lk - I got the warm fuzzies version from Betz's etsy shop, and it's signed too!!!! It's a really nice book, lots of different projects and very clear instructions.

Meri - I'm the same with the films, cringey bits make me go all weird, but I'm also quite squeamish. I'm going to see what's on for tomorrow - you've got me desperate to see a film now!

I have to make 2 bunnies this week - one for the lucylocket swap, and one for an etsy order - a boy bunny, which is stumping me a bit. Can't decide what to do.

a teeny tiny willy? oh GO ON I dare you

(sorry to lower tone ladies...will go back to boring work meeting now )

Gingermonkey · 04/03/2008 12:17

I actually nearly weed then (just a little bit). I'm tempted by that JG, I really am!!!

oh yes please make a bunny with a willy - maybe just for us to laugh filthily{sp?} at

Gingermonkey · 04/03/2008 14:16

Do rabbit willies tuck away like cat willies? (dykwim? - my cat's willy is only ever seen when he is having a little wash of it - DIRTY CAT, the rest of the time it's hiding)
Imagine the poor woman's horror when she got my cute little bunny parcel - give it a squeeze and look what pops out

jeangenie · 04/03/2008 15:24

could sell them as educational toys perhaps

Gingermonkey · 04/03/2008 16:41

BEADY FOLK Does anyone know where I can get 10mm bi-cone swarovski crystals with a hole at the top rather than the middle?

OP posts:
Gingermonkey · 04/03/2008 17:17

GM - I think you should make a couple of POM POM testiclay's for the boy rabbit.

How hilarious would that be ? I reckon I might try that next on my bunnies. Something for the ladies to fiddle with ???

Sorry, smut over ......

Anyway, back to the weekly challenge ..

I've just finished two 'New Baby' gift bunnies'

Freckles are proving quite popular ...

LK - I wish I had a jumper that made my Norks huge but my tummy tiny

Gingermonkey · 04/03/2008 18:56

TB - cute bunnies!!! I love the freckles idea too.

And the only way any jumper is ever going to make my norks look huge is if the previous owner left hers in it

Just a quick post.

GM, Ebay is your best bet because you can search for individual shapes under Swarowski Crystal.

Whizzz may know somewhere better though as I think she has used Swarowski.

Dh has unexpectedly got the day at home tomorrow so I will be doing some crafting

meridian · 04/03/2008 19:09

you smutty lot you!

tilly-- adorable!.. love the freckles... will post on your blog later or tommorow if i get the chance...

Gingermonkey · 04/03/2008 19:17

thanks Nbg. I've had a look but I can't see about where the holes are Blooming bead But they do have some that are what I need (well, my friend needs actually - I'm not about to start beading, it's all too complicated for me!!! )

i didn't get accepted onto the design team i applied for

Gingermonkey · 04/03/2008 21:40

Dior - I did actually ruin make a bracelet at my friend's house this eve...and I rather liked it. But I don't speak to the rest of the house enough as it is, so I can't start beading too - poor DS is feral enough

Ranting - it's not me - it's JG, she's disgusting!!!

jeangenie · 04/03/2008 22:16

nothing to do with me gov' TB is the one talking about pom pom testicles

anyway, stop distracting me...I am making Whizz's Easter swap present and I MUST NOT BE DISTURBED

jeangenie · 04/03/2008 23:09

anyone know if whizz has a sense of humour??? she may be needing it...my, ahem, creation appears to have taken on a life of its own...DH's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he asked "did you follow a pattern for that?" I like it...but then I am quite probably insane

I do love these swap/challenge thingies...(just pity my partners slightly...evil cackle)

I think I better go to bed before I lose my mind entirely, bad enough being here chattering away to myself like this...

Dior - when you're doing a new entry there are 2 tabs at the top right of the box

If you are in "compose" click on the "insert link" icon and add the web address in the box.

If you then go to "edit html" you'll see the weblink surrounded by some letters & symbols like this:

If you click infront of the at the end and write what you want the link to say - e.g. my blog

then when you publish the post you shouldn't see the link address

I hope this a) helps, b) works and c) you understand as it's taken me weeks of tearing my hair out to try to make my links work!!

If I've told you incorrectly above I can only apologise () but I'm sure any mistakes will be corrected by the more experienced bloggers on here
