Bunny Tales

So I read this article a while back about how 2013 was the year of "Shaming." Ya know, fat shaming, slut shaming, and of course Dog Shaming. I know its 2014 now but my mom sent me these Bunny Shaming photos and I just about died. So hilarious! And speaking of silly buns, my bunny broke into the food stash again so I've had to start storing the bag on top of his hutch. The little glutton. He is so cute though! I think I've only ever been mad at him for 5 seconds total. 

 Sammy has moved up in the world and has this spiffy new crib. We are both enjoying it. I for its cuteness and Sammy for its coziness.

 I purchased this adorable wooden bunny box at an antique mall. I eyed it for a while and my mom bought it for me, lucky no one else snagged it! Its truly perfect for storing all the rabbity supplies. The, too adorable for words "peace, love , and bunny" signs were made by my little sister and add the perfect finishing touch. I am so glad he finally has such a great set up. We have struggled over the years trying to find the perfect combination of function and aesthetic. Having an "exotic" pet can definitely pose its challenges at times. They make all of these cute dog and cat pet beds and houses but finding a bunny house sucked! Even after I found the right thing I had to customize it to fit my tastes and not be a total eye sore in the home. I am finally happy and so is Sammy. He loves hopping in and out and using the ramp. What  type of home/enclosure do you other bunny/ small animal parents out there use?

Like my new iPhone case? I got it from this etsy shop.

Well I have been CRAZY busy lately. Not only have I been trying to open my etsy shop and working at my day job as a nanny but I have also been in the midst of the biggest cleaning/purge junk project I've ever taken on. I have been going through every drawer, box, and closet getting rid of every unnecessary thing. I've always been kind of a pack rat/ borderline hoarder so my family doesn't really believe me when I say I am becoming a minimalist. I used to think that I liked lots of things around me in my environment and when I was younger that was okay, but now that I'm in my "late twenties" (haha) I find myself very drawn to bright photos of modern spaces with minimal amounts of stuff. Not to mention that I just don't have the time to clean and keep up with all that crap anymore. It will give me more time to focus on my work and staying inspired to make pretty things. My mind was feeling cluttered because my space was cluttered, I already feel lighter. Now if I can just get my etsy shop pulled together I will feel fantastic. I am not going to meet my personal deadline of opening April 1st due to some hold ups with the business-y side of things which frustrates me. However, I should be good to go the following week and that's not so bad. This "starting your own business" thing is really tricky because I have to wear so many hats and it feels overwhelming at times but on the other hand it is the most exciting, most fulfilling, scariest thing I've ever done and I couldn't be happier.
