Headed for Ashevegas!!
Today’s Fortune: Prepare for an exciting trip soon to come your way.
Another timely fortune! We are headed to Ashevegas in the morning!!
I have not been able to blog for so long! Mom had the flu for several days, and she has been busy painting a cabinet for one of her clients, so she has not had time to be Adult Supervision. This is what the cabinet looked like before she painted it…
And this is what it looked like after she painted it. We think it looks much better with all that fun colorful paint on it!
So much has happened since the last time I got to blog that I don’t even know where to start. I will tell about a few special things, but Mom says I have to keep this short because I have to finish packing.
Mom has been in a lot of swaps with her Ravelry friends. She had a “Tiny World” swap with the Handmade Pincushion Group. The idea was to create a tiny world in a teacup, based on where the recipient’s favorite place in the world would be. Mom made a tiny Italy for my Auntie Frieda who lives in Texas.
And Auntie Frieda made Mom the most awesome Sock Monkey Land!! It has a funny little house and sock monkey pins! We love it a lot!
Our sock monkey dream date swap on Ravelry ended. This is the monkey me and Mom made for our swappy partner. Her name is Cupcake and she is very cute. She went to my Auntie Rhonda in Delaware.
And the sock monkey dream date we received was from my Auntie Lizz in California. His name is Fletcher and he is awesome!! He is hand knitted, and we think he’s about the best knitted monkey we have ever seen!
Fletcher is a great new friend! He brought all kinds of stuff for me and Mom – yarn, cards, stickers, tools, art supplies, candy and more. But my favorite thing he brought was a whole bunch of mustaches for us to share! Now I don’t have to worry about whether or not Mom will let me shave. I can just wear a cool mustache!
My other favorite thing he brought was the cat butt wallet. I wanted to keep it, but Mom said she was taking that one to keep her change in. It is very funny – on both sides!
I have to go for now… Me and Puglet are flying on the airplane with Mom first thing in the morning. We are going to Ashevegas like we did last summer to meet up with a whole bunch of my Aunties and all of their sock monkeys. It will be a sock monkey and knitting party for five days!!
Unfortunately, Fletcher does not get to go with me, because Mom says he takes up too much real estate. I will be sure to bring him back some souvenirs and I will blog all about our Asheville fun as soon as we get home!

Where to start? I love everything here!!! The cabinet was beautiful before, but now it is AWESOME! Great job painting it! The tea cup pin cushions are wonderful! I love them. I love the sock monkey dream date exchange! You finally have an assortment of mustaches that you can wear. I can’t wait to see what they look like on you. The cat butt change purse it awesome. My husband gave me cat butt stickers for our anniversary one year. I can’t wait to show him the coin purse. Have fun on your trip!

Oh, dear Noah! I wish I had had a chance to talk to you last night. I did manage to talk to your mom and she was having a lot of fun. I suspect, with all the noise I heard in the background, you found a nice quiet spot to have fun with all your friends. I know you will bring back stories about your trip and I can’t wait to read them.

Hi Noah,
Boy! You get to travel with your mom. How exciting. I’m afraid all my mom can do is sit and knit. And clean the house. She does sew, but mostly it’s been baby bibs. She did promise to make me a shirt and maybe another pair of pants. But she said she needs to finish sewing all those bibs so can can get them out of the house. She made me a tool belt. She made one for you, too. Did you get it yet? I think she said she was going to send it to Ashevegas.
Today I’m going to find something to fix with my tools. Last week I tried to help Dad fix the fountain. But I kept getting wet, so Mom made me watch instead.
You buddy,
Chip

Hi Noah,
I hope you are having a great time on your vacation! I haven’t been able to blog lately either. Laura is too busy to help me… hmph!
Cupcake and Fletcher are really cool! You all did a great job!
Your Pal,

Hi, Kristy!
I will tell Mom you like the cabinet! I think she did a pretty good job on it, too. I do wish she would give me the cat butt coin purse, though.
Love, Noah

Hi, Auntie Pam!
It was loud. Me and the other monkeys had a party in the other room. Those ladies get started talking about knitting and they just get silly.
Love, Noah

Hi, Chip!
I got that tool belt your Mom made for me! It is awesome! Maybe next year you and Auntie Pam can come to Ashevegas with us. If not, maybe she will mail you there for the festivities.
Love, Noah

Hi!
Mom really loved the yarn store in Candler. I didn’t love it so much, but I never like yarn stores. There is not a lot of monkey fun there. I will blog about the store when we get back from camp. 🙂
Love, Noah

Hi, Big Monkey!
It is no fun when our people are too busy to help us blog. I have waited all week to blog about Ashevegas, and now we are on the way to Camp Cavett! I may never get caught up.
Love, Noah
