.. where Ikea tries ski waxing

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

u must have thought the winter is over! not in this neck of woods! hehe… *neck* of woods…
so, there is lot of fun to have with the snow. even for a giraffe, like me. so i decided to learn ski waxing! i don’t have my own skis yet, i’m afraid. but it is good to know how to wax them properly when u finally have them, don’t u think? it seems perfectly logical to me. so, here come some fotografs that i managed to take in the process.

apparently first of all, it’s good to do some brushing with a metal brush. i can understand that. it seems to me that all animals (that i know) like brushing from time to time too. like for example, i very much like to brush my back when it is itching. also, i can tell Angel needs to do a lot more brushing, because his fur is all tangled up, u know. at least most of the time it is. because of hiding in the bamboo basket, that’s why.

so, first one ski..

.. and then the other one :)

so, then, u need this candy-bar looking wax. i think this is for going really fast. then u need to do some ironing and scraping too, but i don’t have any fotografs from that. i think i had to go somewhere and when i got back all that was already done. so, i hope i can try that some other time.

and then, if u want to ski classic style (i can secretly tell you that for most animals, classic is highly recommended, hehe) u need some grip wax too:

and that’s pretty much it! after all this waxing, skiing is supposed to be six times as fun as without! did u know that? let me know! so, cu l8r!

..where Ikea has a new homepage

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

i have to tell you that i have a new homepage now! i wonder, how many giraffes have their homepage at all? and how many of those then have a blog? and then make fotografs? i guess i have to find out someday. so, it’s www.ikeathegiraffe.com and you’ll see this blog has moved there. but it’s much nicer, because i have a really big background fotograf there – check it out! you may even need to borrow a larger screen to see that, actually :)

if you are already here, you can probably see some new links and old links too on the right. so, the second big news is that i have a new facebook fan page! now you can become a friend or a fan or both. btw, did you notice – facebook, friend and fan are all starting with “f”, just like “fun”?

also, i’m still working on both the homepage/blog and facebook pages. it’s not so easy at all, when you are a giraffe, like me. especially typing, hehe :) so, please comment what you think of it and share some ideas what you’d like to see here! since i have no fotografs this time, thanks for now and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea is enjoying snowstorm outside his window

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

Happy New Year! You know, these new years just sneak up on you, especially when you are a giraffe, like me. for example, i was watching TV and voila, there is this new year, suddenly. i like sneaking, as you may know :)

but also, there was this snowstorm in this little town that i live and they had most snow ever! so, that’s also most snow i have ever seen here in Kadriorg too! so, i was watching thru my window like this


while the very big snowstorm was on a break, i went to check out, how much snow there was –


– apparently A LOT! then, of course i wanted to make a little snowman real quick. here’s me modelling:


here’s me making snow angels (somehow this has something to do with snowmen..):


and here’s the little snowman itself! i guess it does not look anything like the model actually, especially the nose!


so that was it because then it started snowing again, plus i felt i had to get some christmas cookies right away :). but feel free to check out couple of other c u l8er!
