• A Word From Our Sponsor. . .

    Today’s Fortune: You will be rewarded for a job well done. I sure hope that fortune is true.  I am also hoping that I don’t get fired from my Official Spokesmonkey duties.  It has been two weeks since I was at L&B Yarn Co., and I am just now getting a chance to tell everyone about the cool new stuff I saw there there.  My Dad was on vacation last week, and we spent so much time having fun, I did not even get a chance to blog.  We did lots of great stuff, and I have lots to tell…

  • I am an Official Spokesmonkey!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will soon be the center of attention. Boy, that is one true fortune! Last Saturday, me and Mom went down to Norman, Oklahoma to meet my Auntie Tracy. Auntie Tracy lives in Tulsa, and she drove down so she and Mom could celebrate their belated birthdays together. Where did they decide to meet? A yarn store, of course. Like Mom, Auntie Tracy loves to knit.  Mom told Auntie Tracy that she wanted to visit L & B Yarn Co., because she had only been there once, and Dad was waiting in the car so she didn’t get…

  • Off to Camp Cavett!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Now is a good time to try something new. That is a great fortune! I have decided to try going to camp because I have never done that. We just got back from Ashevegas, and it is already time to hit the road again! This time, we are headed for Camp Cavett at Lake Texhoma. Mom is going to be teaching art to the kids, and I will get to meet all of them! There are going to be about 180 campers. Me and Puglet are very excited! This is the first time I have gotten to blog…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Darling Dharma and our visit to Webs!!

    Today’s Fortune: A thrilling time is ahead. Be on your guard. That fortune does not sound good. My fortunes are almost always right, so made sure I was on my guard before we left the hotel room, because I knew I was going to have a thrilling time! We drove to Sylvester’s Restaurant in Northampton, MA. I was too excited to even do a restaurant review, because I was going to see my darling Dharma again! She was waiting there with Walter, and she looked even more beautiful than I remembered! I was so happy to see her, I couldn’t…

  • Monkeys at Mast General Store….

    Today’s Fortune: One old friend is better than two new ones. I think this is a silly fortune. I don’t think you can have too many friends, ever. I have lots of old friends, but I always like making new ones. Saturday, June 27th was our only full day in Ashevegas, so we had to cram lots of fun into one day.  It started out with a trip to a place called Mast General Store. Mast is a wonderful place! They have all kinds of good stuff there. They had lots of monkeys there, including colorful sock monkeys that we…
