Cheeky Moopy

UPDATE at the bottom .... new fun photo's

This cheeky bunny likes to poke out her tongue and count to 1, 2... 3, 5, 8...9 10!!

Much like the real life Moopy... she has been giving her mummy something to giggle about. We having been getting a bit of lip lately.... I am dumb founded as to what to say when a polite request is assertively refused with a "NO!".. holding back the laughter, I will fumble out a "Mummy will count to three and then she will ...(insert threat here)... Ooonnne.." then little miss chimes in with a cheeky "ONE TWO THREE!!(and sometimes a bit of FIVE EIGHT NINE TEN!)" of her own! Ha! funnily enough, she gets off the chair (or puts on her jumper, takes off her shoes...etc.) on THREE. I think she thinks you have to wait for the THREE to go ahead and do what you're asked. I am sure the tongue poking will come soon enough..

Well I really did have alot of other work to catch up on tonight (due to taking time out from a bump on the head) but got side tracked with my cheeky Moopy idea... I really like this one... might have to make a few more...or even put this one in the exhibition? ..Bump on head you ask? Yes I stupidly wacked my head very very badly last Sunday afternoon and am still suffering from the headache a week later... so it's off to the hospital for a scan on Tuesday to see if there is any actual damage... I am sure it's nothing but a big headache though.. If one can operate a sewing machine and teach a class of 2 & 3 year olds one must be ok... apparently it is not unusual to have a headache this long from a blow to the head... Oh, how did I bump my head you ask? ... well I stood up underneith a big wooden shelf in our laundry...I have no idea why I would do that ... the shelf has always been there.. I think the shelf was telling me to slow down a minute...

Here is a little more close up action... a matchbox house... I must remember to show you the matchbox car book I found at an op shop.. illustrated by the wonderful M Sasek... or did I already show that? mmmm

UPDATE Rather than post up twice in one day... (you can see all this resting my head has me bored to tears! here I am again trying to pretend I am not posting twice) ahem.. here are a few more pics I took today with cheeky bunny and her blanky and cuddle toy...

the sketch I did last night with a bit of colour added today
