.. 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!

.. where Ikea gets Shaun (Timmy) the Sheep Christmas Sock (shoe)

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what! a gr8 fun thing happened! in fact, when i was shopping with my friend Sipsik, we found THESE!!

as u can see, we bought them. this is for several reasons:
1) they are most fun to walk with, even my friend Leenu says they are nice and fun
2) they are quite warm, especially when walking on the stone floor or outside, like for example balcony
3) they have the shape of my friend Shaun the Sheep. As we found out, they actually have the shape of Shaun’s friend Timmy, but he is even more fun in fact, jei!
4) other things

like for example, at first, we bought them to my friend Undu to go sheeping. they go very well with his sheep costume. but then again, no-one, even the sheep would believe that he is sheep with his sheep-shoes on, so maybe it doesn’t work really well? so instead, i thought of something else i could use them. Although, as u can see, Undu is very much into these sheep-shoes too:

so, this other thing that these shoes are really really good is for Christmas! in fact, these shoes can very well replace the Christmas sock that i have, which has served me quite well. But the bad news is that i don’t have any place to hang this Christmas sock from. So, instead, i could really use this Christmas Shoe (Sheep) instead:

as u can see, i have put the Christmas sock inside it. apparently, this was for testing purposes only and actually u don’t need that. The shoe is quite enough!! Like for example, Santa’s little helpers bought me my favorite oatmeal cookies inside the Sheep-shoe and no sock was present. So it seems to work alright!! gr8 news in fact!
so, as a matter of fact, i need to go and set it up for tomorrow. Until then, let me know if u have set up your Christmas Sock (Shoe) and if so, what have you already got from Santa? let me know in comments!! Have fun and cu l8r!!

.. where Ikea explores a Christmas Calendar!

hello there! It’s me Ikea here!

just wanted to quickly post one fotograf here, as i am really really busy right now with this thing called Christmas, u know!! apparently, it is much longer than i thought and involves also other things than christmas cookies (my favorites). for example, christmas calendars, like this one here. it is actually quite fun, because u never know what u can find behind the doors, hehe.. so far i have found chocolates with different shapes, but we’ll see. in fact, i have to go and see what is behind number 6 right now..!
but let me know if u follow any christmas calendars and what u have found so far? have fun and cu l8r!
