i know it's been a long time...

2011-12-09T16:32:00.000-05:00

but look!...yum!

i am hoping that 2012 will find things a little easier to manage...
and that i'll be filling up the etsy shop...
and writing in the blog more often...
and keeping in touch better.

cross your fingers for me...

pictures from my awesome friend, jovi...

some BuNnY MoNsTeRz are fond of the snow...

some are not...

sometimes it's just hard to tell...

hope y'all are doing well...

there's not been much sewing going on here...
not in the way of BuNnY MoNsTeRz anyhow.

thanks for hanging in there though.

i know i sound like a broken record...
but i really do have the best friends.
this series of photos was taken by my dear (and VERY awesome) friend, todd.

i can't even put into words how elated i was to see these!!!
all of those BuNnY MoNsTeRz are his <3
he has supported me from the humble beginnings of the bunnyz & myself.

to todd...
you made me giggle and even tear up a bit.
thank you from the bottom of my BuNnY MoNsTeR makin' heart.
xox

and to the rest of you...
i guess it's now obvious that i'm back from vacation...=]
still trying to unpack & resettle, but getting there.

have a happy & safe halloween!

photo via my awesome friend, cj

his description on flickr reads as follows...

first-class meets white-trash.
Booger apparently went online and used my PayPal account
to order himself a wife from my good friend, Keri
meet Candy Sugarjugs...
the newest addition to my little Bunny Monsterz family.
she's a retired semi-pro stripper who wants to remind you
that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
her favorite saying is
"just because it's called a 'self-exam' doesn't mean you have to do it alone" =D

my apologies...

2011-10-11T14:40:00.002-04:00

every single one of the halloween BuNnY MoNsTeRz i made
(zombies, mummies, & frankenbunnyz)
never made it to etsy.
i didn't even get a chance to post about them...
thanks to the people that snagged 'em before they were even finished.

also...as of saturday the 15th...this girl and (the now 9 year old) munki
will be on their way to california for a nice little visit with my grandmother.
she's one of the most awesome ladies on the face of the planet.
that's why my daughter is named after her...
and no...my grandma's name is not munki...
we'll be driving out...so i'm sure multitudes of pictures
will be shared during our trip and after our return.

the etsy shop is already closed until i get back.

hope y'all have been enjoying your october...wherever you are.

still completely preoccupied with little miss mabelle kitten...
but i can always get a good giggle out of a picture of nubs...
i hope you can too.

hang in there kiddos...
eventually i'll be back on my sewing machine.

xox. keri & the getting impatient BuNnY MoNsTeRz

mabelle...aka why everything went wonky this last week...

2011-07-17T18:08:00.007-04:00

so...most of you know we rescued this adorable kitten...
her life has been rough and she's only 11 weeks old.
to start...she (and her 2 littermates) were tied in a bag
& tossed from a moving vehicle onto the side of the road.
a wonderful woman rescued the mostly feral kittens...
had them spayed and neutered & all their first shots given.
on thursday july 7th we saw this tiny blue eyed ginger kitten...
fell in love, named her mabelle and that's that part of the story.

well...on saturday the rescue woman called me and asked how mabelle was doing.
she then starts crying and informs me that one of the other kittens died after being adopted.
she was trying to get in touch with the other owner to check on kitten #3.
kitten #2 died from panleukopenia

so, me being the protective animal mom decides to take her to the vet & get her tested.
(panleukopenia is incredibly hard to test for)
she tests negative and i take her home with new wet food and directions to keep an eye on her.
same day, i get another phone call from the rescue lady & kitten number #3 died too.
that kitten was fine and playing and eating and started throwing up and in 6 hours was dead.
this disease can hit and in less than 24 hours, kill a kitten.

