It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!
Today’s Fortune: You will receive praise for a job well done. My fortune cookies know everything! They obviously knew that Mom was going to let me decorate for Christmas. She says I did a great job! I am glad to finally get a chance to blog. It has been a whole month since I got to use the computer! Me and Mom have been very busy making stuff. But it is a secret for now, because the stuff we have been making is all on its way to our friends! I will blog about the good stuff I made as…

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…

A Tiny Rock and a Great Big Boat!
Today’s Fortune: Others admire your independence. I think that fortune is probably true. I don’t see too many sock monkeys out doing stuff like I do, and people come up to me all the time to say “Hi.” Lots of people said “hi” to me while we were in Plymouth, which is where we went after we finished our witch project. Plymouth is where the Pilgrims first landed when they came to America. I was very excited to get to see Plymouth Rock. I expected a giant boulder. Instead, it was really tiny. I was a little bit disappointed to…

Felted Witches and Sock Monkey Costumes!
Today’s Fortune: Your flair for the creative takes an important place in your life. I guess whoever writes my cookie fortunes has heard about the witches and the sock monkey costume we have been working on. While we were visiting in Boston, we went to Auntie Kate’s yarn store. It is called The Creative Stitch. I don’t usually like to go to the yarn store much, because it can get kind of boring, but this time, Mom and the aunties were signed up for a “needle felting” class. They thought they were going to make pumpkins, but when we got…

Dining with Dharma at the Northampton Brewery!
Today’s Fortune: You will soon gain something you have been wanting. Well, I guess that fortune was true, because I have been wanting to see my darling Dharma for a while, and I got to spend a whole day with her! After we finished shopping at Webs, we all went to lunch together. We had to take two cars, because we couldn’t all fit into one. We went to lunch at the Northampton Brewery Bar and Grille. A nice lady was walking by and offered to take our picture out in front. That’s Auntie Pam, Austin, Uncle Don, Auntie Brenda,…
