Everything he says starts with the letter W. You see, he speaks a language called Weewah and hasn't been able to learn English or the hybrid language monster/english. His words are impossible to understand but he still manages to communicates his wants and needs. Buddy is 8" tall. Handsewn eyes mean he's baby safe but he gets along with children of all ages.About Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125993673058301634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140436842531757466.post-1742745344856350582009-01-10T17:09:00.001-05:002009-01-10T17:11:04.115-05:00Loki<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxnsl3lQSTOfz29vXnUPge7hYJULXgSRJSUZPnlseXVbwkbxCWggRv5o8WPQJGSWBqXPHwqEUMxahPWVJT1YapJ6h1S-gXODEiMgAXPJ8Exh0VnmCp1HboLmYQZVZviBUsZqTsIal9NrE/s1600-h/Hello+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289791032101207266" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxnsl3lQSTOfz29vXnUPge7hYJULXgSRJSUZPnlseXVbwkbxCWggRv5o8WPQJGSWBqXPHwqEUMxahPWVJT1YapJ6h1S-gXODEiMgAXPJ8Exh0VnmCp1HboLmYQZVZviBUsZqTsIal9NrE/s320/Hello+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div></div><div>Don't let his "aw shucks" demeanor fool you. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19561235">Loki is a little trouble maker</a>.

Aside from that one little insecurity, he's a very sweet monster and would make someone a great companion.I consider him baby safe because of the hand sewn eyes.About Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125993673058301634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140436842531757466.post-5404661216422710062009-01-09T22:24:00.001-05:002009-01-09T22:26:53.117-05:00Yule<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgRrci-BqZL2zot263QYQ0lsARrAadjAeAxWuzpOpukpocj6PEI7mVo6WMATdiiXg4HU2pSQUjViUcCh-f56mb8m0HrnYCcKi_hRQvGnxMaW2nM9NT0smGPDsdqtV9lQBI-bbvepguDek/s1600-h/DSC02238.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289501287486898322" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgRrci-BqZL2zot263QYQ0lsARrAadjAeAxWuzpOpukpocj6PEI7mVo6WMATdiiXg4HU2pSQUjViUcCh-f56mb8m0HrnYCcKi_hRQvGnxMaW2nM9NT0smGPDsdqtV9lQBI-bbvepguDek/s200/DSC02238.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=19481008">Yule</a> is a little off center.

She is definitely not scary making her the disappointment of her family. But she doesn't care. She is her own monster and she just doesn't like to scare people. Standing at 6" tall, Linnea has button eyes. I would give her to a child that has stopped eating his or her toys. She is not safe for babies especially those who like to explore the world with his/her mouth.About Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125993673058301634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140436842531757466.post-83957661666815889422008-12-11T14:58:00.002-05:002008-12-11T15:01:15.526-05:00Blossom<a title="DSC02175 by VBlackwell, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vjg/3097536515/"><img height="180" alt="DSC02175" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3045/3097536515_24a381e269_m.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18556997">Blossom </a>is a late bloomer. Although she does communicate with her hands, she isn't quite using words yet. I imagine speech will come with time and patience. I am confident in her ability to learn. She likes to be read to. Her favorite book is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snowman">The Snowman</a>. I think it's because the story is told with pictures and not words. Blossom is 6" and completely handsewn with no removable parts.About Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125993673058301634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140436842531757466.post-55590717863292704742008-12-10T14:01:00.001-05:002008-12-10T14:02:49.543-05:00Clancy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbIju8OeSZ2RQu3EvzGeo6GytwMMxr15Z8VYhxoUOXJt47JJNFkf6iuwA2-j7czH093uAOxsC5q6yHHwKNdlFzHy03SgLNwNQ5pW1L0INLFOqxJKf2zeyVBXG1KJZt1_LoPo7oXPN4m_4/s1600-h/Clancy.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278238922546488146" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbIju8OeSZ2RQu3EvzGeo6GytwMMxr15Z8VYhxoUOXJt47JJNFkf6iuwA2-j7czH093uAOxsC5q6yHHwKNdlFzHy03SgLNwNQ5pW1L0INLFOqxJKf2zeyVBXG1KJZt1_LoPo7oXPN4m_4/s200/Clancy.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=16998425">Clancy</a> is related to another monster listed at Vexillia Sock Monsters named Chauncy. They were made from the same socks and bare a striking resemblance to one another. There are differences, the biggest one being Clancy's IQ. While Chauncy believes anything you tell him, Clancy questions everything. Clancy can get on our nerves, which is why we're trying to teach him better social skills at our school for Monsters. Clancy is 9" tall with matching button eyes. I recommend him for children three years of age and up.</div>About Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125993673058301634noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140436842531757466.post-9299552558820942102008-12-10T13:59:00.001-05:002008-12-10T14:01:17.728-05:00Big Red<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUvckR5qh3htO8UNRfB5o5jffoigerjzC3Dk6laA75zxl4Z1OuFXa-RKmYc3bS6kPmZPNDeqvLYvo2nlN1cwuN3Ko4fIAXfx1rzRXE3aCg5urxw9M00k-A1WfnAJtmNZlQJmECRDpbcA/s1600-h/Big+Red.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278238416034362306" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUvckR5qh3htO8UNRfB5o5jffoigerjzC3Dk6laA75zxl4Z1OuFXa-RKmYc3bS6kPmZPNDeqvLYvo2nlN1cwuN3Ko4fIAXfx1rzRXE3aCg5urxw9M00k-A1WfnAJtmNZlQJmECRDpbcA/s200/Big+Red.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=16998683">Big Red </a>is one of the tallest monsters at Vexillia Sock Monsters, standing almost 12" tall.

I had a lot of down time and was able to start and finish Elliot in two sittings. Elliot is wearing a stylish track suit made from one of the many many pairs of socks I bought earlier this year. In total, I used four socks to create him.Regarding his personality, he's a little bit pushy. A bit of a bully, we caught him making fun of poor little Chauncy. In spite of all the teasing, Chauncy still likes Elliot.With his soft horns, Elliot is 11" tall.Recommended for children, three years of age and up.<br /><div></div>About Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125993673058301634noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140436842531757466.post-82920199306036285742008-12-10T13:52:00.001-05:002008-12-10T13:54:03.105-05:00Marco<a title="DSC02136 by VBlackwell, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vjg/3098360634/"><img height="180" alt="DSC02136" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3195/3098360634_a0b2050bf6_m.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=17994217">Marco's</a> favorite game to play is hide and seek.

He got tired of being picked on by the bigger monsters. So, he talked to some of the other little monsters that live at the Vexillia sock monster factory and convinced them to make a little gang. Now they stand up to the bigger monsters. But sometimes I get worried they might try to take over the house. Plink is 6" tall and made out of two different socks. His button eyes are a choking hazard so use your best judgement.About Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125993673058301634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140436842531757466.post-23142908683802030902008-12-10T13:46:00.001-05:002008-12-10T13:47:56.367-05:00Tiberius<a title="DSC02147 by VBlackwell, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vjg/3097530285/"><img height="240" alt="DSC02147" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3053/3097530285_15748cd4d5_m.jpg" width="180" /></a><br />Just because <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=17995262">Tiberius</a> is wearing pink pants doesn't mean he's a girl.
