Mini Monkeys have arrived!!

I’ve had a lot of folks show interest in the idea of mini monkeys so I thought I’d make some and put in my ArtFire shop.

The nice thing about Mini Monkeys – apart from their adorable expressions – is their price! At $10 US each who can afford to be without one – or two… or…???  [...]

Cookin’ up my next Giveaway!

It’s getting close to Giveaway time!! Wanna know who’s up for grabs? This little monkee is the star of my next giveaway.  I’m trying to hatch something a little different.  A treasure hunt – or should we say Monkee hunt! The hunt will hopefully include clues, or a map, or things [...]

Two more Monkees head out into the Wild!

Today is the first day of June, not that you’d know it by the weather.  It’s barely above 10c and raining again. David decided we needed to go to the Post Office and as I had a package to mail we went together.  Did we get anything exciting in the post?  Dunno – we both [...]

Here’s the wackiest one so [...]

Monkees with freckles!

From time to time something goes awry.  Something unplanned happens, as with this guy

Isn’t he good looking?!  I’ll call him Murdoch.

Murdoch was born with looks to wow the ladies, and a cowlick that most bovines would jump gates for.  David says he has a Homer Simpson quality to his face, I happen to think he looks [...]
