Glögg Glögg Glögg *burp*
Hello Friends of the Burrow!
We hope you are all well. Have you had much snow where you are? We've had quite a bit, but not enough to build snowbunnies yet.
It's Christmas market time here in Sweden! Hopefully tomorrow (Sunday 28th) we'll have a Tails from the Burrow stall at a Christmas market in Lund. If you live locally please come along - it's at Folkets hus from 12 noon to 6pm. We'll be selling our calendars, fanzines and badges. We'll have to check that it's OK to have the little baby monkey there with us first though - we'll let you know if we'll be there for definite via Twitter and Facebook tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is a very important day in Sweden: it's the day we start drinking GLÖGG, Swedish mulled wine! Nom! We'll have to keep our bottle out of PC Badger's reach though - look what happened last year!
Have a lovely weekend!

Bunny Christmas Gifts
Hello Burrow Friends!
We hope you are all having a nice weekend. We're really looking forward to Christmas this year – it'll be our baby's very first! Have you thought about Christmas presents yet? Well, here's a good idea... Why not buy a Tails from the Burrow calendar or two for your loved ones?! They'd really make a splendid gift!
You can read all about the calendar here. You can buy the calendars from our online Burrow Shop (or if you're in Sweden, they are available at SF Bokhandeln, Malmö and Stockholm branches).
We also have Tails from the Burrow fanzines and badges on sale in the Burrow Shop.
Please tell your friends about Tails from the Burrow (and our 2011 Calendar!), and direct them to our lovely website: www.tailsfromtheburrow.com!
Hugs and best wishes from all at the Burrow x

Big Plans for Little Bunnies
Hello Burrow Pals!
We had a splendid time celebrating our first birthday last week! Thanks so much for all the greetings and kind words. Now it's time to start thinking about the next 12 months...
We have some big plans for those little bunnies of ours! We have a Christmas quiz lined up (your chance to win a piece of original Tails from the Burrow artwork!), and are working on a poem about the time Sleepy and Lazy went fishing (and got caught!), a rhyming recipe comic and a story about a Baby Monkey arriving in Bluebell Woods.
However our big burrow project for the coming months is Filly and the Fox Cubs. It's in its very early stages at the moment, but it's going to be a sing-a-long comic featuring Filly Sox and his band of fox cubs. We'll keep you updated on our progress with that, and will upload sketches and teasers as we go along!
2011 is to be a year of small publications, fairs and festivals for us: we're planning to make some of our new poems into beautiful booklets, and we'll be participating in as many small press, craft and children's book fairs as we can (finances and new baby permitting). Who knows, we may be coming to a town near you. Please get in touch if you know of any events that might suit us in Europe. Don't worry non-European friends, we promise we'll come to see you one day!

A Brief History of the Burrow: Part Five
The BIG Burrow Project and the Burrow Website
Hello friends! Here is the final installment of A Brief History of the Burrow, a review of Tails from the Burrow's first year.
We spent the Summer working hard on our biggest Burrow project so far – the Tails from the Burrow 2011 Calendar. It consists of 12 detailed, full colour images (each with a hidden badger) and a rhyming couplet for every month (a clever parody of Sarah Coleridge's "The Months" ;-)). It follows a year in Bluebell Woods, featuring a bunny snowball fight in Flanuary, Maypole dancing in Hay, the annual Woodland cricket match in Jelly, and setting traps for carrot theives in Oxtober.
The calendar is undoubtably our greatest accomplishment – Tails from the Burrow at its very best! The first edition of the calendar, limited to 75 copies, sold out within 3 days.
The calendar would make a great Christmas present for someone special, and is available to buy from our on-line shop.
In Jelly we launched our brand new Burrow website – www.tailsfromtheburrow.com! It's home to our best poems and cartoons (in English and in Swedish), and also contains the Burrow Shop. Please have a look at it and let us know what you think!
Our production rate has slowed down a bit lately, due to a new addition to the Burrow, Baby Monkey (born on 18th Oxtober), but we have lots of new burrow projects lined up for the next 12 months. Please keep visiting our website, following our blog and do stay in touch with Twitter or Facebook. We can also be emailed at fromtheburrow@gmail.com
Once again we'd like to thank everyone who has supported us this year, everyone who has enjoyed our work, bought our fanzine and calendar or been to our exhibitions! You've made two silly bunnies very, very happy.

A Brief History of the Burrow: Part Four
Bunnies in Tivoli (and The Burrow på Svenska)
In Prune 2010, Lazyhead became Latis, Sleepybones became Drönis – and the first Swedish versions of Tails from the Burrow adventures appeared in print! Translated by the exceedingly talented friend of the Burrow, Linus Ganman, our stories and poems were published in the Prune, Jelly and Pawgust issues of Tivoli med Vänner, a Swedish Children's comic.
In Pawgust we were invited to participate in Från Skiss till Serie (From Sketch to Comic), an exhibition in Gagnef.
One of the highlights of the Burrow year was being published in Lyrikvännen - a very highly regarded Swedish poetry publication. Sir Nom-a-Lot and the Quest for Orange Gold (Riddar Mums-fili-Baba och jakten pådet eldröda guldet) is in the Oxtober edition.
All our Swedish comics and poems can be found here.
