i heart gocco

God, it feels like forever since I’ve been here…  The most exciting event of the last week was the arrival of my Gocco on Friday.  And the fact that I’ve barely stopped since has meant that I didn’t actually get to play with until late yesterday afternoon.  I hate weekends like that.  Where you have things to do.  Things that you can’t put off.

Like I got out of work at three on Friday (early finish on a Friday - yipee!) to find four missed calls from John, three from his sister and a mountain of text messages about a rabbit that a friend of John’s rescued from a house where it was being mistreated.  Could I go and pick it up and find somewhere for it to live?  Well, why not eh?  So the rest of Friday was a barrage of yet more frantic calls and texts to everyone I know and some I don’t to try and find a home for the poor thing.  And she is gorgeous.  A brown lionhead who is incredibly sweet tempered considering her experiences with us humans.  Long story short, she’s now with the RSPCA.  We couldn’t keep her because of Donald and Enid but I was stupidly upset to see her go.  So if you’re interested in adopting and adorable indoors rabbit who will keep your plants under control, let me know…

I digress though, here are the results of my first Gocco session yesterday afternoon,

If you don’t know this already, let me tell you, Gocco is amazing.  I am in love.  I’m going to package some of these up to sell in the shop at the start of next week, I’ll let you know when they’re up if you’re interested in some cute bunnies to let people know, well, whatever…

There’s loads more to tell you about like my trip home where I went to York with my sister forgetting that it was the Viking festival that weekend,

There was a huge queue behind this particular Viking, but to be fair, a cash machine is new technology to them.  We also went to the yarn shop in the Shambles and marvelled at the many things on sale.  Miraculously I only cam e away with some four-ply to make these

But for now I have to go, I’ve got Mother’s Day presents to make as well as sorting out swap parcels that I need to send off next weekend.  Happy Sunday x
