Pinky the Conqueror?

This Saturday, Pinky got a chance to fulfill his long life dream of conquering Jerusalem, though it didn't go as well as he initially planned..

As soon as I heard that the almond trees are in bloom (a beautiful sight second, in my mind, only to the magical cherry tree bloom) I decided to go visit my friend B. in Jerusalem, the road to which is scattered with almond trees blooming in pink and white, and Pinky decided to come with me (actually B. said that I can only come if he comes. Really). After the beautiful trip we arrived at her place, drank some terrible chocolate espresso (my reaction to which was crying "shit!") we took our coats and drove to the Israel Museum, where I was looking forward to see the belongings of Babta Bat Shimon, a wealthy woman who during the second Judean-Roman war of 132-135 AC escaped with some of her belongings (key to her house, papers and certificates of her estate, some perfume and a mirror) to a cave in the desert, where she starved to death along with several other refugees. But enough about me.

Pinky enjoyed visiting the model of ancient Jeruslaem and the second temple, where he felt like a king.

He didn't enjoy the rest of the museum as much, I'm afraid, so B. was kind enough to let him rest in her bag for a while.

After a few hours in the museum, the three of us had enough, and went to our favorite local restaurant for some fine alcohol and food. Later than evening, B. Pinky and myself were immensely pleased with ourselves and the good company we enjoyed, exchanged kisses and hugs and said our farewells to each other and the city.

I asked Pinky if he would rather stay with B. and make another attempt at taking the city in the morning, but he was tired from the long day and missed Barbie, so I was very happy to drive both of us home, while he curled up and fell asleep on the sit next to me. Honestly, I would rather have him home than managing the politics of a city like Jerusalem. That is far too much a task for a such a small body, although if someone has the spirit and valor to resolve the Israeli-Arab conflict, that would undoubtedly be Pinky.

Happy Passover!

Enjoy your holiday everybody!

May you treat yourself favorably, like Pinky is in his bath, and always be happy for your friends, like Barbie and Mini Me are.

A new exciting product on my shop

Babies and gentlemen, prepare yourself for my wonderfully exciting new professionally printed Flutterbutt T-shirts line! The first of the bunch is the Pinky goes shopping tee in feminine V neckline. It comes in white in size XXL (which is 14-16), is made of 100% soft ribbed cotton and is currently available on my shop.

Doesn't she look lovely?

I am planning to add more tees to the shop in the near future. If you have a image you would like me to print or a specific size you like, do let me know.

Oh my!

My poor baby..

A few nights ago we were getting ready to go to bed. The night shift was sharing informations and records (due to my mom's condition, she is always accompanied by a Foamie, puppet or doll when she is going to bed. The night shift is in charge of helping her during the night and cheering her up when she wakes up feeling miserable, which is often the case). Pinky was leaving shift and Erez was about to begin his. When I was putting Pinky in his bad he suddenly screamed and fainted, and I realized to my horror, that his hand ripped open and was hanging by a thread (foam).

I had to act swiftly, so I immediately rushed him to my studio, anesthetized him and performed emergency hand fusion surgery. It was a long one, and the poor pink one was sent heavily drugged to his bed where he remains still, several days later.

During the first 24 hours he didn't want anyone or anything around him.

But he is well taken care of and surrounded by love 24/7

Barbie is off work till he gets better, and doesn't leave his side

And the scars are starting to heal, thank God

Love is in the air

This week has been a most exciting week at our home. For months I heard about her, but we never met. Then, last week Pinky set me and mamisha down for a serious talk. He said they are in love, and have a great respect for each other, and asked if we will object if he asks her to move in with him. Mamisha and I looked at each other, and mamisha immediately said "I will call her to invite her!". Needless to say, there was much happy crying and hugging after that.

And so, this Monday she arrived, with her gazillion pairs of high heeled shoes, laptop and gorgeous smile. 

Barbie is working as model, as you could probably guess

Usually models date soccer players, but the more intelligent

ones prefer choreographers, who are just as fit

Barbie and Pinky love to sit together after the workday is done

Sometimes, Pinky gives her one of his famous foot massages

(which we all grew to treasure)

Much to our suprise, Barbie turned out to be just as silly as Pinky

which makes their relationship even stronger. She changes a lot of my 

misconceptions about beautiful women, I have to say

I bet he'll pop the question soon! 
I hope he will, I like the idea of being a young grandma

All hail Princess Luli !!

Congratulations to Princess Luli, who passed her dancing tests with flying colors for the second year in a row!

Rubber stamp

Every aspiring dictator needs a rubber stamp. I already have one for my Etsy shop, but it is in English and I have plans for Israel too. So I was shopping for a Hebrew stamp and that brought me to the amazing, talented and oh so nice Mekoopelet.

After I initiated contact ("Hello I plan to control the world, and need a rubber stamp") Mekoopelet and I started a correspondence where I described what I am looking for, she sends me a draft  and so forth. We worked on several options, including either my website address or my phone number. Combining both would create a big stamp, and I wanted a relatively small one. She also suggested several illustrations, based on photos I sent her. It was quite clear from the get go, that Pinky would have to appear as my logo.

 

An advanced draft

Eventually, I decided I want to go with the smaller stamp, with my name and the Pinky sketch only and asked Mekoopelet to create two separate mini stamps - one with my URL (for business purposes) and one with my phone number (for stamping my books and taking over the world) and so she did! Yesterday, I received this wonderful wrap in the mail.

Next Pinky and I did some test stamping. Needless to say, he was very excited. Mekoopelet also sent the beautiful mounted stamp card you can see on the photo.

Finally, when we agreed we are satisfied, Pinky called Shafani (Pinky's stuffed bunny) to help with an official rubber stamp portrait. Remember this portrait well, for it may flutter on the flags of our proud nation one day soon (you would expect my portrait wouldn't you? But I know Pinky, and I know who is really having the last word around this house).

Are you a megalomaniac freak or a handmade artist? Do you sell vintage clothing you need to label or maybe would simply like to get your books back when you lend them? Email Mekoopelet today, order a stamp and tell her Pinky sent you.

An existential debate

A real conversation I recorded in my diary a while back, between me and Pinky.

Pinky - I think there for I am.
Me - Wow that's deep! Where did this come from?
Pinky - I've been thinking about it for a while now
Me - That means you have existed for a while now
Pinky - I didn't think of that..
Me - Which means you do not exist
Pinky - For crying out loud!

We have a very special relationship, my Pinky and I

Welcome! Come on in!

Pinky is here to welcome you, as I get ready to (re)start blogging my way to fame.
