Meet Pumpkin

Meet Pumpkin! Last week we went to an cat rescue center to donate some things to them, we weren't planning on getting anything untill we saw a gorgeous little white rabbit called Lexy, (who turned out to actually be a boy, despite the name). But more on Lexy, now bnamed charlie in my next post :) We went back the next day to collect Lexy and I asked if I could have a look at the kittens because I just love them! We went in a saw this little chap sat in his cage looking all sad. He has something wrong at the moment which means he has diarrhea :/ so nobody wanted him! We couldn't leave him so home we went with a little bunny and a ginger kitten.
He is settling in really well and the other cats are slowly getting used to him. Originally he was called Nougat, but we changed his name to Pumpkin, it suits him really especially because we got him the day after Halloween! He is such a cutey, he has the cutest ginger splodges on the side of his nose and lip and is just all over cute! I hope you all like him!

 
I thought I would include this photo from the other day when we got stuck in a carpark after the car tire split and my Dad had to change it (cue a lot of swearing form my Dad) It was absolutely freezing so I zipped up my gillet jacket all the way  past my chin and put the furry hood up!

Happy (sorry it's late) Halloween


Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great Halloween! I thought I would do a little post to show you all what I did, so here you go. My best friend Lily came round and of course we had to dress up and do our makeup! I decided against doing my half skeleton makeup that I showed you in a previous post and just did dark eyes, white skin and red lips. I attempted to do some fake blood drips from my lips, why did nobody tell me you can't put nail polish on your skin :| woops! I can safely say that I would not advise any of you do this as it really burned and I had to wipe it off pretty quickly. So in the end I used lipstick and then put lipgloss over it to make it look shiny, however this was very sticky so I wiped it off and settled for having on blood drips! 

I had carved my pumpkin into a VW capmervan (do you sense a slight obsession?) and it took me forever but I was pretty impressed I managed it! I carved my other pumpkin into jack form the nightmare before Christmas but it seems everybody and their mother did that this year! My brother also did 2 pumpkins that were your typical pumpkin face made from triangles. We also made Halloween chocolates and jelly that we later mashed up and put sweets it which we had to fish out with our mouths lol. We made Halloween skeleton cookies too, however the decorating them part didn't go so well (picture both me and Lily using syringes to try and decorate them) and you can see how they turned out from the photo (the song 'fix you - Coldplay' comes to mind, when you try your best but you don't succeed...' One of the gingerbread men also lost his legs in an unfortunate accident that involved me dropping him on the floor... but fear not I scraped him up and glued him back together with icing!

P.s - we may have got a little ginger kitten the other day (appropriately named Pumpkin) and also a little (well actually it's quite big) bunny rabbit! So expect a post on them soon!

P.P.s - My eyes aren't really brown (obviously) and Lily's aren't blue, but neither of us were allowed contacts :'( So we went for editing them in photoshop instead!
