• 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…

  • I am an Entrepreneur!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Your money worries are over! Your new job will bring you a huge increase in income. This fortune could not be better timed! I am now an “entrepreneur.” That means I have started a new business. I am glad I have had business cards for a while, now, because they will probably come in handy. Just before Christmas, Mom let me make sock monkey magnets to send to all of our Ravelry and sock monkey friends. I made a whole fridge full of them, and they turned out really good. After mailing out all of my Christmas cards,…

  • Monkey Valentines!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Good luck is a result of good planning. I think my fortune is right about that. Today is Valentine’s Day, which I have been planning for a while now, and it turned out great! We have been receiving Valentines all week! We got Valentines from our friends Pat, Barb, Lori, Dawn, Lulu, and Anna, and I got one from my Grandma and Grandpa, too! Some of them were handmade, and some of them had neat stuff in them. We loved them all!! Mom has been working on “Ravelympics” stuff for a couple of days now. Ravelympics is like…

  • 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…

  • Monkey Cupcakes!!!

    Today’s Fortune: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Lao Tzu I don’t know who Lao Tzu is. Maybe he is the guy who writes all the fortunes that go in my cookies. Tomorrow is my birthday party!! Me and Dharma got to make cupcakes today. Mom saw a magazine with some really good monkey cupcakes a couple of months ago. We don’t remember the name of the magazine, but you can find the instructions at tasteofhome.com. If you want to make some of these cupcakes, here is all the stuff you will need: The first…

  • The best present ever!!!

    Today’s Fortune: A pleasant surprise is in store for you. This is the best fortune ever!! I got a package on Monday. Mom said it was for me, so I got out the scissors and cut it open. It was a birthday present from our friends Manitoba2ct and TwistedCT! They are my Auntie Brenda and Uncle Don, and they live in Connecticut with my darling Dharma. (That is why they have “CT” in their names.) I was very excited to open the box! There was a box of Converse shoes, a card with a monkey sticker, and two presents wrapped…
