Joyous Prints for Joyous People

Check out these awesome prints from london design based company Ruka-Ruka!  Either customise your print accordingly or select one of their pre-made designs ready to mail now!  I've just ordered the Circus one for my baby nephew Harry & I simply cannot wait to give him it!  The alphabet would be adorable for a Nursery & I have my eye on the Venn diagram one for an Anniversary gift for Hubby!  Eeee...Lovely stores make my heart happy!

Art-Fest!

So further to my post on completing my visual arts diary this semester I thought I'd share with you what Line Art I've done this week!  For a chick who has a severe liking for all things parallel & more than a few OCD tendencies mixing it up a bit has been a little difficult!  The fact some of my obscure lines were contained within a jigsaw shape eased the blow for me, HaHa!  I blame my linear education on causing me to be the way I am!  Kids should most definitely be taught to colour out the lines on occasions!

This week we're working on Space & Shape...Oh the Joy!

Playing Peek-a-Boo!

Headed to the vets again next week for another ultrasound but for now Mr Fearn is back to his normal self - chilled out little guy during the day and absolute mentalist as of the evening :)  

We purchased a shed load of toys from The Melbourne Rabbit Clinic which we've been mixing up on a daily basis, his current fave is a silver key ring type toy with wooden chews and bells on it, the first night he started playing with I was nodding off in bed only to be startled by what I originally thought was burglars, Ha!  Good job we're used to it now!

What's your bunnies favourite toys?  Is there any you'd recommend?

I'm currently in the process of starting my Art portfolio as part of one of my education units.  I find art somewhat challenging and have no idea where I'm going to pluck the time from to dedicate to it!  Our first assignment is 2 line drawings, one using collage!  As a result I've spent some time trawling the internet for inspiration & thought I'd share a few of the ones I loved!  How adorable are those feet?  They make me happy :)  All are super impressive, unlike mine at present...

Wish me Luck!

Lately...

Hey All,

Having been under the pump recently at Uni I thought I'd make the time to upload a little post!  Here's some photos of our main man himself, feeling much better and back to his naughty little self (if not naughtier!)

Hubby's been away this week on a golfing trip with his work buddies which has made administering Fearn's antibiotics somewhat troublesome!  2 of us?  Not a problem!  Going solo?  UhUh! I think Fearn thinks he's won & has been parading around the house somewhat triumphant, you wait till Hubby hits home tonight,  Fearno, I fear you're in for a rude awakening :)

We have another check in with the vet in a few weeks time so they can ultrasound his tummy & check on the remaining abscesses!  Will keep you posted!

Hope this finds you all fabulously fabulous!

AuntieHood, Eeee...!

I would like to say a HUGE 'Welcome to the World' to our brand spanking new baby nephew, Harry George Jonathan :) & a HUGE 'Congratulations' to my beautiful Brother & Sister-in-law on such an awesome job of creating a real life little person!  

It's so difficult being on the other side of the world at an exciting time like this, when all I really want to do is jump on a plane back to the UK for a lungful of that sweet newborn smell! I have a flight booked in a months time so for now I shall have to eagerly await photo updates & practice some patience! 

Not long now Harry, we love you to the moon & back already & the world seems a much brighter place for having you here with us.

On the Mend

Brave Brave Bunny!

Rest & Relaxation - The Key to a Successful Recovery!

Feeling Better & Sampling our Melways!

Darling Readers,

I'm so sorry it's taken me a while to post again but it has been quite some week as you can imagine.

I'm ECSTATIC to tell you that sweetie pie Fearny is on the mend, & that after his (we've now started referring to him as Male due to his gender revelation as previously discussed, Ha!) post-surgery check up today our wonderful Vet has told us she's super happy with his progress, Yay!

We're now able to stop critical care feeding him much to Hubby & mine's delight.  It was so tough holding the little fella still & attempting to get 10ml of stinky liquid food in to his mouth.  To be fair, we were pretty useless on our first attempts & got more over each other & the floor than in Fearn's mouth.  We got better at it but it's still not nice having to firmly grapple with him at 2hr intervals, especially in the early hours (note to self: we can definitely delay the kids)!  We continue to administer antibiotics twice a day but they're much easier to bang on in due to their gel like nature & small quantities needed to be given.

The remaining abscesses in his tummy remain a concern but we're currently making the most of the Fearn time we've been blessed with & shall cross our fingers (& toes) that the medicine we're administering will assist in shrinking the bad boys down!

Thank you SO much to all you lovely people out there who sent well wishes to us across the miles.  I'm reasonably new to this blogging malarky & your kind comments made us feel so supported it was unreal!  Rest assured I personally read out all your messages to the Fearnster himself & he thinks you're all pretty darn lovely too :)  We feel truly humbled to have made so many special new friends!

