Stuffed Animal Collection: Becky Responsible for all (toys) Refugees

Image
on the bench from left to right: Sharky, Valentine, Scout, King Sher Con The Great, Tabby, The Mouse, Becky (me), George (my honey), Honey Joe Hey blog readers out there, I need your help. I don't know why but Jenn has gone crazy I think. She said She needs me to figure out who all can fit in her new bus (she bought a school bus last November) and who is going to be sold as a refugee in a child's home. I am just a one foot tall stuffed monkey (toy) how am I supposed to do all that!!! Please help.... Jenn said I have nothing to worry about I won't ever be sold, but I am offended by this notion of selling her stuffed animal collection (toys). Her creativity and imagination has given us voice, and now we're people too. It is a very prejudiced attitude towards some of the ones she's not very close with. All because she wants to downsize and move across the country exploring as she goes. The end goal is of course home to AK, after a year of exploring the continental US. ...

Updates on my life as a craftsperson and artist (Sher Con the Great Retires)

I am writing a fantasy novel. It has been going on for about a year now. I currently have 22600 words of a rough draft typed into a wattpad draft. (I'm only using it to keep track of the words - like a free version of google docs. idk. I want to illustrate it with drawings and paintings of my characters and the scenery, along with some floorplans (like for the inn and bar etc.) and maps. both city and countryside detailed and broad. I'm creating a whole world here where demons angels faith and mythological creatures are all real, and miracles happen all the time. people call it magic, it starts out sort of dystopian but I plan to weave a bit more fantasy in as I go along. I hope to make it so real that people who read can't be sure if it is real, or if it's Fantasy. I wrote a song over the course of the 2020 -22 covid pandemic, and I only need a singer, or myself, with some background instruments to sing and record it. (I have not figured out the melody yet.) I have the...

Flower and Verse: 2 Chronicles 20:20

blue blossom 2 Chronicles 20:20  And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

Stuffed Animal Collection: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the jungle.... creatures were stirring.... and scurried about. They poked and prodded the hard frozen ground, pawed at roots, or pecked branches and trunk. All looked about for a morsel or two; 't would bring them all cheer. 'twas a cold winter night and not a cookie was left; Santa if he came would find not a snack, for in the wild jungle a lump of coal would be good for a fire and warmth. And perhaps a roast goose, or a duck would fill all the empty tummies, that otherwise starve. Oh Santa, for us in the jungle so wide, carve not a doll or a train, but a great roast beast and vegetables for a side. Make for us a Christmas feast, and not a single toy. For us a full tummy would bring greatest joy, and let this pass to all nations blinded by greed, Santa, tell them: there are many starving children to feed. Bring them God's love, and a message to their heart, like the Grinch so long ago, Help them see the meaning of ...

Stuffed Animal Collection: Chi Chi Reports

Mom & Kid who won the snow man Photo by Chi Chi Um hi, My name is chi chi. I'm here on behalf of the King, Sher Con the Great, to report on the service auction I went to.  There was a great turnout, and everyone seemed to be having fun. I couldn't tell for sure as someone forgot to inform me it was a ladies only event and I had to hide in Jenn's purse! -- You   should have just told them you were there on My business; they would have let you in, and probably given you a grand seat too! Well anyway I was not informed and I'm still new to the job of being your royal messenger, so I did not know all that. you should have told me   what to do to get in.-- On to the report. I listened close and even took notes on what I heard. There were many great service crafts auctioned including four of the King's "blankets" courtesy of Jenn and Becky. In fact there were so many great crafts that Becky's handknit blankets had to be auctioned in pairs. They ...

Stuffed Animal Collectio: Becky's Been Busy!

Hi everyone! It's been a while, and I have been busy, busy, busy! This fall Jenn and I have been making hand knit dishcloths with special designs on them! Sher Con took the pumpkin one we made first, - He called it a blanket! - Jenn is still just a little upset about that, but honestly for us stuffed animals it's big enough to be a blanket to us. But we want you to know their purpose is washing dishes. - especially the holiday ones! - Right, especially the holiday dishes. It adds a festive mood to the less than desirable chore of clean up after all that feasting and holiday cooking, (or so I've been told). Anyway, we've been busy knitting and documenting the designs so we can show everyone how to make them, they are just so fun! We've made four so far and will take them with us to the service auction. Later, Chi Chi will report how much they went for. It should be loads of fun! Last year we took 2. A pumpkin, and a Christmas tree and both went for around 100 serv...

