The tahi this week is a bit cute...

Ok, so this weeks tahi is not as accessible or publicised as all the others have been. But it's a huge and super amazing thing in my life and now is an exceedingly appropriate time to write about it.

My girlfriend of two years (who I've known for three years and kind of dated for that whole time, I think? Kids these days... ) is moving in with me and Ben TOMORROW! She's finally leaving Hamilhole ("The Tron" "City of the Future" "Chlamydilton") and moving into the strawberry shortcake flat with us.

So, you guessed it, the tahi this week is my girlfriend Daniela.
JUST LOOK AT THIS PHOTO OF MY CUMAN (cuman = cute human)

I actually can't say no to this face... or this pose... or this hat

Daniela told me that when her step dad moved in when she was little, she drew a picture of him with her Mum and brother that said "Welcome to Our Family". So I decided I'd make her one to celebrate her joining our family (me and Ben, two useless siblings with no parents and too much money to buy take aways with but not enough to cook proper meals) to bring things full circle. So that's the painting of the week! And for the first time I've drawn a picture that actually looks like me, and not a female Rowan Atkinson.

Ben looks a bit creepy, sorry Ben!

And I'm about to make a heart shaped cake so that we can celebrate tomorrow with traditional celebration food.

So yes, that is the number one thing in my life at the moment.

BUT I know some people will be like "HEY, RUBY. I CAME HERE FOR SOME DANK CONTENT THAT WILL IMPROVE MY LIFE / GIVE ME SOMETHING COOL TO DO???" so here's the rua for this week... Thieve. Thieve is a website that features artists and creatives curated collections of the best things they've got from the great AliExpress, which is a website that allows you to buy straight from factories, cutting out the middle man and saving you a ridiculous amount of money (is it legal????? kinda?????). Everyone's mate, Ali, is about to have her big 11:11 sale so a lot of the cool stuff that Thieve has on offer (hello, art socks) are about to be reduced even further. 

So yes, that's it for this week! Next week I'll be doing a feature on something based in Wellington and have lots of photos and drawings but you'll have to come back next Friday to see what it is. Happy 11:11 from me and mine. 

Arohanui,

Ruby
