Violet has arrived in California with her foster family and she seems to be having a GREAT time. She was telling the family about her sister Viola who is currently on her way to Canada and she got a little sad so her foster mommy got her a treat, I think she is in love! We are looking forward to hearing from her soon!

Meet Pemberley - Our First Monster Exchange Student

Pemberley came to us from Texas and seems to be having a great time seeing all the greenness of Washington. She was so excited about the trees she just couldn't stop climbing them....



She got a little carried away and almost fell all the way out of the tree.

Luckily for her the girls were right there to catch her and give her some love.



I think she was trying to tell me she would like some tea, so I quickly made her a nice warm cup!

Violet and Viola - Traveling Monsters

When I saw a group of gals over on the Danger Crafts group on Ravelry talking about doing a group of traveling monsters I jumped at the chance to join in. I ended up joining both the domestic and international groups so I made two monsters. My two monsters ended up being twins that I affectionately named after my grandma Violet and her twin sister Viola.

Violet and Viola's first adventure was to see the play Oliver with their human sisters Lippy Lou and Lynner in Seattle. They had a great time and got to ride in a bus and see the space needle all in one day.

On the bus with Lippy Lou


They spied the Space Needle before anyone could show them.


Waiting for tickets at the ticket window.


Lippy Lou and Violet playing around while waiting for the bus to come back to get them.


The sisters sharing a tearful goodbye. Violet headed out to Canada while Viola was on her way to Sunny California, she left just in time too it is awfully cold here in Washington.



And there they go, with their journals so we will get to hear all about their adventures while they are away.


Lippy Lou and Lynner are so excited to meet the new monsters coming our way soon!!
