This week has been a roller coaster of emotions but it ended on a high with some good news from the endo at my annual check up and for that I am very, very grateful. I am so ready for the weekend. are you?!
Before we get stuck in, can we just take a minute to appreciate the canine cuteness of today’s header! These bunnies were made by my talented friend, Agata, who I have renamed the Crochet Queen. I think the Rabbit Hole has a new mascot! I’m trying to persuade her to open an Etsy shop with her crocheted menagerie because everyone needs some of this crochet cuteness in their life, don’t you agree?
This week there was so much goodness around the inter webs. This week’s sojourn down the rabbit hole is going to be action packed!
Today is National Cake Day and quite frankly, it would be rude not to celebrate. I asked my trusty co-pilots, Karin and Paula about their all time favourite cake. Karin chose a butter cake with passionfruit icing, but I took things one step further in the passionfruit department, with Violet, the Passionfruit Sponge. Paula opted for an Eclair Cake. I hadn’t heard of it before but now I know about it, I have to try this delicious creation made with graham crackers, vanilla custard and chocolate frosting. So much nom! Mine is my nana’s best ever bread pudding which is a cake and a dessert all in one. I’ve been loving it since I was on solids. True story!
We’ve dusted off our advent calendars, the cloth ones with pockets that we’ve had since we first got together.

These are obviously adults only which just goes to show, you’re never too old for an advent calendar!
