What is Buttercup’s surprise?

“American Apparel is proud to present our Earth Day collaboration with artist Todd Selby. This limited edition t-shirt features his illustration of our beloved furry friend—the sloth. Thirty percent of this shirt’s proceeds will go to the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica.”Screen Shot 2015-04-25 at 3.01.49 pm

The month of March

I love March. The Fringe Festival, Adelaide Festival, my birthday, great weather…

This month we have a wedding to look forward to, the boy can’t wait for footy to start, and there’s even a public holiday thrown in there too.

Also the start of a new month means the start of a new sloth to adorn my wall! So for the next 31 days I get to look at the beautiful face of… Buttercup!!

New Bed Clothes

Changed the sheets on my bed today. Lovely warm flannelette. A tan brown colour, in case you were wondering. It is a fabulous thing to have a comfortable, safe, snug place to sleep.

Just maybe, I would sleep even better, if I had Buttercup the sloth adorning my bed! Seriously, if anyone was thinking of a present for me for some reason…

Happy Birthday to my Best Friend

Today is the boy’s birthday! We had friends over last night, have spent all day together today and will see family tonight. He is the cherry on top of my sloth-filled life and I love him so very very much, not least for putting up with this all-consuming obsession of mine (and, generally, encouraging it…).

To get into the party mood, here’s some pics of Buttercup the Sloth on her birthday, from the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica. buttercupbirthday buttercupbirthday2
