• Monkey About Town. . .

    Today’s Fortune: This is a good time to finish up old tasks. Well, that is an interesting fortune, because there is a lot that I have been needing to blog about that hasn’t been done yet. That is because Mom has been very busy with a big job. She worked on it all last week, and was too tired to be Adult Supervision. She will finish it tomorrow, though, so hopefully I will get to tell all about my zoo adventures and lots of other stuff soon. Today, I will finish up some old tasks, though. Two Friday nights ago,…

  • To Dye For. . .

    Today’s Fortune: Your flair for the creative takes an important place in your life. I guess that fortune is right, but I think my flair for fun takes a more important place in my life. I wish I would get some fortunes about fun instead of creativity. We have been creative enough for a while. Last week, Mom was finishing up projects for Ravelympics. She got some nice yarn from our friend Galeu for Christmas. Galeu is my Auntie Gale, and she lives in California. A lot of my Aunties live in California. I hope I can go see them…

  • Coming Unraveled!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Your artistic talents win the approval and applause of others. This is so true. Dharma and I have been helping Mom compete in the Ravelympics!  Ravelympics is just like the Olympics, only with yarn. And no snow. Ravelympics is taking place on Ravelry. That is Mom’s favorite place to hang out. The Ravelympics started at the same time as the Olympics, and they will have their closing ceremonies tonight. They have all kinds of events that you can compete in. Mom decided to enter the Aerial Unwind, Downhill Dying, and WIPs Dancing events.  I asked if I could…

  • A Swappy Bonanza!!!

    Today’s Fortune: There is a true and sincere friendship between you and your friends. Never was a fortune more true than this one! We have friends all over the world. Mom has been doing a bunch of Ravelry “swaps”.  Swaps are where you have a special theme, and then you figure out what your swap partner likes, and you send good stuff to them, and they send good stuff to you!    I really like swaps, because everybody always puts good stuff in the packages for me. The first swap we joined this year was the Warm Up in January swap…

  • Happy Birthday to Me!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Your greatest fortune is the large number of friends you have. Yay!! That is a great fortune, and it is absolutely right! I have friends all over the world, and a lot of them were able to be here to help me celebrate my birthday! I am one lucky monkey! Mom said since it was my birthday, I could choose whatever I wanted to do, so I decided to have cupcakes for breakfast! Mom let me pick out my favorite one, and she put a candle in it for me to make a wish and blow out. We…

  • A Christmas Dress for Lexi….

    Today’s Fortune: A simple kindness today will bring you great reward. I sure hope my fortune is right because I am being extra nice to Mom today. She has been wanting to blog about knitting ever since we got back from North Carolina, so I told her I would do it for her. That is mostly because when Mom blogs about knitting, it is really boring, and I don’t want people to go to sleep while they are reading my blog. While we were in North Carolina, Mom knitted a baby dress for our grandbaby, Lexi. This is what it…

  • 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.…
