treasuries

This one is titled

 'Pastel Easter' by Katerina of.

Maya-Honey

(an ETSY shop selling beautiful handmade lampwork glass beads)

♥ Thank you Katerina!

You can visit all the lovely ETSY shops included in the treasury 

by clicking the link 

here

I've had lots of enquiries as to if they would be available 

for instant download in our Little eBook Shop

and so yesterday I managed to add the 

'Spring Bunny Collection'

and hope to add them as single patterns over the next few days.

The double pattern has been the most requested by far 

and so I have added this first.....

It does take me a little while to get my head around the coding

(being so technically challenged at times!)

It has made me realise too how downloadable patterns have become 

so much more popular over just the last few months

Times are definitely a changing...

~♥~

I hope you have a lovely Easter break with your loved ones

doing all the things you most like to do

~♥~
Now, I have lots of blog catching up to do over the Easter holidays
and I'm so looking forward to seeing what everyone has been up to....
Time for a lovely cup of tea and visit my friends in Blogland!
~♥~
Thank you so much as always for calling by..
See you very soon
