At loooong last!!!










































Genevieve and I headed to South Melbourne Market for our weekly fix of Jam Donuts and food shopping. Sweep house. Mop house. Water orange trees and rose bushes..... Ok so i was procrastinating, but i was a little scared to start my project for the Genki.

6 hours later and one jug of Sangria (not all me, i know not to operate heavy machinery while drinking...do sewing machines and irons count?) I made a life sized Sausage Dog.

Her name is Dolly. She is quite wonky in her back legs and it kinda looks like she is squatting which is very Sausage dog like if you were to ask Moca to sit. We say squat around the house now. I found the pattern for her here.

She is going to be apart of the Genki Happy Springtime Caravan as a welcoming dog. Dolly is going to be up for auction too, with all the proceeds heading to Melbourne City Mission.
I think Moca will be happy to see her go, especially when she interfered with his sunday walk.

Thanks to everyone so far for entered the Housemate Competition. Keep them coming. Luce thank you for your entry, but i can't win!!

Love Brooke Moca and Dolly

Oh Brooke, I love Dolly - she is gorgeous. I'm sure Moca will be said when she moves to the Genki Caravan. I think that the caravan is the absolute best idea ever. Good on you for being part of it.

Love Kirsty
