Content coming soon...

I hope to have some new things to post soon. These last few weeks (maybe months :S) I have been with out inspiration or inclination to make anything. This seems to have spread to the rest of my life as well. I haven't felt like reading, gaming, crafting etc.

I actually have too complete 2 mini/mid monkeys before the end of the month so I'm hoping this will give me the kick in the butt that I need to start making things again. I do have one idea buzzing around but I'm worried it's above my 'skill' level and will end up incomplete. I also need to buy some more materials for it which involve a trip to hobbycraft and as much as I love the store I seem to have an issue with over spending in there. I have never been able to come out spending less than £25! So I'm trying to put that off until I have a little more money and a firmer idea of where the project will go so I do not waste money on materials that will only get left to collect dust.

I'm going to try and force my self to start the monkeys this weekend in the hope it kick starts me. It's a method I sometimes take on with reading. I force myself to try and get into another book and before I know it a weeks gone by and I've read 3 or 4.

I've also just noticed that my Mum is now following me *waves* yes the 2 monkeys mentioned are yours. I'll have them ready in time.

Monkeys... and a token bunny

I make sock monkeys. People seem to love them! I didn't think they would be that popular, I just thought it was me and my weird sense of taste. 

The ones below were made as prizes for competition winners on a forum I'm part of. I also had a go at my first bunny. I didn't like the nose template I found so I decided to have a go my self. It was actually an accident but turned out okay, looks a little cat like, but I was happy with my first attempt.

I really want to try owls and dragons next, but I still have a few monkeys on order.

So with out further waffling... of which I am usually guilty of, I give you Minkeys Monkeys.

Absence

My recent absence has been due to many things, life in general and sadly having to have our Abby Cat put down. She was unfortunately very poorly and in a lot of pain, in the last few days she stopped eating. It was a heartbreaking decision to make but the best one for her. She was in pain and it would have been cruel to try and prolong her life for our own needs. She is very missed in the house, her presence was far too noticeable that we have taken on another cat.

Frank is a BSH nearly all black, I was reluctant to take on another black cat so soon, but he has such a different personality to Abby it doesn't hurt as much. He was very under weight, he had flees and worms, poor bugger has had a rough start to life. It felt right getting another cat and re homing one in need is something I prefer to do. But the other half also wanted a kitten or as he says "A new cat to match the old cat" so we have also brought a little silver tabby lad called George... Or not so little now as it's 3 months on since I wrote this originally but I forgot to publish it. Opps.

Full names Frank West and George A Catero... yes someone in our house is a Zombie fan... Sorry did I say fan I meant fanatic.

I will at some point get round to updating this. I will have some new monkey pictures up, a review for Alice: Madness Returns (If I finish it lol) and a few other bit's and pieces.
