Here`s Riley, a real cutey

I want to show you my latest bunny. He is called Riley and I think he is gorgeous even if I do say it myself. I do not do as many boy bunnies as girls, as they dont sell so well, but personally, prefer them. This little guy is no exception.
He will have to have a proper photoshoot before going into the shop, but here are some cloudy day preliminary pics.

Look What Grows in My Garden

I have been clearing up the garden a bit this week as well as getting those horses ready for Cutey Critters and you would think now I am going to show you marvelous plants, beautiful lawns and freshly swept paths topped off with a table set for afternoon tea. The fact of the matter is, I am still not done and have to return to work tomorrow. All I have to show for my work is 3 bin bags in the boot to go to recycling centre.

I could not resist though, a shot of this unusual pot plant. Hope you like :D

Cutey Critters open for Business

Well the new shop is open! Its not finished really but whats the point of having stock sat in your studio when it can be off to deserving homes. I still need a banner but its a start anyway. What do you all think? Here a couple more I finished since we last spoke.
As promised, giveaway coming very soon. Please go tell your friend as I think these make really good boy presents. Lets be honest, they can be very tricky to buy for. For more pictures pop off to the shop and take a peek.

New Shop Nearly Ready!!!!

I have been working away these past few weeks to get some of these finished for my new shop just for the toys. The brown ones are for a custom request and going out tomorrow. I wanted to show them as they have the personalisation on the saddle that I am offering on all my horses.
The `Strawberry Sundae` and Buttermilk will be the first to go in. I have pistachio, lavender and a brown and orange ones almost done too. I hope to get these done this week and have a couple of my bunnies to sew up and then the shop will be good to go.

I think a grand opening giveaway will be in order so watch this space. It will be a blog follower thing so if you don't follow now, why not pop yourself on the list and spread the word as the prize will be better the more entrants there are.

Felt Giveaway

Its Annies giveaway time again. Lots to give away. I am using these felts for my horses as we speak so I highly recommend both the product and the seller. Click here to go to the page.
Next time. What I make with these felts.

Pandas anyone?

I have been somewhat remiss with the old blog recently, but I have been working hard, I promise. I finished this panda a wee while ago and forgot to show you all. She is made purely in Louisa Harding Nautical Cotton and although I made her some clothes, they really did nothing to enhance her whatsoever.She looks so much better this way with a cute bow. So I have kept the clothes for a discerningly modest bunny.

I have also been working on some stuff for a custom order which I had to just send but never mind. I managed to take a quick snap of just some of it. Clip on pouches to hold the doggie poop bags. I don't have a dog but I felt sure these would be useful and so did my customer and placed me a nice order.


I am keeping Patsy for my new etsy shop `Cutey Critters` which I will be opening properly soon. I have finished 2 felt horses and almost finished a new bunny for the shop, then I have enough to be starting with. Its all go here, I tell you.

Update on Sad Day for us

Just over a week has passed since we said goodbye to dear Mr. Pip. Since then I have planted a lovely flowering cherry tree where he rests and some alchemilla mollis and pink chrysanthemums in a back breaking round bed in the front garden. The tree will flower at around the right time every year and I think I will order a little plaque. We have, part tongue in cheek, and part seriously, named it Pips memorial garden.
The other thing I have done is booked a tattoo in Pips image. I have one tattoo already and have wanted another ever since the last was done. What better thing than my faithful friend. I cant wait, but as my preferred artist is very busy, it will not be until August.
I am a true believer of doing something positive in adversity, it helps with the healing.
I also want to thank you all both here and on twitter for all your kind messages.
My daughter has lots more photos of the little guy on her blog if you are interested.
Meanwhile, my remaining cat Tubby is getting away with murder and getting loads of fuss.