the next day mabelle starts throwing up...
it's a sunday...crap.
off to the emergency vet...
mabelle is tested again and the doctor is thinking for sure she'll test positive (as am i)
but she tests negative again...
so she gets fluids shot into her...
gets an anti vomiting shot and an antibiotic shot...poor tiny little mabelle.
i take home tons of meds...one pill a day...2 doses of antibiotics a day and special food.

monday, mabelle just seems tired, no wonder after all she's been through...

tuesday, she's playing and running around with angus, eating normally...everything seems fine.
neither matt nor i want to jinx it...
so we just hope for the best and are appreciative of every good
day she has.

wednesday, same thing...eating & acting like a normal kitten...

thursday, again, same thing perfect kitten behavior.
at this point...we're starting to think we just might be ok.
thursday evening though...she doesn't seem interested in her food.

friday morning 4:30 am...gnarly kitten puking starts.
bless her little heart, she actually goes into the litterbox to throw up.
comes out and climbs back in bed and crashes.
30 minutes later...same thing.
15 minutes later...again...etc etc etc
i know the vet opens at 8 am i am just trying to hold out until then.
and thankfully, they got us in first thing...
the dr. decided not to even bother doing the panleuk test again...
he goes straight for the bloodwork.

a couple of hours later...it's confirmed...mabelle has panleukopenia.

so...friday at about noon they hooked her up to an iv drip and treatment began.
basically a kitten has to be strong enough to fight this off...and chances usually aren't too good.
but as of this morning's phone call from the doctor...she is hanging in there, is bright and alert
she's just not eating yet.
now we wait for tomorrow morning and hope that she has decided to eat.

right now, things look pretty good, but even the doctor said, it can turn in a snap.

so please, if you've taken the time to read all of my babble...

please please please keep little mabelle in your good thoughts and prayers.
she'll be quite the miracle kitten if she makes it through this.

i'm just gonna put this here...

craziness in the household...
we've added a couple of new animals to our menagerie (kittens)
and there is a lot of madness that's gone along with it.
some good some bad and some wonderful.
i am going to try to be better about the blog. i miss it
and i miss you lovely people who care enough to read my nonsense.

p.s. for those of you asking...
i think july or august will be the earliest that the shop opens again.
but, as always, if you have something you NEED...shoot me an email
and i can most likely accommodate you...

ooh ooh ooh guess what else?
there are bunnies living in our back yard!
we've seen a few adults and several babies!!!

i LOVE seeing BuNnY MoNsTeRz pictured next to other monsters!
and this one is great!!!
the bunny on the left is one of the amazing nerderella bunnies...
(i have one of her bunnies that i LOVE!)
in the middle is colonel corn by anna chambers...
and the little plaid guy is one of my bit o' bunnyz...
(well, he's not mine anymore =])

hope y'all have a lovely week.

p.s. i broke out the sewing machine to sew curtains this weekend...
so, BuNnY MoNsTeRz are definitely in the near future!

i've not really made anything new as far as BuNnY MoNsTeRz go...
but i did a plushie swap and since my swap partner has received
her package, i can now post this one by itself.
happily, her package was well received, which elates me!
i'm excited to receive my package this week!!!

hope y'all have a fabulous memorial day and whilst you're having fun...
please take a moment to remember why it is you're able to celebrate/have the day off/bbq etc.

still settling in and doing some home improvement stuff...
like painting and planting and totally still not sewing.
my hands are achy for some needles and thread...
thankfully they've been creative in their own way...
just not in the BuNnY MoNsTeRz sorta way.

i immensely appreciate the emails and messages that y'all have been sending.
i read every one of them and am trying to finish up my replies.

there are SO many new BuNnY MoNsTeRz running around in this head of mine...
& i think i am just about at the point of letting them out ☺

have a lovely monday & a splendid week!

things are getting settled, but i have not even started sewing yet.
i miss my sewing machine so very much...
as soon as the studio/office space is all set up, i will be back at it.

in the meantime, i have been busying my hands with some gardening
and adding some new plants to our new yard...
& i was missing my bleeding hearts from maine...