I shall be sure to keep you updated on his progress,

Have a wonderful weekend,

R (& F) xx

Poorly Bunny :(

I write this entry with a sad heart today!  My darling bunny Fearn is sick & after having emergency surgery today, the Vet managed to remove 5 giant abscesses from her tummy.  Unfortunately 3 still remain & are too awkward to remove but the hope is that she's strong enough to pull through the night & we may be able to shrink the remaining abscesses with anti-biotics.
I've had rabbit's since I was a kid & never has a bunny had to have major surgery before.  We were so shocked & when the Vet showed us those ugly abscesses I was dumbstruck.  How the heck did they all fit inside her tummy anyhow?  She's only little!
It seems silly & I feel ever so slightly embarrassed over how upset I've gotten over it, after all it's not a dog or a child for Goodness sake, but the fact is Fearn's one of the family.  She's there in the morning sat patiently at the door waiting to go out & play.  She's up on the couch with us at night watching tripe on television & chewing our sofa.  She's there for me when Hubby is on nights & always game for a cuddle when I'm feeling homesick!  She's my Homie...& I'm currently crossing everything I have for her to make a speedy recovery.
My wonderful girlfriend from the UK sent me that adorable picture at the bottom of her rabbit Bobbin sending well wishes to Fearn.  Weird how they'll never meet but how much love can be sent across the miles!  I'm going to print it out & pop it on the wall next to her cage for when she comes home!
C'mon Fearny...you can do it!  I shall keep you posted!

(PS-We actually found out through this whole ordeal that Fearn is in fact a Boy bunny, not a girl as we've previously thought.  It seems some what of a traumatic time to start addressing Her as a Him but we will most definitely get around to it soon!  I can't believe we haven't noticed but apparently Bunny's are somewhat clever at pulling their bits up & disguising them.  Who knew?)

Taking Ikea Living to a Whole New Level

3 guys, 1 store, these photos are hilarious!  Can you imagine some of the looks they must have gotten from other shoppers!  Love it!  Check out more of their comical snaps here!

How flipping cute are these guys?  I spotted them at an adorable store over in Malvern, aptly named 'White Rabbit.'  I couldn't resist & I must admit they look darn fine on my bookcase!  Eeeee...!

Gotta Love a Wedding

Wow!  What a dress!  What a couple!  & as anticipated, Kate had barely left her hotel before Hubby here was fast asleep on the couch :)

May they live happily ever after!

What a Royal To Do

Before I settle down with my cup of tea & Rich Tea Digestive biscuit (how distinctly British of me), I thought I'd pay homage to some of the more obscure memorabilia I've seen dotted around.  How insane is that pizza?  I was supposed to be heading out to a super special 'Royal Wedding Party' this eve's but am laid up with a sprained ankle after a fall at netball last night :(  Instead I plan on making Hubby sit through the entire thing, what's the betting he shall be asleep in 5?

Can't wait to see the frock!

Autumn Sunshine...

Dream a Little Dream...

Okay, so how much do I wish I was walking through this magical book archway in Lyon, France right now?  I could select a few enthralling titles from the bookstore within, take a slow meander down to the park with a flask, or sit at a local cafe & sip hot coffee whilst people watching!  How fun is it to dream? ...Especially when sat at your desk waiting for inspiration to hit!

Here's to a wonderful (& productive) week everybody xx

Royal Wedding Fever

It appears everywhere you look at the minute there's something about the upcoming Royal Wedding.  A friend sent me this video last week & I thought it was a hilarious spin on the occasion, can you imagine if it really happened?  I adore Camilla & Phillip's bottom bump & William's intro is gold!  The resemblances are uncanny :)  Enjoy!

It's a chilly Friday night here in Melbourne town & Autumn is in full swing.  Time is flying by & I can barely believe it's mid April already, Eeeep!  This week has been a blur of assignment writing & the usual hectic term life but here are a few wonderful's I've stumbled across of late:

Fun game idea that I seriously dig!

Horse Bike...for those of you, like myself, who have always dreamed of owning that pony :)

Possibly the only time that Cranky Pants can be cute!

I think I neeeeeeeed this super cute USB Key USB Key Drive.

...and finally, this awesome guide on how to make a dreamy lamp shade made from doily's!

Here's wishing you a super spesh weekend Chickadee's!

Discovering Birdy

So on listening to UK radio today my ears pricked up at this beautiful cover of Bon Iver's 'Skinny love.'  After a spot of research I discovered the singer is a talented little lady who goes by the stage name of Birdy, & at just 14 years old I think you'll agree she's pretty dam amazing!  Enjoy :)

Happy Weekend x

Happy Weekend Wonderfuls!

Despite having a mammoth To Do list at present it's been somewhat of an unproductive week in the life of me. Procrastination has been the name of my game & I just know it's going to come back & bite me :(  As a result I have vowed to work my little socks off this weekend, to make up for my sheer pantsness this week!  I'm out with the girlies tonight for a post Practicum dinner & have a brunch date planned on Sunday but other than that it's just me, my desk & a monster pile of assignments, Ugh!

What do you guys have planned for the weekend?  I hope it's full of sparkle whatever it is you get up to :)
