happy MoNsTeR MoNdAy...!

i could not resist posting this!
the fabulous kit lane ~ needle felting goddess extraordinaire
(creator of jacabunnies, jacabobs, burbles and the like)
has created the above piece for stitch wars...
and i very nearly died when i saw it.
if you know me at all...you very obviously know i love bunnyz!
if you know me a little better, you'd know of my love of plush...
and if you're pretty darn close and know some of my other likes...
you'd know about my deep love & adoration for all things star wars.

whilst it's not technically plush, it's close...
so the jabba in his younger years with his wee bunny...
well...i couldn't help but share it...
and once again sing the praises of kit!

i have no new pix of BuNnY MoNsTeRz...yet...
in the next couple of days , maybe...

and since i was talking about bunnyz...
made me think of this...
(click on the pic for more info and pix)
do yourself a favor and go check out the other pix.

i am both excited and a bit scared of it.
not scared of the movie...more it's outcome.
but right now, the excitement is still winning...


have a wonderful monday...

xox

coulda been you...

so... dff aka dolls for friends aka jill & erin
were having a twitter contest...
and of course i had to enter...
whilst i didn't win 1st prize...i totally won 2nd.
(see pic below)
though i think that could possibly be
because i inundated them with tweets...
what would any fan do?
well...follow them on twitter...
watch their flickr for new creations...
stop by their etsy shop and buy something fabulous...

(if you click on the pic...the links are on flickr)


and look at this little pink fuzzy custom BuNnY MoNsTeR...
she's headed out to befriend a youngster...yay!


have a nice friday...
and i'll be around again soon...lucky you.

blah blah blah

well...loads of stuff going on...
and most of it i'd rather not bore you by blogging about...
so...
i'll post again as soon as i can...
for now, i am off...

T-u-E-s-D-a-Y...

well, late (in the year) as it may be...
today is munki's last day of school and it's a 1/2 day...
so i have to get a lot of work crammed into a couple of hours.
i think i may have to skip tellafriend tuesday.
sorry.
i'll make it up to y'all...somehow.

i am working on a small lot of bit o' bunnyz
and a handful of minis...
so those will keep me busy over the next few days.
i'll try to still post at least a short blip or more
to keep you up to date.

in the meantime...
you can always check my twitter or a number of other places
to see small snippets of what's going on in my crazy little head.
i update twitter daily from my blackberry now...
so...if you like randomness...twitter it is.

and now i'm just rambling...
hafta work.

have a great day!!!

HaPpY (rainy) MoNsTeR MoNdAy!!!

phidget was out and about this weekend...

scoping out some mini coopers...


and some (not so mini) roadside attractions...
like the BFI...


nubs was at the beach...


and my more awesome than awesome hubby
added to my crazy demented bunny collection...

he's now friends with derf...also by gus fink...



hope y'all had a great father's day weekend...

“a sunday well-spent brings a week of content...”

hope you have a wonderful monday...

it's friday...

what?
there was no top 3 thursday?
well, no, there wasn't.
why?
well...yesterday was field trip day...
and if you don't follow me on twitter...
well, then you really have no idea what you're
missing (which is really nothing)
but yesterday might have been the exception to that rule.
woohoo 1st grade field trips!
we went to a woodland park that has 3 ponds...
a creek...tons of woods and animals...and of course...
mosquitoes...black flies and horseflies...
now, let me preface this by saying...i LOVE kids...
love 'em...
however, look at a couple of equations for me...
(pulled straight from my twitter...)

is on a schoolbus with 2 classrooms of 1st graders...
headed for a pond field trip
~
30ish 6 & 7 year olds + bus road noise= crazy loud
~
2 busses + 4 1st grade classes (67 kids) =
unimaginable noise and immeasurable amounts of crazy...

seriously...take the time to imagine it.
.........................................................................

now...
did the kids have fun?...of course!
did i have fun?...yes!
would i do it again?...without a doubt!

was i exhausted last night?...you betcha!



it wasn't the hiking, the walking, the bus ride...
it was pure emotional drain.
and in talking with a couple of the other parents...
(moms and dads) they felt the same.
i do feel the need to throw this out there...
i am SO very thankful that i have a daughter.
wow.
6 & 7 year old boys are a handful.
but then again...some of the girls were too.
maybe it really doesn't have as much to do with
boy vs. girl...
i should just say i am SO thankful that i have munki.
almost every one of those kids did something incredibly
charming and cute yesterday...
(at least the ones i was around)
and some of them also shared their polar opposite side.
kids are amazing little creatures.

~*~

take the time today to do something nice for yourself...
and someone else...

and read this list from zenhabits

~*~

p.s.

nubs has his own twitter page!...
follow nubs...
(you know you wanna)

happy hump day...

no new BuNnY MoNsTeRz pix or newz yet...
none to share anyway.
there is so much brewing i can hardly stand it.
in time...
because that's what it all comes down to.
it can't all be done overnight...
PrOjEcT HoLLyWoOd...BuNny MoNsT★Rz is still a go...
but it will be several more months before completion.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

TRUEBLOOD anyone?



can't get this song out of my head...
of course that might have something to do
with the fact that i just rewatched season 1
and then got matt addicted enough to watch it too!
so watched it again with him...
yay!
and season 2 started this past sunday...
ah, the little things make me smile...

t-u-e-s-d-a-y

yes, once again...it's tellafriend tuesday!

i always get excited about this...
mainly because i get to introduce you lovely readers
to artists/people/friends that i adore!