have a great monday wherever you are.

happy birthday to my (non plush) bunny, yoshi.

usually wednesday is wordless, but...

this is last little blog post before the internet is gone
and we pack the moving truck to move to lima. (ohio)

so...most everything is boxed...
i miss my toys and my sewing machine the most.
things are in complete disarray, the living room and kitchen
are both stacked with boxes and containers of all sorts.
kisu & ichabod (the cats) are climbing every mountain of boxes that they can...
olive & lucy (the pugs) are just acting confused, which very obviously tires them
out since they are sleeping more than usual. (usual = almost as much as the cats)
and yoshi (the bunny) seems indifferent about the whole thing.
so there you have it...
whatever it may be.

i am just excited to get into the new place and put our stuff in it.
thanks so much to all of you for your love & support and for hanging in there
while we make this move. you're the best!

and since i don't really have any new pictures to share...
here...enjoy this pic of phidget & peanut...

have a lovely week & weekend & we'll see you again soon...from lima.

the 2 on the left are headed to florida for the ConnieCaps fundraiser.
(providing chemo caps to cancer patients)
if you would like to donate something toward the cause,
let me know and i can put you in touch with the right lady...
and an awesome lady she is.

in other news...
our house is filling with boxes and i already miss my stuff that's packed.
i can't wait to get into the new house. unpacking is always much more fun.

we pick up the moving truck on friday and we'll be officially up in lima
as of saturday. i'm unsure of how quickly we'll get our internet back up...
but once we do, you can bet i'll post something here.

be well, lovebunnyz.

we're moving (yes, again) still ohio, just a bit more north-ish
to the...

yes, we're moving to lima (ly-muh not lee-muh)
and it's a good thing & we'll be in a cute house...which is even better.
so, posting, creating, tweeting, blogging, emailing, etc etc etc
may all be a bit spotty for a little while.
please hang in there as we make another transition and hopefully
get going full steam again once we settle in.

you people are amazing and i always receive the most amazing love & support
from you all...thank you so very much.

i'll definitely still be around...just packing and cleaning and such.

there is mucho awesomeness in those photos...
mushrooms, moustaches, bunnyz, & the fact that sally's dan took said photos.
yes, oh yes...awesomeness abounds!

in other (repetitive) news...
the neck of the BuNnY MoNsTeRz maker (aka me, myself & moi)
is still throwing tantrums and keeping the sewing machine away.
i don't like this...it's terribly difficult & makes me feel somehow incomplete.
hand sewing everything is NOT an option...
especially with the orders i have backed up.
just know, that if i have committed to making, sending, donating or otherwise ensuring
that you'll soon have a BuNnY MoNsTeR in your possession...
you WILL have it.
beyond that...for now the etsy shop will remain bare.

here's the story...

of a lovely ~~lady~~ BuNnY
who was bringing up three very lovely ~~girls~~ MoNsTeRz
all of them had hair of ~~gold~~ recycled fabric, like their mother.
the youngest one in ~~curls~~ swirlz.

Here's the story of a ~~man~~ hare named ~~Brady~~ Matty
Who was living with three ~~boys~~ MoNsTeRz of his own.
They were four ~~men~~ BuNnY MoNsTeRz living all together
yet they were all alone

Till the one day when this lady met this fellow ( thanks to this lady )
And they knew that it was much more than a hunch,
That this group must somehow form a family,
That's the way we all became the ~~Brady~~ BuNnY MoNsTeR Bunch.

what better way to celebrate monster monday
than with sally monster & her BuNnY MoNsTeR nubs?
yeah, there's nothing better.
miss sally made this for me as a get well card of sorts...
& don't those colors and that lovely face just bring a smile to your face?!
well, they did to mine and i guess that's all that really matters.

