<br />
I am so very excited to finally show you what Dan and I have been so busily working on for the past few weeks.<br />
<br />
A seed of an idea for a fresh new Logo and new look for my pattern covers has been in my mind for a long time and after many hours of drawing, planning and a few heated moments :) we are finally ready to reveal all.<br />
<br />
This is my first design for 2014... <a href="http://mayblossom.bigcartel.com/product/rabbit-s-garden" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><i>'Rabbit's Garden'</i></span> </a>an adorable felt book, it comes complete with a bunny to hop from page to page, removable carrots, apples, lemons and hens!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We have also been busy setting up an online shop so you can purchase all May Blossom designs old and new now directly from me. Many of my designs have been uploaded and many more will be added in the next week or so... keep checking in to see what's new.<br />
<br />
I am also delighted to offer many of my drawings as cards... finally my little creatures can come to life on paper!! :)... these will be added in the next little while also.<br />
<br />
My online store can be accessed via my new look website <a href="http://www.mayblossom.com.au/" target="_blank">www.mayblossom.com.au </a> or my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/May.Blossom1" target="_blank">Facebook page</a><br />
<br />
Hope you like the fresh new look :)<br />

I have had this little guy in mind for quite some time now... I am absolutely and completely in love with Robins.<br />
I would just love to see one in his own little world...flitting and hopping about in the snow, red breast blazing... I would be captivated!<br />
<br />
One of the most amazing and wondrous things about them, is their eggs are the most beautiful blue...my favourite colour!!<br />
<br />
Well to say the least it is a love affair!<br />
So here is my little tribute to this incredible bird..<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">'Little Robin Red Vest' </span></i>made from linen and fabric with the most precious little felt vest to keep him warm on those snowy days...<br />
