Yay! It’s the one year anniversary of this blog. And what a crazy action-packed year it has been. I’m having a little give-away in appreciation of all of you, the readers of Blogville.
To enter, just comment on this post sometime this week. On Saturday, May 5th, I will do a random drawing of names from the comments. The winner will receive this cashmere bunny…free to a good home! (please make sure I have a way of contacting you either by linking back to your blog/website or by your email address.) If you don’t remember the bunny from my earlier post, it is made from recycled cashmere sweaters. It is coral on one side, aqua on the other, with a heart needle felted on each side. If you’re not the lucky winner, feel free to make your own!
Humor me now for a short walk down memory lane…
Happy Anniversary. You’re so creative and resourceful. Keep it up!
Happy Anniversary!! I’d love to give that wonderful bunny a home!!!

Have a wonderful day.

Happy Blogiversary!!!
: ) Here’s to another great year!
You have such a great eye for color. I look forward to another year of your blog!
I love the shibori tutorial; not really a fan of bulbous protrusions from my body, your flowers give the balls a reason to stick out! This is something I’ll share with some new shibori enthusiasts in my knitting group.
congrulations!! how exciting…i’m that your citizen of blogville:)

Congratulations! I look forward to another year of inspiration from reading your blog. By the way, my Mom’s name is Bunny, and with Mother’s Day coming up…..
I appreciated the walk down memory lane… even though i have read those links, it reminded me which ones were on my to do list…
Congrats on the year!
I love…LOVE the cute bird. Could you repost the pattern for us late comers? 🙂
Congratulations on one year! That little bunny would find a good home here!
Happy Blogiversary! You’ve got a great blog!
Your felted projects are beautiful! I love the rabbit and the felted bird. I think I’ll try one of the birds. I have a beautiful bird book to go by too. Thanks for the idea.
Happy Blogiversary!
Congratulations on your anniversary. I made the bunny using polarfleece scraps as agift with a baby blanket. I would love to have one of your though.

Happy Blogiversary Betz! You are a great inspiration – thanks for sharing all your ideas with us.
Of course I have to leave a message on your anniversary post. Love your blog and I love your felted goodies that you make. Really looking forward to seeing that book of yours!
Happy Blogiversary! I have a felt bunny I made that I have not known how to embellish. Your needle felt heart gave me an idea. Thank you! Mine won’t be cashmere but I love the idea of needle-felting some embellishments on it. Thanks!
Congratulations! I enjoy reading your blog.

(and do i remember the bunny from the earlier post? I’d had it bookmarked in my “inspiration” folder since it first appeared!)
Happy Blogiversary! I like to visit because I “sew” enjoy everything you do that I can’t. It’s pure joy!
Congrats! Your blog is fantastic and inspiring. And that darling bunny would love it here with me! lol.

Congratulations! I too was of the camp that assumed you were a pro at blogging. Thanks for sharing your creativity with the masses! If I’m not mistaken, aren’t you working on a book – if not, you should be!
Congratulations on your blogiversary.. the tutorial for the bunny is how I found your blog! It is adorable.

Congratulations! I discovered your blog not long before you were on the Martha show. I have enjoyed your talent so much. I made the “cup-o-joe” pincushion for my daughters birthday. (paperpony.net) All this blog reading inspired me to start my own a few days ago. Also…can’t wait to buy your book!
Thanks,
Katie
Congratulations! A year of beautiful blogging and your blogiversary entry is no exception. What a treat the tutorial review is. Felt on!

Congrats Betz! I love everything you make! xoxo
Congratulations! I am so inspired by what you and so many other creative YOUNG artists are doing online. For a few years now I have been making tiny woodburned and painted pins that I sell at art fairs, but I recently discovered needle felting and plan to move in that direction. Since discovering your blog and so many others, my new goal is to learn how to blog, sell online, etc. Your little bunny would be a sweet reminder of what I hope to achieve this year. I am a “senior’ but hopefully still “young at art” and eager to explore new things. THANK YOU!
I read your blog, in its entirety, the whole year, last week. I love every thing you do!
I would love to win that pretty cashmere bunny. I tell so many people about your wonderful website and blog and I am anxiously awaiting the release of your book. Thanks for the retrospective!
Here’s to a fabulous year of blogging. Looking forward to seeing many more inspiring posts. Thank you!!!
Kim
Congratulations. And thanks for all the wonderful tutorials.
Congratulations on your blog, you really are so inspiring! I can’t wait to get started on some of the felted wool I got from you. Thanks for all the great ideas you give and I would be thrilled to win the bunny!
Donna
Here’s to another year of creativity! Congratulations. I just want to know how you manage to find so many cashmere sweaters to make your gorgeous creations! Best wishes, Ros, Australia.
Happy blogiversary to youuu… Please keep inspiring to all of us, you are a really great person to share these lovely things! 😉
i’d love a bunny…tried to make one for easter but it didn’t quite work out the way i’d hoped.
congratulations on the anniversary…

Congrats on your 1 year blogversary! How do you find such colorful wool sweaters…I have gone to the Goodwill a few times now, and I only seem to find them in brown and black!! Maybe I will have to buy some of your scraps!

Hi Betz,
Kudos and Happy Blogiversary! I would love to give the darling Cashmere Bunny a great home! P.S. I graduate next week and it would be a great graduation present!
You were amazing on Martha! Your book is coming! What an awesome year you’ve had!
Your tutorials are inspirational and certainly foster our collective creative spirit. I have to say that I no longer look at wool (or vintage fabric and buttons) the same — it is now a fab recycling opportunity! Your blog is a ray of sunshine in the blogsphere!

This blog has been cute, fun and inspirational. I’ve started felting old sweaters and using them in projects because of this blog.
Wow, congratulations on your whole year. You must be so proud. I can’t wait to get your book as soon as it comes out, and it would look great with an original Betz bunny sitting on top! :0)