for those that have asked what's been going on and i have avoided answering...
it's my neck.
remember last year, the day before my birthday...that lovely surgery
i had on my neck? ruptured discs & then anterior cervical laminectomy,
which basically = c5, 6 & 7 being stuck together with a bone graft & a titanium plate & screws.
well, my neck is just sort of giving me fits and it has limited my sewing immensely.
don't get me wrong...what i have now is still 10x better than before surgery...
it's just acting up like a kid not getting it's way...
only thing is, i don't know what this kid wants and it's frustrating.
anyway...that's about as much of an update as i can give.
and now you all know about as much as i do.

sally took that lovely picture for me,
(which i have every intention of printing and framing) \o/
and mr. munki bought me a mini lalaloopsy & a new cactus!

so cute!
i love my mini pillow featherbed lala (she'll have a new name soon)
& the new cactus is bruce ( i like to think of him as a ninja cacti)

so...there you have it...
you are now mostly updated on the fascinating goings on in starmunki land.
have a lovely monday & do something wonderful!

origami always makes them happy.

this rabbit cube was calling my name, (thanks, origami club)

so, i busted out my stash of origami paper and started folding.
i know...gee, what a surprise that i made something with bunnies on it.
i'd blame it on the fact that it's the year of the rabbit,
if y'all didn't know me better.
what you can't see is that the other three sides are red, yellow and blue.
wait, let me fix that...

awesome, i know...not only is it an origami bunny cube...
it's a rainbow origami bunny cube!

(i know most of you that usually comment would rather have plush)
your chances are pretty good...
and the winner is................

wahoo...that means it's comment 2 and that's tim!
hope you wanted a BuNnY MoNsTeRz painting, tim...<3
because i'll be sending it out this week!

let me preface the giveaway with this...

please take a minute to head over to facebook and like/fan/show some love

to the new BuNnY MoNsTeRz page

i won't get into it, but suffice it to say...it was facebook, not me.

i am hoping to get back my 300+ fans...but we'll see.

on to the giveaway...

yesterday, i posted this to twitter...

so, while i had a few guesses, none were correct...

this will be the end of january giveaway...

and as you can see from the pictures, it's not a painting you have to hang on your wall...

it looks just fine hanging out on a shelf as well.

speaking of monsterz...

the note inside said...
"from a not so secret admirer, and her little buddy, nubs."

and/or just joining us...

i've not been too good about blogging or updating or anything yet this year...
but, the mr. & i have been celebrating our annibirthday ♥
♥ his birthday was january 5th...
♥ our anniversary was january 9th...
♥ & my birthday was january 12th...
so, hopefully this next week will find me back on track.

❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀

today, i took some pictures of a gift from a friend of mine
and i wanted all of you fabulous readers to see it and know about her.

first...
look at this gorgeous piece of jewelry.
94 inches of swarovski crystals & fresh water pearls in shades of my 3 favorite colors...
purple, orange and green...

second...
head over here ---> north atlantic art studio
and get yourself some of the fabulousness that kimberly creates!

her jewelry is made incredibly well.
she makes each piece like she herself would wear it...
which means it's as close to perfect as possible.
she packages each item ready to give as a gift and if you're keeping it for yourself...
it's a bonus for you, because it's already beautifully presented.

you don't need a holiday to buy something beautiful for someone you love...

(or to splurge on yourself)

so just go indulge...

go give kimberly's etsy shop a visit...
you'll be oh so very glad you did.

have a stellar weekend.

2011-01-10T08:07:00.001-05:00

this is an old shot of normann...the 1st BuNnY MoNsTeR i ever kept for myself.

the mr. & i are still in the midst of our annibirthday week...
his bday being 1/5...our wedding anniversary being 1/9...& my bday being 1/12.
so...sewing has slowed to almost nothing at all.
but the celebrating that has been going on has been SO much fun!

i hope to get back on track and add some new items to the etsy shop
in the next couple of weeks. but first, i need to (re)organize my studio space
after the holidays...what a mess!

this blog is going to see some new updates and more things going on this year...
i just get caught up in the annibirthday thing and it pushes stuff off a little bit
after the holidays and the new year and stuff.

