When it comes to Christmas, I'm usually the most over-organised and excitable person you could know. I love Christmas. No, really. Love it. The tree goes up on the 1st, all the presents are organised and sent a week before they need to be there, and the baking and rumball-making is in full swing.
Not so this year. I have just been so busy with other things (including the market and that pesky day-job gig) that I haven't had time to put the tree up, buy presents (let alone send them) and work out what we are having for Christmas lunch.
Which is how I find myself still up at 12.35 am on Sunday morning, waiting for a fruit cake to finish cooking so I can go to bed. Christmas cards are currently sitting, half written, on the dining room table.
I did find some time last night to make up these little dudes. They look so relaxed lying there on the step. Gosh, I wish I was lying down right now... Anyway, Mustard Bunny Dude was given to a wee boy for Christmas earlier tonight. Red Bunny Dude is headed for a Toy Society Christmas drop sometime tomorrow.
In the meantime, I have just two more social occasion to attend and two more fruit cakes to bake. The tree will go up whenever and then I intend to relax. And sleep. Lots. Can't wait.

Bunnies rock!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, those bunnies are extremely cute Michelle! I have found myself so busy with stuff this year that I haven't written any cards or my annual letter and I suspect that I'm not going to (the letter may get done as a New Year letter). Kick back a little and relax when you can!
ReplyDeleteoh ..toy society - MUST do that today too !
ReplyDeleteDude! your bunnies are adorable! I am totally disorganised this year too =s
ReplyDeleteI skipped the cards this year - it was all just far too hard! I am looking forward to my Toy Society drop later today - what fun.
ReplyDeleteI hear you - I am still making dolls to fill Christmas orders and haven't been toned before midnight in weeks. Our tree us up though.
ReplyDeleteYour wee bunnies are super sweet though.
I feel the same this year, time has just gotten away from me. But I have a new resolve to make next Christmas really wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteYour bunnies are in heaven. I so wish to lay flat and relax. Im finishing a shop order and baking my 2nd cake at this very moment. I think that it is so lovely that you are donating one of the bunnies to a child you dont know. That is the true spirit of christmas. Merry Christmas Michelle.
ReplyDeleteLove the bunnies - very cute!
ReplyDeleteWhile I have my tree up, I have not yet written any cards at all, and still have a bunch of Christmas shopping to do, as well as baking...and I don't even have work as an excuse. Oh dear.
yes - relaxing is a good idea. I haven't done a toy society thingy, yet. No christmas cake either - but we do have a dying branch of a suckering chinese elm looking crinkly in the corner covered in tinsel and the like. Have a lovely rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the bunny dudes - surprised a real one this morning on my run - yours are waaaay cuter and not nearly so pesky!
ReplyDeleteRelax into chrissie - remember it will happen - whether we are organised or not (my new mantra!)
Love them, and love their names!! - Serena
