My ink, watercolor, color pencil illustration of family of rabbits visiting on an autumn day. Mama Bunny leads the way carrying a pumpkin tureen. Followed by sister bunny holding a bag of apples. The bag has a hole at the bottom and it's leaking apples. Which causes the bunny behind her to trip, throwing his plate of cupcakes in the air. The bunny bringing up the rear is carrying a pie and is distracted by the cupcakes. Hopefully he won't trip on an apple. This is a self- promotional postcard - my contact on the bottom reads: Diana Ting Delosh • illustrator/storyteller • diana delosh.com represented by Lynnette Novak of The Seymour Agency

This is the hat that I referred to in my previous post. I’m not sure if the link to Instagram works, so this is a screenshot of the original post. The pattern is Love a Duck, available from my Ravelry store ( link in bio) and the yarn is from blackcheviot.com

Following my poem in their recent Ekphrasis Adventure issue, there's a short interview with me up on the @littlethoughtspress.com website:

www.littlethoughtspress.com/post/intervi...

The picture 'Portrait Painting' by Olivia McGinty.

A quote from the interview by Ian Brownlie: "Writing for children is very freeing, and there’s a huge pleasure in creating something silly or magical or just true that could resonate with children and lead them to think about things differently. Or just make them laugh. I think humour for its own sake is underrated in most creative fields."

Great interview!! 👏👏👏 I have to say, the 'Toothpaste Factory' book sounds very intriguing... I'm Googling now! 😂 🤗
