PlanetJune Blog: Latest News, Patterns and Tutorials

After a strange hiccup this morning where my blog reverted to one month ago, everything now seems to be okay. Please let me know if you find any problems!

Also, if you signed up for the New Patterns mailing list last night or today, you might want to sign up again just to make sure your e-mail address didn’t get lost in the hiccup.

Thanks for your patience! Hopefully everything will run more smoothly on this new server 🙂

UPDATE: I spoke too soon… There are currently 2 versions of my website (old server and new server) and some people are seeing the old one (all posts present) while others were seeing the new one (lots of content missing). I believe I have got all the content into both versions now, and within 24 hours everyone should be seeing the shiny new version!

I’m putting together a reward as a thank you for putting up with all this disruption… Check back here tomorrow afternoon and find out what it is 🙂

The server that hosts PlanetJune.com is having some “issues”, so my webhost is moving my website to a shiny new server which will hopefully be more stable. As a result, PlanetJune.com may disappear for 24 hours or so. Do not despair! I will return and everything will be right in the world again 🙂

The monkeys went out to play today. It was a beautiful day and they were enjoying the sunshine.

Suddenly, they saw a stranger in their tree!

The monkeys moved in to investigate.

“Be careful – keep your distance,” warned Daddy Monkey.

But Baby Monkey wasn’t listening and leapt down to meet the newcomer…

It turns out the newcomer had been too shy to intrude on the family playtime, but once the ice was broken, she was happy to join in the games. The gibbon and the tamarins are now best of friends!

The two ferrets had some playful power struggles at first…

I was going to wait until tomorrow for some daylight but I can’t wait to post this – I’ve just finished crocheting my first Fuzzy Ferret! Sorry the photo is a bit dark, but hopefully you get the idea. Click the pic to see the full-size ferret:

Ferret fans – I’ve made this for you! I tried to make him lifesize – he’s about 14″ long by 4.5″ tall. Hope you approve…

UPDATE: We have better photos! See my new post for more ferrety goodness.
