Ikea of Kadriorg

..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!

.. where Ikea is baking christmas cookies, jei!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

now, finally i have made my selection of christmas cookies fotografs! watch out #moose and #giraffes! this is especially for you, but also all my other friends and fans! thank you for reading my blog! although i am such a little giraffe, people all around the world are following this blog. so nice! thanks and merry Christmas!

anyways, i have to tell you, making christmas cookies is sort of addictive. especially eating them. i think these cookies are now my favorite food #2 after acacia leaves. therefore i have made already two large batches of cookies. so here come the fotografs of it.

first of all, i started off with my friends moose:

i must say, cutting and baking is the easy part. but the nice coating – quite hard. especially when you are a giraffe, like me. here’s however the first one of many, again, moose:

after many hours, all the moose are ready!! jeii. happy x-mas my moose friends!

ok, now, this is the last fotograf, then i am really going to eat one of these.. really!

with the help of my friends at home, look at this big giraffe that we have made! this is like twice as big as me! i think, this is no doubt my favorite gingerbread of 2009:
