Monkey!!!!
♥ Comments (14) ♥
Sometimes you just get the best mail ever. And i do mean EVER. I opened the mailbox the other day and inside was a pretty red mailer. Inside was a handknitted monkey. Alexis was kind enough to make and send me a little friend. He hasn’t really revealed his name to me yet, but i’m getting to know him.
Saturday on pizza and beer day i found him hogging my IPA.

On Sunday i spotted him wanting to be a pepper too.

We came ome from brunch and i think i spotted some hijinx in our tree.

Then later in the afternoon he moved to be close to our presents under the tree

Then after we opened our gifts i saw him lounging on my orange chair with one of my gift bows

Then he just pretty much hung out on the radiator since it was -4 in chicago all day

Thank you for the monkey, Alexis! He is going to travel with me to philly tomorrow for his great philly adventure!
I also got a little gift that made me smile from Erika
She sent me a little stitch marker set made by Cary. They are beautiful! Thank you very much Erika!

And last i’ll share lucy dog. She is the queen of comfort. She will find ANYTHING you put on the floor and make it her lounge. This would include my mom’s handmade, hand quilted or whatever tree skirt.


We’re off to philly to spend the holidays with nat and his parents. I’m already planning my vacation eating…tastykakes, cheesesteaks at jim’s or ishkabibbles, sandwhiches made with paper thin cheeses and meats, nat’s mom’s hommade peanutbutter snicker-doodles….dunked in my tea, mmmmmmm om nom nom. I wish you a warm and wonderful holiday!

Merry Christmas Jen! That monkey is SO cute! I totally want to make one now, and I’m not even a sock monkey fanatic! I think all the mischief he was getting into makes him even cuter.
Love your Lucy too! How adorable she is lounging under the tree :) xo

I love him! I really want one, but if he is going to go after my beer and Dr. Pepper we are going to have to have a talk.
