Gosh  - Its Feb 2012!!! Just popped in to say Hello and try to sort out my problem with Flickr - For some reason beyond my technical skills it can't get it to link to my Flickr account like it used to! Sadly you can't all see my pictures of the Monkeys or frames. Just don't get it!! And I will be honest with you - it is driving me mad!!! ARGHHHHHH!

So I will just have to post you some new piccies here instead.... lets see if these work....

 YIPPEE.... Still the issue with Flickr to sort but at least you get to see some latest creations. Who thinks Monkey above needs white eyes? You can barely see them being black on black... maybe a small alteration is required.

Speak soon people. (:(|)x

Monkeys hit Twiss Green (:(|))x

Blimey - Time flies! Can't believe I haven't made a post since August!! Sorry Monkey Mates. I'm back to working shifts and have been busy making Monkeys to rehome at Christmas Craft fairs that are happening. Next one for us is Warrington Cares on 26th Nov in Penketh - and its to raise money for the rehabilitation of injured Soldiers.... a very worthy cause. Full details are on facebook so pop in and spend some money.

Another fair happening in the area is on Sat 29th Nov at St Thomas' Church Hall in Stockton Heath - We won't be there unfortunately but don't let that stop you as it is also to raise money for Macmillan Nurses. I will definitely be going to visit and getting some early Christmas pressies!

You can also see my latest line of Picture frames on display. This was the first showing of them and they were very well received with several custom orders being made. You can see a full album of photos on the Facebook page.

All for now... promise not to leave it so long next time.... Honestly!!

Drunken Munkey (No... just a prop!!)

Evening all! No the Monkeys haven't hit the bottle - don't fret. I am a responsible Monkey Mother. (My Monkeys won't be out looting & rioting!!)

I wanted to post a picture showing the size and proportions of the Monkeys and thought to myself... "What can I photograph them with that everyone recognises and knows the size of?" The answer was staring at my from across the Kitchen... WINE! (Pink wine especially!!) I figured the size of a wine bottle doesn't really alter much and most people know how big a normal bottle is.

The picture is of two monkeys that have been sent to new homes and families today. The one on the right is a £25 monkey and is the largest size monkey to be created at the Hut. The Blue one on the left is a £15 monkey. Hopefully from the picture you can get a good idea of how big the Monkeys are.

All for now... I need a drink after all this talk of wine....but think I'll settle for a brew. (:(|)X

Monkey Managers - Next stop Planet of the Apes!

They are planning World domination you know??

These pictures made me laugh out loud! I made these three cheeky chaps for the great people at Super Fat Laces. I get some of my socks to make Monkeys from them and they asked me to make them a Mascot. Check out the fab selection of socks and laces at www.superfatlaces.com

Two of them will be taken to a festival they are attending and I think...They will be given away as prizes.... but don't blame me if they decide to keep them as office pets!

As you can see from the pictures they have arrived safely and settled in very well - although I think they may have caused some distraction from work! These photos are just a couple of the Monkeys in various settings and poses around the office.....

Which led me to think..... What do you think about sending me pictures of your Lilibet Made Monkeys in unusual places and positions.... (Nothing rude you Mucky minded people!) I'll post them on the facebook page for everyone to have a giggle at!

The Festival!

Hello All!

The Monkeys were very pleased to meet so many of you at the Stockton Heath Festival. Thanks to everyone who came and made the day loads of fun. The weather was great as well which brought out the crowds.

Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures for those who weren't able to make it so you can see how cool the Monkeys look on display - They were well behaved all day and loved all the attention!

You can see on the pictures some of the other items on sale along with the Monkeys including the gorgeous quilts, stunning silk scarves, Jenni's beautiful jewellery (Offbeat beads) and Ruth's lovely china tea cup candles. To see more of these items have a look at my facebook pages or get in touch and I'll give you contact details for them. Thanks again to Maeri at the Make and Do studio for organising the stall and getting me involved. Take a look at www.themakeanddostudio.com for the new list of classes.... I'm thinking of doing a bag making class.....

If you want to offer a Monkey a home take a look at the flickr pictures to see the designs, patterns and colours available. Don't forget if you want something specific that you don't see - just send me an email and I'll do my best to make a Monkey or other animal exactly as you want.

:(|) Its a Monkey face...??! x

HEY HEY WE'RE THE MONKEY'S!

And people say we Monkey around! But we're too busy...

Blimey - Stockton Heath Festival is THIS SATURDAY so it really is all systems go at the Hut! I've put loads of new pictures on the flickr of the Monkeys that will be available for adoption on Saturday so take a peek. Most of them are"One Offs" so if you see one you would like to offer a home to make sure you let me know or get down to the festival early. Most of the Monkeys are between £15 and £20.

The Craft stalls open at 10.00am till 6.00pm on the field near Alexandra Park and is only a short walk from the Village. There are loads of beautiful things for sale on the stall - all unique and handmade by local people. There will be Bags, Jewellery, Quilts, Scarfs, Brooches, Candles and Bird feeders to name just a few. So make sure you brings so pennies with you as something is bound to catch your eye.

Please tell your friends and come say Hello. (You may even get a Monkey Hut sticker!!!)

Back from our Holiday.

This is just a quick "Hello" - Didn't want anyone to feel neglected and the Monkey's wanted to tell there adopted brothers and sisters that they are fine and dandy!

We have been on holiday for a week to Devon but even then a few Monkeys were made. (I have to make the most of the time away from the day job !) Found a lovely shop called "Made it" that sells fab buttons, beads and fabric - I spent ages just looking round at all the shiny colourful things trying to decide what to buy. I know they have a facebook page so I'll try and link them to the Monkey Hut.

Hope you like the picture of the two latest additions. . .

All for now Monkey Mates. x
