.. where Ikea is stuck again!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

unfortunately i can’t update the blog right now with new fun things that i have been doing because i am stuck! it’s a bit of a sticky situation i’m afraid.. so, in fact i don’t know how long i may need to stay here. the good news is that i can play Angry Birds and watch the ‘lympics from here, hehe. So, i will try to get out of here soon. And if u see my friend Sipsik then please let her know that i’m here and i’m OK, but perhaps she can help me out..! until then, have fun and cu l8r!

.. where snow finally arrives and Ikea goes sledging

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what! it’s a new year, 2012!! i’m sure this year will be even more fun than the previous ones. because, u know, finally the snow is here, in Kadriorg!! and this happened quite mysteriously, i might add, because it was suddenly all white just on Saturday morning – just like that! and i KNOW, this time the snow machines did not work..

so, once the snow was here, i was eager to test the new sledge that had mysteriously arrived in our home just around Christmas time. and i know it was not for me*, because we, giraffes don’t do sledging very much. well, until now that is!! because, apparently, sledging is lots of fun!!
so, here’s me checking out the seat belts and other things..

..before heading out in the WILD WILD SNOW, jei..!!!

apparently, there was more snow that had not arrived during the night. Instead, it was snowing on me while sledging, hehe. i could almost not see anything AT ALL!

luckily, i had help driving this new sledge, so it was OK. we did make a big round in Kadriorg, but i don’t have more fotografs, because we were little bit afraid of this wild snow getting into the camera – because it very much tried, i can tell u! so, needless to say, sledging is lots of fun, probably will be ranked quite high on my 100 most fun ideas to do (for a giraffe) list, once i have time to put it together. but it COULD take some time, because i am very busy, especially now that all this gr8 snow is here, jei! in fact, i have to go to a secret place right now. so, until then, let me know if you have already had snow and if u have been sledging or doing any other fun things with it! Have fun and cu l8r!

* disclaimer – this sledge is actually my friend’s, Pipi’s. But she is not using it ALL the time, so me Pipi and Sipsik made a deal that (reads): “Other people (or animals – very important!) can also use the sledge – for sledging purposes only – when Pipi, or Sipsik (or their friends) are not using it at the moment.” so, it means that even my friend Angel could use it. But he’s not much into exercising, so we’ll see..

.. where Ikea meets a ginger-giraffe and a strange animal

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what! i didn’t actually meet them. well, i did meet them afterwards, when they were out of oven, had their sugar-coating and i was taking fotografs. but i actually also made them myself, jei!
apparently i have to tell u that unlike last time – and – not to mention the last time before last time, i was not allowed to make so many xmas cookies this time. because, u know, i only mostly made giraffes. And, then Teddies eat all of them giraffes!! So this time Sipsik said – less giraffes – because we don’t need that kind of massacre here. Not before Christmas, anyway. But maybe she said so just because she could not find the giraffe-shape cookie cutter? well, apparently this remains a mystery as of now. So, instead, i made this one giraffe with a really really long neck, hehe! Check it out:

well, in fact i wanted to make a giraffe with even longer neck but apparently it does not fit in the oven!! (Although Teddies suggested some good ideas that we still need to research before we talk to Sipsik about it..). So instead, we made this strange fun animal with a gr8 fun name: animal-with-no-name. But it looks a bit like a dog to me, i’m afraid. The good fun thing about it is, that it’s mu first ever gingerbread cookie in 3D, jei!
me and my friend Lotte are currently working on an idea of a 3D giraffe ginger cookie, but as of right now, we have run into that oven problem once again. Really really annoying, if u ask me. Still, we will be working on it again tonight. Until then, let me know if you have made any 3D xmas cookies (or giraffes)? have fun and cu l8r!
