No Longer For Sale

I decided to keep this one at home. I took her off the market. I named her Pflur and I gave her a very sweet personality - she really likes potatoes.

Anyway, I washed her today and one of the socks I used to make her started pilling and she doesn't look so great anymore. But she is clean.

So, Pflur is going to stay home with Jon and me.

Mmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Gone.

This morning, I received notice that I've sold Mmmmmmm - pastel striped sock monster. Tomorrow, I'll make the arrangements that will send him to his new home in Arizona. Hopefully, he won't be too uncomfortable. After all, he's gotten used to the swampy, humid, summer weather of New York City. The dry Arizona air might make him feel parched.

Schmooey and me. Schmooey is my smallest monster yet. He's only 5 inches tall. {You could see I got a little sunburn yesterday bike riding}.

Crug Lives In England Now

Monday marked the last day that Crug dwelled chez Blackwell. Pursuant to the instructions of his new owner, I packed him up and shipped him out to England. Crug's new owner explained that she was a huge fan of the color pink and had a large collection to which she wanted to add our little pink friend.


Amazingly, Crug arrived in England today, only four days after I dropped him off at the post office. His new owner left me very positive feedback and sent a great photo of Crug in his new home.

HipHop looks like a bunny but surely he is not. He doesn't have a white fluffy tail. And he is missing a bunny's characteristic whiskers and pink nose. However, his monster genus has the same origins as a bunny. That's why they look so similar. HipHop likes carrots and is fiercely protective of whoever is taking care of him.


This is Pfli. He's a social monster which is why he is hanging out with the other monsters pictured. Although he is pink, he is very much a boy in that he likes to get into trouble - on purpose. We caught him rearranging the shirts in my dresser right after we caught him in the bathroom unrolling all the toilet paper.

This is Petunia. She always does what we tell her and she never misbehaves. Note that she has fingers, which is a new feature I'm adding to my monsters.

This is Pflur. Pflur likes potatoes. And she loves talking about them. Last night, I ordered lemon potatoes from our local Greek eatery and she couldn't stop staring at them. I offered her one, but she can't really eat. Her mouth is sewn shut.