2011...just remember it's the year of the rabbit...
which very obviously, couldn't be a better year for me...

have a wonderful monday & hope you have a lovely week!

happy friday!

2011-01-07T09:12:00.001-05:00

still trying to get back on track after the holidays...
trying to get the january BuNnY MoNsTERz giveaway sorted...
for now, just have a nice look at a lovely pic...

the above pic is by none other than...sally !
but i recall someone else telling me they made a snowBuNnY MoNsTeR...
who was it and did you take pictures? =]

seeing as 2011 is the year of the rabbit...
we have lots of (new) things that will be going on here this year...

have a stellar friday and a superb weekend!!!

happy monster monday 2011!

2011-01-03T08:04:00.000-05:00

happy new year!!!
happy january!!!

i have only just realized in the past few days...
that i never did my double december giveaway.
things got crazy & busy & blahblahblah & it honestly
completely slipped my overloaded, crazy brain.

so...all i can say is this...
at some point this month...there will be a giveaway...
and i hope to continue to do that each month in 2011.

there are several new styles of BuNnY MoNsTeRz that will
be introduced this year.
i am finally going to start making some repeats of certain styles.
for instance, there is going to be a moustache series...
(which made me REALLY want to post the above pic from miss sally)
the others will have to be a surprise later.
it seems lately i have had several special order requests via email
that never make it to etsy and are never seen by anyone other
than the recipient...
i LOVE doing one of a kind bunnyz and will continue to do so...
but, now there will be series BuNnY MoNsTeRz to look forward to.

hope you are all having a wonderful start to your new year...

xox. keri & the BuNnY MoNsTeRz

out with the old...

2010-12-31T08:35:00.000-05:00

2011 is gonna be awesome!

hope you had a wonderful 2010...
& i hope your 2011 is amazing...stellar...splendid & all that good stuff!

yes, it's usually wordless wednesday...

2010-12-22T09:23:00.002-05:00

...but i stumbled across this and it entertained me.

happy monster monday!

2010-12-20T11:50:00.001-05:00

this week will find me not on the computer as much as in the kitchen...
and phidget told me i should send some holiday wishes now,
just in case i get too occupied with other things.

so...

happy holidays...merry christmas...happy hanukkah...happy kwanzaa...
& happy new year as well...
that has me covered through january 1st...
but i doubt i'll stay away that long...

enjoy whatever festivities you indulge in this time of year...
and be kind, generous and giving even when you think you can't.
a warm & friendly smile this time of year goes a long way.

i have awesome friends.
one of my very favorite people on the planet
decided to take her BuNnY MoNsTeRz to work with her the other day...

thanks again, jovi...i LOVE the pictures!!!

and to those of you that are not jovi...be thankful for her & people like her...
the next time you need an ambulance...she just might be one of the people saving your life.

have a fabulous monday!!!
here, we're enjoying our snow immensely!!!

music and a vintage picture...

2010-12-10T09:46:00.002-05:00

well, it's been a strange week here for me...
so, why not post a random video and a picture i took...
just for the heck of it?

this picture is the cover of an old comic christmas card set box that
was passed down to me with some decks of cards that belonged to my grandmother.
i don't know anything more than that, but i love it & find it hilarious.
with the 3d glasses and really...who could look past that reindeer(?) and it's mouth?

hope you are having a wonderful day wherever you are...

wendy has some awesome dolls and plush!
thankfully for me, her collection includes several BuNnY MoNsTeRz.
her first BuNnY MoNsTeR adoption was "spooky" and shortly
after she adopted him...spooky had a blog...
The Year of Living Spooky-ly
thanks for the awesome picture, wendy!

just dug out this picture because i just made a gift for someone and used up a tiny bit more
of the small remaining remnant of this fur...& these guys always cracked me up.

this week will need to be another week of not much computer time,
so forgive me, those of you that are waiting on something computer-y from me.
SO many things to get done...
not enough arms...not enough hours in my day...too many pies to bake etc...=]

have a lovely monday...the beginning of a brand new week...
do something fantastic!

xox.

much love for hilly & hannah...

