Monster Dolls


More Gift Ideas, folks, from a book I love!


Meet my Guest Artist!

This is Cheryl... my Mom.

We affectionately call her "Woman"

(as in Superwoman, naturally)
This is what she is capable of...

This is The ArtistChild's favorite toy ever. One of mine, too.
Who says grown-ups don't need toys?!

Love Big Lipped Betty, below.

If I remember correctly, that one was an original idea.


And, below, is Hungry. His brother, who very much resembles him, is named Silly.
My kiddos are constantly correcting me, when I mix the two up.


He's worn it around for 4 years, and it's held up wonderfully. She makes these toys to LAST.
Yes, a boy's dream come true.
You put your books, toys, rocks, worms, underwear, whatever
IN the monster's mouth, for safe storage.
To empty your treasures, just make the monster vomit-- voila.

And what do you end up with?
A rather rascally monster, with his tongue sticking out and his eyes crossed.
Like I said, perfect for little boys. ;)
This Noni knows what the grandkids like.
Plus she still makes toys for me!

Wendy, you are officially my first same-name commentor! For some reason, this is very exciting to me. There aren't a lot of Wendys in the world.

Mommers is so gifted with these! Priceless! She just made Ran an adorable turle ("Kelpy") and a crazy kitty cat sock creature for me!
