Mr Fox Patterns!






If you have been playing along at home, you know that I try not to just post the shop's description of the creature, since I assume you can go read that yourself. HOWEVER, sometimes the description is so awesome that I cannot let you miss out, in case you don't have the time to click over! This is one of those times, so enjoy! Mr Fox Amigurumi Toy Crochet Patterns by Maffers sez:

"The Onklid (Latin Pan Quercus) is a highly elusive primate, known for representing a one-member ecosystem. The Onklid harvests the ripe, juicy fruits that grow from its head and as such lives completely independently of all other species. Many people have tried to harvest the fruits for themselves, believing that their consumption provides infinite wisdom. However, the Onklid is highly defensive and can exhibit extraordinary power and strength when required. There are, however, methods of obtaining the fruits; it is rumoured that all Onklids will allow a person to take a basket of fruit in return for a six-pack of Special Brew."

See what I mean? You really should take the time to read them all the creatures' descriptions! I promise you won't regret it!

LokiCoki Creatures!






These stunning creatures from Loki Coki look wise to me. Noble and wise! In fact, I may have to adopt one. I'd say we have a shortage of wisdom in my house, as we tend to err on the side of mischievous over here!

Floffin Creature!





This Floffin from Naked Lightbulbs is currently looking for a roommate situation in your area! Floffins are Yeti-type creatures and are known to be very easy to live with. They would never, ever, eat all the chocolate chip cookie dough out of your chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, leaving nothing but vanilla, NEVER!

These gorgeous prints come to us from Obsolete World, the artwork of Jeannie L. Paske, where they are taken from actual photographs of where Jeannie lives, and printed up just for you! Beautiful aren't they?

Pussie Toys Creatures!






All of these awesome creatures are from PussieToys who are based in Spain. Where, I imagine their name does not have quite the same interesting connotations as it does here...

Pillow Friend!



This handsome fellow from Snaarlz has everything I like in a pillow: color, style, and personality! He can hang out on my couch any time, as long as he watches those impressive teeth!

Jitterbug Creatures!


These colorful creatures from Jitterbugs by CL seem to be recovering from their head injuries well. They've been all stitched up and, I suspect, are now ready for more mischief! Check them out here as well!

Skippity Hop Creatures!







I would feel comfortable adopting any of the marvelous critters from Skippity Hop Creatures because, as a rule, all the creatures there come with their own sweater! I imagine this is because they are bred in Scotland, where it can get quite chilly, but it works out perfectly for me, since I am always worrying about keeping my crew warm in my icebox of a house! It doesn't help that everyone who lives here, was raised by people who would never turn on the heat, so it never occurs to any of us to do that! We simply pile on more clothes and sleep in sweatshirts and such, without even thinking about it. It looks to me like these guys would fit right in, no problem at all!

Love Transformer!







This little guy from It's A Cyn transforms from hiding his heart behind his back, to handing his heart to you, with a flip of his arms (after he works up the courage!) Hooray!

These handsome monsters represent all the stages of love, and you can use them as handy visual cues to help your partner understand which particular phase you are in at any moment!

Cutesy but not Cutesy has a bumper crop of love monsters for you to choose from this year! I think it's all that extra sunshine! Or maybe they just spring up everywhere D. Koss walks?! She is the Monster Whisperer after all!

Anti-Valentine's Day Ninja!



I don't know how you celebrate Valentine's day in the rest of the world, but here in America our corporate overlords have decreed that we must celebrate our love in certain specified ways on a day they decide, and today is that day! It's all very romantic! Only the anti-Valentine's Day ninja from Saint Angel Productions is brave enough to fight for your right to celebrate your love on any day you want, or not at all! In fact, in his honor, I have decided to celebrate love ALL WEEK LONG, even after Valentine's day has passed! Maybe even next week too, we shall see!

Monster Friends! See them all in the older posts!