2010-11-19T16:12:00.002-05:00

they are simply two of the kindest, sweetest, most brilliant, and lovable girls
(and hannah is an absolute doll on the phone...)
so...today you get their latest parody (should have posted it last week...)
and yes, there are still hillywood BuNnY MoNsTeRz in the works...
all sorts of new things coming.
so...on with the hillywood show...

word of the day...

2010-11-18T11:11:00.001-05:00

busy...

i am forever involved in way too many projects at once.
this week, i have finished several things and am working on...

2 crocheted stockings
a pile of winter/holiday BuNnY MoNsTeRz (15 to be exact)
3rd pair of crocheted fingerless mitts
24 BuNnY MoNsTeRz ornaments (which i am about 1/3 of the way done with)
blocks for a tie quilt
a knit cable scarf (which i am about ready to frog)
3 different embroidery projects
a crocheted sock monkey baby blanket & matching hat

and these don't even include the list of christmas gifts i need to start.

but i can't say i'm bored.

not ever.

speaking of all of these things...

someone asked me awhile back about doing some time lapse vids

of the BuNnY MoNsTeRz in the making... or some tutorials.

well, i have decided that at some point...

i am definitely going to do this.

if i can only remember to take pix of things along the way, all will be well.

and now...off to do one or more of these projects in hopes of gaining some

ground on my completed list so i can add more to the to do list...

this pic is of the stocking i completed last year ...

the other 2 that i'm working on will complete stockings for our little family of 3.

of course munki thinks i should make one each for olive, lucy, ichabod, kisu and yoshi.

so, it's obviously time to teach munki how to crochet more than a chain...=]

have a lovely day!!!

happy monster monday...

2010-11-15T10:31:00.000-05:00

had to bring back nubs for today...
this is still one of my favorite nubs pix to date.

last week was one full of ouch and not much work accomplished,
but i'm trying to get back into everything this week.

and i need to finish the bunny for the november giveaway!

have a wonderful monday!

happy halloween...

2010-10-31T08:55:00.004-04:00

hope you have/had an amazing halloween!

take a look at these fabulous vintage cards and picture...
i could have posted SO many more...
but loved the words and art on the 3 that i narrowed it down to.
the facts are from an interesting site that i fancy...
go check them out if you like...

Halloween Experts

* More than 1/3 of all Americans believe in ghosts, according to an AP poll conducted in 2007.

* About 27% of Americans believe that they have seen a ghost or felt the presence of one.

* One in five people believe that witchcraft and spells are real.

* According to Hallmark, about 35 million Halloween cards are sold each year. Most of these are sent from grandparent to grandchild.

* The earliest Halloween cards in the U.S. are from around 1908.

* According to U.S. census information, there are approximately 36 million potential trick or treaters between the ages of 5 and 13.

* The world’s record for the largest pumpkin was set in 2009 by Christy Harp from Ohio, with a pumpkin that weighed 1,725 pounds (roughly the same weight as a 1967 VW Beetle).

* The average American consumes 24.5 pounds of candy per year, much of it during the Halloween season.

* The fear that trick or treaters will receive candy tainted with poison, needles or razor blades is based on an urban legend, and not on fact. Researchers have been unable to verify a single case of contaminated candy that killed or made a trick or treater seriously ill.

* The fear that black cats are in danger of being sacrificed by a satanic cult on Halloween is also unfounded. Satanic cults are more frequent in fiction than in fact, and the few documented cases of abuse can be attributed to disturbed individuals, usually loners.

be safe & have a wonderfully frightful night...
