Paper Bunnies

As I was wrapping up some parcels, I noticed quite a few little bunnies had  appeared...

They was the little Bunnikins gift tags which like to travel the world with the shop bunnies as a tiny Thank you to all the people who come to visiting us. We do love visitors over there, everyone gets a thank you, a bow and a bunny note...

...oh I spy more new bunnies on notepaper too!

These are just for my little scribbles, though I'm thinking of a second print run for the little shop.

I'd forgotten all about them! I was only going to share the tags and these...

I got new Moo!

I love Moo. I am still smitten with mini cards, I don't think I'll ever want a normal sized business card while this little guys are around (especially with their cute boxes)... and I'm falling quickly for their sticker books too! Tiny glossy stickers for everything! I'm just itching for an excuse to buy more :)

If you have been wanting to give them a go, I have a two codes for 15% off your first order I can pass on, just let me know if you want one. You can make anything with them - mini cards, stickers, notecards and Christmas cards too.

I have lots to do tonight, though I struggle to remember what. I think one of the things I've been meaning to do is write a to do list, so I'll probably do that first. Oh, to be an organised person...

Happy Mondays!

Antsy

As a kid, I wanted many weird and wonderful pets.

An ant farm was always high on my list.

I loved the patterns the tunnels made between the glass and to see all the tiny ants busying themselves.

I never had my own ant farm. The idea of an escape meant I wasn't allowed one and I get all tickled by the thought of ants in a picnic so it was probably for the best. Luckily I don't have to worry about that with these little flossy ones.

Happy Holidays!

Looking around old blogland, I noticed today is Thanksgiving for a lot of you.
We don't celebrate it over in the little old UK but I have always thought it sounds like a wonderful holiday idea and as I have much to be thankful for, I thought I would share a little bit of holiday cheer and love.

I'm so thankful that everyone I care about is safe and loved.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day

Spooky Mail

Any minute now I'm running off up North for a weekend away, but first I had to share some snail mail...

This little bundle of spooky goodness came from Jess of Rainbow Sweet Stitch. Jess was the winner of my trick or treat goodie parcel and in return she sent me Halloween goodies too :)

What with all the Christmas crazy going on around here, I didn't have a chance to make anything with the cool fabric patches... a spooky cat, bat and my favourite pumpkin but they are safely stowed to make into a cute decoration next year.  You can see the awesome things Jess made with the patches on her blog and in her fantastic etsy shop.

My favourite thing of all was this super cute card with a candy corn who tastes like death! I Love him!!

We don't have candy corn over in the UK but I am so tempted to try some now. I guess they taste more like gummy sweets than death though, right?

Best dash, I'm being told to get in the car...

Thank you so much Jess!

and I hope everyone has lovely weekends

Oh and I love to know where the card came from... I think Santa needs to bring me some :)

Winter Puds

Tonight I had a desperate longing for a warm winter pudding.

As I was up to my elbows in butter and sugar whipping up a super quick cherry crumble, I remember I had another Pudding I was needing to share (not that I wanted to share my crumble... hee hee)

This little flatie fellow is the warmest of all the winter pud. Rich, fruit stuffed, brandy soaked Christmas Pudding... yummm my favourite! My family will tell you that not a year has gone by where I haven't had seconds of Xmas pud, thirds some years... and if I must be completely honest, I even buy one straight after Christmas to go in the cupboard and be eaten on a cold March evening.

And keeping with my personal tradition of seconds, I just had to have another year of these cuties. These Flatie and pins are bringing their Xmas cheer to the little shops, and are keeping last year's fat little softie Puddings company although teasing them a little about being 'leftovers' :)

Now who wants some figgy pudding?

Sunday Snippets

Lazy snippets of a lazy day...

...sat curled under the blanket as I sew it. Fifty nine squares strangely stitched together, just over half way there...

...and look at the left hand side - sun for my Sunday! Thank you so much to everyone for the photo tips and for the comfort of knowing I'm not the only one beaten by a grey day :)

As I have gone onto bright things that make you smile... I was planning to put more granny squares together tonight but I spotted Hannah's journal and I am now itching to do something cheerful to mine. I have a page to share from a few weeks back but I can't remember for the life of me where its hung. Here's a sneak peek:

And absolutely unrelated in every way except for it being something that made me super happy. I found my new favourite place yesterday...

so lovely it feels like I dreamt it all now...

Happy Sundays

Snowmen in my Sketchbook

Quite literally there are tiny Sweet Snowmen hiding in there...

Bunny fancied a change from her Snowbunnies and thought she'd make her first Snowman. I think she did quite well!

And over the page...

... a much larger friend for her!

I have very miserable wintery weather here. No snow, but lots of rain, blustery winds and the greyest of grey light making photo taking a nightmare! The poor Sweet Snowmen are exhausted from no less than 6 days of photo shoots (as am I). We tried many backgrounds... white, green, spotted, trees, Russian, craft brown and scribbles, and finally we have a selection of pics for the little shops.

Phew!

Now I know you are a clever bunch with some very pretty pictures... any tips for someone suffering with miserable light?