today i am featuring paula mcdonough
of the venerable bead

first of all...i must say that ALL of my interactions
with paula have been amazing! she really is another
kind and amazingly talented artist.
and her creations...wow!
if you want something that is one of a kind
and just beautiful...look no further.
i have purchased several things from paula...
for myself and as gifts for others.
i have purchased all key pendants...
but i like her implosion pendants as well...
and her key necklaces (with all sorts of goodies)
well, who am i kidding...i really like everything she makes.
she even makes keychains now!
and if you're a twilight fan...
check out her twilight themed jewelry, it's gorgeous too!
just take a stroll through her etsy shop.
she even has a link to some videos where you can see
how she creates the pieces she makes.

i personally own 3 key pendants by paula...
my favorite being this one...

it's my favorite because it's a mama key.
the difference in this one is that the bead slides all the way
up and down the key and it spins as well...
my other two just spin in the place they are set.
i love them too, don't get me wrong...but my fiddle fingers
are much more content with the mama key.
and every time i wear it out...someone comments on it.

go ahead...go get yourself a beautiful piece of wearable art!
you deserve it!

rainy monday...

but it worked out rather nicely...

and HaPpY MoNsTeR MoNdAy!!!
today i HAD to share another sally pic...
mainly because, being the temptress she is,
sally is making me consider buying "wreck this journal"
again...after months upon months of denying the urge.
i had all but forgotten about it...
and then she broke down and got one
and did some nubs art...



for the time being...
i shall resist again.

one cool side note...
(for those of you that don't follow me on one
of the many social networking sites)

matt scored MAJOR hubby points
(no, we don't actually keep points)
when he bought for me...
pride and prejudice and zombies
oh yes, yes he did...
and i can't wait to read it...
of course i'll have to finish the charlaine harris book
i'm on...and i'll need to finish my orders...and and and
well, i have it and that's what counts.
so for those of you wanting to buy me a lovely gift...
you can scratch that book title off your list.



have a happy rest of your monday...

yoshi it is...

yoshi
Originally uploaded by star*munki

it's so nice to call him something other than bunny and bunbun.
you can click on the pic to see why he's now yoshi.
i love that he is so completely different from fizbin...
it somehow makes it easier...

so, there you have it...
meet yoshi, the holland lop...

it won't always be a themed day...

today i just wanted to share this...


and if you haven't caught the latest from...
the hillywood show
here ya go...

i can't say it enough...
these girls and their friends/cast
are so incredibly talented!!!

and last but not least...one of my favorite cure covers...
i love the watson twins...!


have a happy thursday...
and though i said it wasn't going to be a theme day...
i guess thursday's top three kinda works for this...

do something nice for yourself today...
and be nice to someone you don't know...
sometimes just a smile can make someone's day...

it's TuEsDaY!

and as per usual...
(with a couple of exceptions)
TuEsDaY is tellafriend day...
and this week i pick.....................
jill & erin of dolls for friends
you can also find them on...
...etsy
...flickr
...and twitter
and you can find some other links via those links.

i, personally, have 4 pieces from dff.
and i adore them all.
and when you buy anything from jill and erin
not only are you purchasing an amazing piece of plush art,
you'll be dealing with an incredibly wonderful couple,
whose talents, i believe, are endless.
you should see everything they create...& it's not only plush!!!
do yourself a favor and check them out...
you won't regret it!

as for the dffs i own...




(l to r clockwise)
peanut, vera, noni, and kiki




go check out jill and erin's creations...

HaPpY MoNsTeR MoNdAy...

sad but true...the new bunny is still unnamed...
however, the leading name contenders are...
yoshi, banjo and mochi.
and for those of you that didn't catch it earlier...
part of the reason that said bunny is still unnamed
is not only because i have to have the perfect name...
it's also because i am only about 75% sure that he is a he at all...
(seeing as he'll be 9 weeks old tomorrow)
and until certain parts of boy bunnyz 'drop'
you can't be 100%...(or at least i can't be)
and i won't go into any further detail than that.
now onto other stuffz...

nubs &fam (UK) are still in san diego with miss sally...


grace (ME) is still getting into trouble all over the place...
and she loves to travel...


little inez (from GA to NY) is also forever into something...
and i am SO glad that TW
has started posting BuNnY MoNsTeRz pix again...thanks, todd!!!


and red (CA) is making new friends...aaaw...


thanks to everyone that allows me to share their pix.
and thanks (to those of you not on flickr)
for getting them to me...
i love BuNnY MoNsTeRz adventures!!!

quickie catch up...

okay...it's been 2 weeks...eek.

well...let's see...in no particular order...
because my brain can't do that right now...

*fizbin bunny passed away
*matt's nan passed away
*matt went to OH
*i had a minor surgery (while matt was gone)
*munki's allergies exploded (while matt was gone)
& just when we got the allergies under control, she got pink eye
*i've chaperoned 2 field trips with munki (& 15 other 1st graders)
& have another all day one coming up
*a co worker of matt's passed away
*we had to put olive on puppy prozac...seriously
*matt and i got new blackberry curves
*our home computer has been on the fritz
*we finally fixed our master bedroom (after almost 4 1/2 years)
*we have a new fuzzy bundle o' bunny to love...
(discovered very quickly that i can't be bunny free)



and now i am trying to get back on track.
the BuNnY MoNsTeRz are calling me...
(phidget usually screams though...)



pending any craziness...
the blog should be updated almost daily again...
thanks for all of the emails...
they were much appreciated...


p.s. so what'd you do with the past 2 weeks?

should be back on the blog train soon enough...
hang in there, you crazy kids!
& thank you immensely for all of the love & support!
y'all are the best!
xox


p.s. love the blackberry curve...
