Oh, Beautiful Monday!

When I was working at my "real" job, I always looked so forward to the weekends and hated to see Monday morning roll around. But now that I am at home full-time, I find that I look forward to Monday mornings. Isn't that crazy? Don't get me wrong: I do love the entire family being home on the weekends and enjoy our time together, but by Monday morning, I'm ready to see everyone go back to school, back to work... I think it is because I get so much more done when I have the house to myself. Oh, I'm just so selfish with my time these days!!!

So this Monday morning, not having to share the computer, I rambled through the Etsy toybox, and here's the find of the day:



This is Truckle, a sock friend, and she is the Queen of Atari. Truckle is the creation of Kinichi River Designs, and I'd say that is some rockin' sock! Go on over and take a look. There are lots of sock friends there, but be forewarned. Ivah is probably swinging from the chandelier!!!!

Tizzalicious

Another cutie from the Etsy toybox!!!! This little monster is Fuggerella and she comes to us from Tizzalicious. Isn't she adorable??? She loves to be held; just don't mention pin cushions...

If you want to make your own little monster, Tizz will show you how! This is one well done tutorial! Well, get out your scissors and go on over...

Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine

I'm going to attempt to make a monster and I'll post a picture of my creation when done. If you make one, send me a link to the photo and I'll post yours here too! Can't wait to see what you, and I, come up with!! (Ha! Caught myself! I knew I would get sidetracked...)

There's a Monster Loose!!!!

Hold on to your crackers, there's a monster on the loose! He was last seen eating peas from the garden! If you see him, pick him up, give him a hug and send him on over to me! This is Royden and he is tbe creation of Belua. Go have a look at all her sock monsters! They are some kind of cute!!! (Who knew socks had such personality???)

Oh, oh, oh, another MOUSE!!!!

Get over to blueshedcrafts right now and take your mouse net... no mouse trap for this one... he is a keeper!!! isn't he just too cute??? Wait until you see the other little creatures he is keeping company with! So what are still reading for?? Go on over and... CATCH THAT MOUSE!!!!

Mouse in the House

Wasn't I just talking about a mouse??? Well, lookeehere what I found just listed at Etsy. He was being eyed by a cheshire cat in violetpie's shop. Go have a looky before he gets away!!! Cute critters!

How Funny Is This???

Isn't this just so funny, fun and funky??? Her name is Ida and she really wants to meet you! She is the creation of dkoss2 at Cutesy but not cutesy. Either way, I say, Cute!

Sydney, the Macon Mutt

Oh, my, my, just when I think I've found the cutest little critter there is, along comes another one. Meet Sydney the Macon Mutt. He was found chasing the bunnies over at Fluffy Flowers. What's more, he lives right down the road, say about 45 miles from me. Oh, I do love him! When Felicia of Fluffy Flowers is not making critters, she is blogging about making critters. Go say hello! And don't forget to read her series about setting up a craft booth at a weekly farmers market. Very informative!

Loretta

Isn't she lovely?? Loretta is a creation of Lori Brown whose talent and imagination will wow you! Take time and browse her shop for other handcrafted curiosities. To find out more about this artist and her work, you can visit Lori's blog.

The Toybox

Remember how as a kid you would ramble through the toybox, digging, digging, tossing things here and tossing things there, all in search of little bunnykins? But before you could find him, babydoll would catch your eye, and the toy iron, and soon you were busy ironing doll clothes. Then you'd remember bunnykins needs his clothes ironed too, so back to the toybox where you would begin again. Sooner or later, from the bottom of the pile, you'd pull little bunnykins up by the foot.

Well, that describes me perfectly when I Etsy. In search of fabric, I decide to stop by the forums. Then I get sidetracked by the treasury. Once in the treasury, I get further sidetracked by clicking, clicking, clicking.

Then, I see it! Beautiful.Awesome.Gorgeous fabric! But, you can't have it because...

It has become...

A pig.

Today's bunnykins pick from the Etsy toybox is this adorable little pig from Two Little Banshees.