Stuffed Animal Collection: Jenn commits treason.

Dear Friends, Although Sher Con has claimed the pumpkin dish cloth I have made as his blanket, and has indicated that more will be made for his "Throne room" guests, and distributed to the poor at the service auction, I would like you all to know I haven't forgotten you. I have been creating patterns and detailed instructions for these dish cloth "Blankets" so you can make some for yourselves and your friends and family. Also what does not make it to the auction, will be put on sale, regardless of if the king needs them for his "Throne room". they are my hand knit creations, and no cuddly kitty, King or otherwise is going to stop me from selling MY stuff. as the patterns are created I will be preparing to list them for sale as digital files through my handmade art and craft shop on etsy. If you have a particular Idea, and would like to know if I could make it into a pattern, or would just like me to make it, please send me a message on Facebook, or ...

Stuffed Animal Collection: Sher Con (and a nervous Chi Chi)

Um, err, Hello. - is that right? - - Ugg - Yes, Just talk to them. But, what should I say? Oh Nevermind, I'll do it this time, and you listen, you'll get a chance next time. Greatings My people! This is Chi Chi. (say hello) Hello? He has kindly agreed to deliver news of the kingdom, and address you when I can not, regarding any new regulations, or moral reminders on the finer details of Jungle Law. It's starting to get colder, and winter is on it's way, so I am beginning to gather blankets to my throne room, such as this very festive if not quite long enough pumpkin design. - It's not supposed to be your blanket- it's a DISH CLOTH! - I won't hold that against you just make the next one bigger - But... - Now off, back to work. - Sigh, Oh well. - I will need full cooperation to gather enough so all in this great kingdom can be warm while they await an audience with myself, or my chief commander, Chi Chi. Also some are being gathered for the poor, a...

Stuffed animal Collection: Einstein on a Dogsled Team

Hello again, it is I Einstein.  I would like to tell you a little bit more about myself, and the dog sled team I am part of. A dog team will usually consist of about 9 dogs; 2 wheel dogs who have great strength, 6 runners who have endurance, and one smart lead dog with keen senses and loyalty to both the pack and man-employer. our team is somewhat different in it's configuration, and extremely different in breeds. we lack the 9th lead dog, but because of our unique difference, we don't need a lead. A man-employer usually puts a single dog at the front, and that shows the rest of the dogs that he or she has been chosen as the smartest and best leader. Our team has small and large dogs, so we've been put into teams. One Large, one small, side by side. This allows the small dogs on the team to look to my partner, puggles, to lead them, without being terrified. A leader should not invoke fear, but respect.  Puggles is a stout, little pug with a keen sense of smell and a big h...

Stuffed Animal Collection: Becky's Flower Art

Image
Hi everybody!  Summers almost over! And guess what?! we did it, Jenn and I did it! between the two of us we managed to draw every single flower in the whole jungle! There were 100's! Jenn says there may be a few winter blooms but we don't need to worry so much about that 'cause very few flower types bloom in the colder winter months. Those we can take a leisurely pace with drawing.  I'm relieved 'cause running around the Jungle drawing every day has been exhausting! But now we have all the flowers drawn, and Jenn says soon we'll be able to share them all with everybody in an e-book I've suggested in the meantime we could share with all of you one at a time - we still have to convert our drawings to computer files - And even got permission from the king to have biweekly " Flower and Verse " posts. Sher Con Said his people could use a little hope and encouragement as we head into winter and colder months. Whatever that means! I'm happy to shar...

Stuffed Animal Collection: George collects Flowers

Hello, George again. It has been a while. Some of you have problably seen me gathering flowers. And no, I’m not Gay! My wife loves them, and you know I really love my wife. She has some exotic tastes, and get’s board with the local flowers all the time, so yeah, as a special treet, and a way of showing her my undying affection, I will travel long distances to collect a bundle of exotic flowers for her supper. It always makes her so happy. I love to see her happy. There I go talking about my beautiful wife again. Um so anyway, my interests, that’s what you wanted to know about right? Ok, well, I do enjoy exploring caves, weird for a gorilla, but some of the caves I’ve been in were hard to get to, and it required great strength. Once I scaled a cliff to get to a cave that was hundreds of feet up! There was a ledge, and a rock blocking it, well a bolder really, but I could see there was a cave, so to satisfy curiosity, and give me a challenge of strength, I climbed up, with no real Ide...
