Well, the ear infections cleared up (knock on wood) and giraffes are now in the shop. If you're interested there are some pictures of them close up over on Flickr: Frank, Hermoine and Abe. I've had to increase the price very slightly to cover costs because I'm making these guys about 10cm taller (and a whole lot plumper) than they used to be. Also, I've hopefully fixed the mailing list problems by moving the whole shebang to this new provider. These new peeps are cheap and, so far, good. The last provider I used had a few problems (including, ultimately, not delivering any emails I sent - kind of a cornerstone function of an email list service!) If you had problems joining the last one and would like to receive a note when I list new toys, the box to join is in the top right hand column of this blog. Seriously, thankyou if you have made it this far. :)
Anyway, enough of this talk. Today is Sunday and among other things, I'm hoping to cut out some new toys, catch up on emails, sew up a cushion and test some white paint. Happy weekend, all!
Oh, just about to save this post and I've noticed that two all giraffes have already gone, but Abe remains. Thankyou so much! xo
Yes I wasnt quick enough again to purchase one of your gorgeous giraffes. Perhaps next time! They all so cute and adorable.

No wonder they don't get to stay in the shop for long - they are so sweet! I know now that I will have to keep prowling the shop the next time you announce that there will be giraffes...

They are so amazing, no wonder they sell out so fast!

They are very lovely!
I just added some photos of my own knitted giraffes to site I came across ( http://olahelland.net/giraffes/ ) that is looking for images of handmade giraffes, wanting to find a million giraffes by 2011 - thought your giraffes might make a lovely contribution when i saw this post. He'd get to count 3 giraffes :)

Fiona, they are gorgeous. Those long necks are worth it all! Glad to hear everyone is better (knocking on wood for you).
