Suki la is famous world wide...

I know you know about my Suki... I show you pics all the time:)
But today Suki had a whole blog post through lillyella's blog focus on etsy pets:)here is the link:)

Suki- la naps.

Full stretch.




Partial tuck.



Rear chicken, frontal sphinx.



Excuse me! I was enjoying dreams of Banana and ham!

What else is going on at the ghetto??

Well yes... you might ask this question... surely in the 6.5 weeks on holidays you are not just making your sister a birthday present! Especially when you have such a helpful bunny assistant.
No. The task today involved no bunnies.
But it is mainly due to a certain cord eating bunny that this project had to be pursued. Also a certain husband who believes that you can attach anything to the tv and leave it hanging out all over the place...

A new tv unit was in order! Bunny proof! Sufficient for all the TV things! Cord hiding! Pretty! Here is the plans... http://ana-white.com/2010/04/furniture-plans-apothecary-cabinet-console-part-1.html

We are going to go for a distressed look in neutral tones:) Kind of more like this picture...

So we started with a trip to bunnings and a particularly horrid drive home in the car with a full sheet of MDF because that bunnings doesn't cut MDF.... also must say terrible recommendation on particle board... Bunnings man you were wrong. Particle board is a terrible idea when the ends aren't capped... Use MDF or plywood!
But all the same we will sort it out with a thick primer or something!!

Here are a our materials for part 1 of the plans -

Didn't use all that much stuff... I was surprised...  Next part of the plan only requires the ingredients for the drawers so almost a bargain!:)

This is the bits all cut up for the framework of the cabinet... not tooooo many bits... I'm pretty bad at cutting so if there are too many bits things can go very very wrong...

It was definately a two preson task without the appropriate workbench and clamps... but its nice to build with someone else anyway... as you can see... Alex was very "excited" about building with me... its not really his thing... at all... but when a lady needs building help!! Especially when he realised we would be customising it for easy cord access (for humans not bunnies) he was there!!

This is the first sticking everything together step... the frame now has a top and one side... the drill ran out of batteries so we had to stop for the day... Alex was somewhat concerned about the stability of the framework when combined with the giant tv and all his special items inside... but I believe it will be ok... We will have to investigate later:) When it has two legs...

I can't lie. I am super excited about it.  I am imagining it finished right now. yes. nice. :)

You can't tell me it's not the cutest thing in the world...

This is my Suki-La. When she was a baby... 8 weeks. How could you not fall in love with her?? hehe Check out how tiny she was!! She had to be held in a towel.. she didn't have erm.. great bladder control - she was a teeny baby!
Now she is coming up to 4 years old!

This is what I wake up to every morning....

Pic from here.

My bun bun, Suki-La, is in a particularly high state of neediness today and is being quite the rat bag... but this morning started off like any other... with a little face EXTREMELY similar to the one above.... a little face that has been waiting all night and couldn't cope any more with the waiting for pats. Waking up her family with a touch of whisker face and head butting for pats...
My favourite bunny view:)

Neeeearly there...:)

It is Tuesday night. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Then like 5 weeks of holidays! YAY! Paid holidays:) This is my favourite week of school usually. So chilled out... activities week and all... I am running a craft activity on Thursday. But usually we would just do our catch up work during the day and go out for lunch... but this week, no such luck because my good friend lunch buddy has been sick! I did get to go out to lunch Monday though... delicious risotto! My favourite.

I spent last week wrapping little gifts for my home group kids - I had a helper - here she is -


So helpful.... but afterwards you just need to relax. Mega relax.


These are some presents I have made for some friends. I am experimenting with frills:) They are so girly cute!

I find more of my inspiration from the materials I have around my house! Here are some of my vintage buttons. I love them:) I have to sort them into a spectrum. I can't help it. My derwents are also in perfect number/colour order. You would never guess looking at the state of my linen closet. That might be a holiday job:)
