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…

Our Monkey Family Keeps Growing…
Today’s Fortune: Your blessings are too numerous to count. That is a good fortune, and very true. I have more friends than I can count, and I get to do more fun stuff than anybody I know. It is good to be me! After I opened my big box from Big Monkey, I helped Mom open the rest of the stuff that finally got delivered on Monday. We had two more Christmas cards from our Ravelry friends! One was from 2MayBoys. Her real name is Dawn, and she is Niklas and Mattias’s mom. Her card has cute puppies and peppermint…

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.…

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…

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…
