Monkey Swappage #2!!
Yesterday I received Monkey Swap #2. He was made by Eve from Eve's Evocations in England. What a cutie! He has poseable arms and wiggly eyes. He told me his name is Rustle (rusty orange color). Eve also sent a wonderful bar of dark chocolate but alas, its not longer available for pictures. Hubs and I made short work of it.
Thank you so much Eve! He is truly adorable! I hope you have received my half of the swap. I mailed it the same day you mailed yours.
I also found a new monkey at the local Goodwill. His name is Truffle (Truff for short).
  He came with the stocking cap, scarf and a snowflake sweater. (put the sweater away until we get some cool weather).  Isn't he a fit?!
Thanks again Eve for cutely Rustle, nice job!

Blogaversary Winner
Over at Trashalou was a blogaversary recently. She had a drawing and guess whose name floated to the top? Thats right - Mine!
When hubs brought in the mail today there was a lovely box from far away.
Once I tore it open, this little fellow popped his head out. What a cutie monkey.
Our dog, Harry Barker tried to call dibs on him, but I beat him to it! There were two lovely balls of yarn that should make some wonderful monkeys. Last but not least - SWEETS - one of which is not there to be seen. I ate it right off! Nummers.
Thanks Trash, what a fun box of goodies!
I really enjoy your blog!

Zips R Us

amazed at how many were jammed in there. There was a little note tucked inside from the seller, letting me know that they had included a few extra zips "as a bonus".  There are short, long, plastic, metal, small teeth to HUGE teeth, every color and every length.

Pig has eyes
 Finally got eyes on Pig. They are heart shaped and purple to match some of the colors on Pig.
Haven't done much else in the past couple of days. Felt a bit crubbishy for a couple of days. Hoping to start some cutely moc-booties for Miles tomorrow. We'll see.
Question for those across the pond - is crubbishy a combination of crap and rubbishy? Or have I got the wrong translation? Please let me know. I look foolish often enough without using the wrong words.
A word I've heard a few times lately (from across the pond) is "Lippy". They were referring to lipstick. Is that a common word for lipstick or did I just happen across two folks from the same neighborhood?
Hubs is involved in Toastmasters. For those who don't know, Toastmasters is a bunch of folks who meet regularly and voluntarily get up and give speeches. CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!? Not something I'd EVER join! But he really enjoys it. This evening we went to a speech competition and Hubs gave a speech he's been working on. I'd never heard him speak before a group. He was funny (everyone laughed lots) and he did a great job. I say more power to him but I'll not be signing up, thanks!
As I'm typing I hear lots of "scrappy" noises near my feet. So I look over at Harry's bed and this is what I see. That is Harry in his bed ( he is the bump under the yellow baby blanket). He gets in bed and then moves around and around until he is all covered up . (or sometimes I put the blankie over him to save him time). I've no idea what he is doing under there and maybe I don't want to know.
I call his name and he pokes his head out of the covers. He is chewing on a rawhide stick. I don't know what the thrill is, but he loves them. He also has his favorite little bear under the covers with him. He likes to carry it around and he "talks" to it. Its a high whiny sort of noise. Its the only toy he talks to. His bear looks a bit the worse for wear - its well loved and so is Harry.
