Some funny animal photos for your day.
Junos’ inquisitive looks from the side of the lounge always make me laugh. I’ve mentioned my obsession with bunny mouths, but this is a little ridiculous. Oh the cuteness!
Sydney park is a hub of puppy excitement and wilfy just loves the long grass.
And relaxing in the duck pond.
Happy days! Kx
I received some adorable dutch flower bike decorations, direct from Amsterdam (with a little organisation from Trev). My fave is the little lawn now growing on the parcel seat on the back.
We bought a food processor, mini cheesecakes were made.
We spent some time waiting….
for coffee and crepes. This place is super cute (and delicious), if in the area check it out.
I spent some time painting…
And making some cute new things for The Storybook Rabbit etsy shop.
And Trev built Wilfy some turf boxes (note dirt moustache). Yes, they are for what you are thinking they’re for, when they’ve grown in a bit.
And miss Juno spent time doing what she does best. Sitting and eating with her belly overhanging her legs. (isn’t she just gorgeous though?)
You might have noticed from these photos I’ve spent some time on instagram lately. What a fun little thing it is. If you want to see countless photos of fur babies and bunny stuff, do find me there under “thestorybookrabbit” so we can be instafriends. Kx
By the (preferably open) window, on top of my china cabinet. Cleverly from this point in the house, she can oversee all goings-on and is out of reach of all puppies. She even carries her carrot in her mouth and hops up to eat it here. This spot has only recently become available, after we moved a lamp which then became a step up and I cleared a space to take photos on my cabinet. I fear it has now been claimed for good, but really, what’s cuter than this? Kx
I realise now I rudely never wished you all a Merry Christmas last week. Unfortunately as lovely as christmas is, it’s also one of the busiest times in all aspects of life, so alas, my yuletide greetings went by the wayside. So apologies, but I hope you truly had a great one! Here are some little highlights from our festive season so far.
Our custom portrait by Miss Lauren Carney turned up in time to be gifted to my boy for christmas. We are so impressed by this girl’s talent and are in love with our little piece of art created by her (hey, it’s even on the wall already!). It’s a loose documentation of our last two years together (we celebrated our anniversary this month too), including icons from places we’ve visited, the kids and other cute stuff.
Lynds gave me an AMAZING garland by confetti system I’ve been drooling over for a few months now and I must say I do think it looks rather good on our hallway wall.
But lets face it, nothing will beat this gift from Trev. My new bike!! It’s by Melbourne company Papillionaire and I LOVE IT to death.
Custom Storybook tees made for some special little boys I know, I’m told they went down well on Christmas day.
The Peanut butter cheesecake I baked for christmas day. This baby contained two blocks of lindt chocolate (one in the topping, one in the base) and almost half a jar of peanut butter in the middle section. To say the least it was decadent, but amazing.
The fur kiddies also enjoyed Christmas, Wilfy spent a lot of time chewing sticks from the garden, possibly one of his favourite past times.
And Juno barged her way into his bed one morning, much to Wilfy’s surprise and excitement.
We’re taking a little break over new years to spent some time at our family beach house (with both the fur kiddies -eek!). We’re looking forward to not working, laying on the sand and escaping Sydney for a little while (even though we love you!).
A big thank you to everyone who reads our blog and for your continued support of Made By White, The Storybook Rabbit and Candy Stripe Cloud, it would all be pointless without you and we appreciate your input! See you all in 2012 K & L xx
It’s been a very long and boring week, so I’m sorry I have nothing super exciting to mention just yet. It’s been a week of packing endless orders (did we mention our Made By White super SALE is on till friday night only -get in quick!) & countless trips to the post office.
A week of puppies waiting patiently for you to find two minutes to throw their toy.
A week of bunnies hiding in boxes waiting for the warmth to come back.
And sometimes when it’s a week like this AND you have to go grocery shopping, it’s the little things (literally and metaphorically) that give you a thrill. We bought miniature penne (something we eat quite frequently in the regular sized form).
And made our favourite cherry tomato, basil, bocconcini and pine nut pasta. It was a highlight AND delicious. Kx
A nice thing that happened last week is that Juno suddenly decided Wilfy wasn’t so bad to be around. Bribed with lots of basil and attention, she finally ventured out of the bedroom to hang out with us.
Then she walked right up to Wilfred…much to his surprise. And sat with him on the rug.
Then they had a little sniff of each other.
and then she decided that yes, actually, he really is the most gross thing she’s ever smelt….
And Wilfy went back to making his own fun with the paper towel roll.
It was a nice little moment while it lasted, and luckily Juno has decided that being with us is much nicer than laying on top of my box of belts…most of the time. Kx
Lots of walks to Sydney Park to play with the other puppies and roll in the grass..
The kids in the morning, looking for some love…
Or a carrot for breakfast…
Sleepy afternoons spent next to my desk.
Car trips to fun places…
Like the beach!
Where everything taste better if its covered in sand.
Hope you’ve all had a lovely time lately too. Kx
I picked up a fantastic 1970′s quilt at my favourite vintage shop in Newtown. It’s the perfect mix of fluro and floral in my opinion.
I drew a new bunny couple.
And quickly applied them to the appropriate plates! Some still available here.
Juno’s been lazing about as usual and molting all over the place! Our house is fur-ball city right now.
She also been very demanding with her diet since our return, having become quite accustomed to living with a vegetarian aunty and uncle! She’s going crazy for parsley…
And mint!
And we’ve also been working on lots of colourful and cute new earrings on the Made By White side of things! More on that very soon. Kx
Sometimes its the simplest things that you miss the most. Like real coffee!
Home baked cakes.
I’m having fun revisiting early purchases in Amsterdam…
And receiving the mail I posted home…I’d forgotten all about these amazing vintage trims I bought in Amsterdam till I opened the box again. No idea what I will do with them yet, but they were too pretty to leave behind.
And total joy! Having full access to my wardrobe again!
Opening the mail box and finding possibly the most amazing wedding invite I’ve ever seen. Of course, I expected nothing less from this lovely lady, but still…wow!
And of course spending time with this little fluff ball (who’s shedding fur left, right and centre at the moment!)
Hope everyone had a lovely week with a lot less jet lag than mine, happy weekend! Kx
Some new bit and pieces on The Storybook Rabbit front. Some custom orders and new characters! Here are a few little highlights from this weeks’ batch of goodies:
You can now own Juno on a plate! (because trust me, after the week we’ve spent in struggle town with her, you don’t want the real thing! How can one bunny be SO naughty!?)
Is that a Baby Deer in a party hat? Why yes, it is!
Cute watercolour mama and baby buns.
And finally a little peek at what I’ve been working on this week. After getting a request for a bear plate, all I could think was why haven’t I drawn one before? Kx
