bunnies don't come from eggs...

but there is one in every peanut.

happy early Easter :)

baby slippers?

I love these :D maybe next time I'm at the thrift store I'll see what I can find in the area of a size 10 for my odd husband who would SO wear these ;)

heck, I'd even wear 'em!

Roxie HATES flying sharks

she was throwing a fit in the backyard yesterday and when I looked out I thought it was weird that she wasn't running back and forth along the fence like she usually does when the people walk along the other side. she was in the middle of the yard looking off somewhere else.

then I spotted the kite.

it took flight a little closer today while I was cleaning mud off her paws - it was all I could do to hold her back.

I am super sensitive when it comes to spinning. I used to be able to handle all the spinning rides at Six Flags and they were actually my favorites.

my dad would get sick easy on them and I always thought that was odd, then one day I couldn't handle them anymore :( I rode some roller coaster with a few spiral loops in it and nearly lost it. I tend to black out on them now and then I hafta sit and wait for the nausea to pass afterwards... only to do it again O:) so yeah, I figured this onset of dizziness was just something I got from my dad - which it might be - but apparently is something that can be "cured". so, after reading this article on Yahoo! about how ice skaters don't get dizzy, I've decided to try and "get used to it".

straw shrimp

make cute shrimp from a drinking straw! who comes up with this stuff?!

hmmm...

got some more snow - rebuilt the snowman and then made a toilet.

I didn't think I could sit on it safely, so I decided throwing up was good enough.

I like the face Matt's snowman is making behind me :)

"oh no! are those my eyes and mouth in there??"

yay snow :)

Matt made me a lil snowman to greet me on my way into work this morning :)

my boss didn't come into work while I was there, so I ran out of things to do and left O:)

I can work any day - how often do we get perfectly sticky awesome snow without it being super cold and windy out??

the answer is never ;)

I eat your nose!

the doggies didn't like the snow, but Roxi is obedient and came to me when I called anyway :P

I've never been able to roll up a snowman before - I got carried away and rolled up most of the yard... then it was too heavy to move!! I had to roll the 2nd part up a couple of hoes layin' around the yard to get it up there. I almost didn't get the head on top! he's already fallen over :( oh well. that's what a slanted yard gets ya.

BLORK!

a HILARIOUS play! if you're in Chicago in April, GO SEE IT!
keep checkin' in on Bootstraps for more details.

a savage of an idea

I just added some new stuff to my shop :)

BristleBot

how cool is this?!

you were just too slow, kitty!

this is my roadkill kitty bookmark... for all the books I never read.
no, I haven't read this one either :\ I got a great deal on it at a 2nd hand shop, though, and I like to get it out and smell it - smells like old book. yeah, I know.

jackalopes

I've been looking at bunny drawings online that talented people are able to do and doodling my own crappy versions of them in jackalope form.

I finally came up with a stencil I liked, but even ended up making him more simple than this in the end.

I used shelf liner paper and drew on it with a fat sharpie, then cut all the black lines out and stenciled it on some felt - I think it came out well :) I'm starting to lose some of the sticky on the stencil, but it seems to still work well even if it's not completely stuck down to the fabric.

this is the first stencil I've done completely by hand - if I do any drawing by hand, I usually sketch something pretty crummy and then tweak the crap out of it in paint and photo programs until it looks decent - only thing I did on the computer for this was steal ideas from other peoples bunnies O:)
