• More Monkey Gifties!!

    Today’s Fortune: Good luck will continue to come your way. This is a very good fortune! Good luck always seems to come my way. I am glad to hear that it will keep coming! We just keep getting presents from our Ravelry friends!! Boxes show up on the porch almost every day, and every day seems like Christmas. We got a really good swappy package from our friend ScoutDiva. Her real name is Dawn, and she sent us all kinds of awesome stuff. Dawn makes really pretty things out of paper. This is called “scrapbooking”, and she is very good…

  • I am on the Nice Monkey List!!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are about to receive a big compliment. The guy that writes my fortunes knows everything! Santa knows everything, too. I wonder if they are related? We received so many packages in the last week or so from our Ravelry friends! There was a wonderful package from our friend Outdoork9lady. Her real name is Margaret, and she is Cody and Mink’s mom. Cody and Mink got to come stay with us some this summer, and we had all kinds of fun. Auntie Margaret sent a package of yummy chocolates for me, and some very nice yarn for Mom.…

  • Our Christmas Tractor Swappy Package!

    Today’s Fortune: Family is more valuable than money. But you will have both. This fortune is very true. I do get 12 quarters every week for my allowance, but my family and friends are much more valuable than all the money in the world! Lots of my Ravelry friends have been sending presents to me and Mom, so it has been Christmas for a while at my house. We like celebrating Christmas for several days. Mom was in a Christmas Santa Swap with her tractor girls. We got the best package in the mail while we were gone to North…

  • My Magnetic Personality….

    Today’s Fortune: People are drawn to your magnetic personality. Wow! My fortune cookies know everything! We are finally back from our visit to North Carolina, and I brought my magnetic personality home in our suitcase. A lot has happened since the last time I got to blog. I got to see my brother and sister-in-law, our new grandbaby, and their good yellow cat. I also got lots of presents in the mail while I was gone, so I will probably have to spend several days telling about them all. But first, I have to tell about the good stuff I…

  • A Sock Monkey Tour of Salem!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will make many changes before settling satisfactorily. This is a good fortune. because I’m already trying to decide what mine and Puglet’s Christmas cards should have on them this year. It is almost time to be sending those out. I have a lot of ideas, but they are all good, so it is hard to make up my mind. It’s good to know that it will be settled satisfactorily, though. I am glad Mom is letting me blog today, so I can finish telling about the Boston trip! She has to work the rest of this week,…

  • A Sock Monkey Bonanza!!

    Today’s Fortune: Avoid scattering your energies. That is some really good advice. I think I should pass it along to Mom. She’s busy working on swappy packages for our Ravelry friends, Christmas presents for friends and family and making a ton of stuff to put in her etsy shop.  She is not making very good progress on any of it.  I think that is because she is trying to do to many things all at one time.  She needs to focus. I am very focused.  Mostly on sock monkey stuff.  Our Halloween efforts were kind of disappointing.  We only had…

  • Happy Sock Monkey Halloween!!!

    Today’s Fortune: A project you have in mind will soon gain momentum. That fortune has already come true! Today is Halloween, and Mom had to get up very early this morning to make us some Halloween costumes, because she “procrastinated”. That means she got busy doing other stuff, and put our costumes off until the last minute. Even though they were done on short notice, I think they turned out very good!  I am spending Halloween as a Ninja Vampire!  Mom made my cape out of polar fleece, and lined it with some red cotton.  She also made me a…
