Alpacas and cake and shelves

[louiselux]

I have all these lists of things to do now I'm out of work, but today I scrapped it all and went to see my friends who had moored a boat down at the local alpaca farm. I love alpacas. There are also some pics of my recent decorating and new shelves.



Run away!


Run away! Again! They might look smug, but actually alapcas are a panicky lot.


My bike and some more alpacas. It was a beautiful day, but by afternoon I was getting a bit chilled. I had a flat tire on the cycle home and bumped along for the whole five miles.


Baby alpacas! Not running away for once.


Nana cake I made using this recipe. It was delicious and moist.


New shelves in the newly decorated downstairs room! The paint colour is 'ice princess's boudoir'. All the books are finally off the floor. This is unprecedented.


These are painted with one coat eggshell and sprayed inside with gold spray paint.


Man and tools.

Eee, alpacas!

Where did you get those shelves? They're exactly what I've been looking for :) (And you know that, now you have no books on the floor, you have to get More Books, right?)

The shelves! I love them to death. Matt made them from wooden wine crates, and then we painted them. If you happen to find a place where you can get the crates, it's worth nabbing some. We got ours from the wine mail order company where Matt works, where they were giving them away for free.

The New Books are already flooding in.
