I have finished my little wonky rabbit and she is now on ebay, with the full proceeds of the auction being donated to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. Just think, not only will you be helping some Victorian people who are truly in need but you will be gaining a new little soft friend.
Please note that this auction will be in Australian Dollars (making it all the cheaper for some of you international folk) and that I am going to be donating 100% of the proceeds to the Red Cross.
She isn’t really toddler/baby friendly as she has buttons but if you are so inclined, you could snip the buttons off without too much trouble. That being said, she isn’t really built to withstand lots of rough play, but my kids have loved their versions of these toys for several years now and they seem to be holding up ok.
I hope you like her! See handmade help for lots more ideas for helping out those in need.
Thanks for looking! And bidding

Wow, that was a bit of an unscheduled break, but I’m back! Back in time for My Creative Space. This week I am making a couple of rabbits – one I am going to put up for auction with all proceeds going to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal, the other is for a trade I *still* owe for some of those fab vintage wall plaques. I have also been doing a little bit of writing, and still calling it a “learning experience”. 56,000 words is quite the learning experience.
Links I have been loving this week with regards to creativity:
* Elizabeth Gilbert talks about genius at the TED talks. LOVE this. Take the 20 minutes to enjoy it. (thanks Chelsea!)
* Writing and music, thoughts on writing by Haruki Murakami
* Daily Routines, “How writers, artists and other interesting people orgaize their days” (via don’t question me)
ALSO check out the latest issue of Frankie magazine for my contribution to the Meet Me At Mikes book – and get ready to buy your copy very soon for more such goodness (and much better resolution photos).
ALSO – I’m still loving Twitter. Please come and play along!
Stay tuned for bunny auction details. I hope to list her early next week.

Such a terrible week so far. Thank you to those who have emailed or commented regarding our safety. We are at least half an hour from the fires and are at no risk.
Please donate what you can to the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal to help the thousands effected by these fires.
*** Edited to add: See also Meet Me at Mikes, and Handmade Help for more ways in which you can help out. ***
Back soon. xx
