The Misadventures of Mub

Well, it does have a clip again...

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 21:18:00 +0000

The clip on my MP3 player broke and I can't find my spare so Mr. Jummy MacGyvered a solution.

What would I ever do without him?

Month of Monkeys: All Done Day 31!

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:12:00 +0000

Well I can't believe I actually managed to pull it off! I made a monkey 29 of 31 days (Today and Grandpa Monkey day being the 2 non monkey making days). I still have a lot of socks left though so this won't be the last bunch of monkeys you see!

Month of Monkeys: Day 30

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:21:00 +0000

This is another teeny weeny baby sock monkey.

Month of Monkeys: Day 29

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 20:41:00 +0000

Today I present to you SUPER MONKEEEEEY! I'm not gonna lie. I'm pretty impressed with myself for this one.

Month of Monkeys: Day 28

This monkey looks a little Mr. Jummy-esque, just in a different color.

Month of Monkeys: Day 27

It's about 90 degrees here today. The irony of a monkey covered in snowflakes is not lost on me.

Month of Monkeys: Day 26

When I started sewing this monkey I said "This is going to turn out awesome or terrible." I was wrong. It's TERRIBLY AWESOME! I can't decide if this one needs a poking out tongue or not. Martijn thinks he's pretty funky as is, but I think he's sorta crazy looking and might benefit from a silly tongue!

Month of Monkeys: Day 25

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:59:00 +0000

This is a baby knee sock so it has a wee little body and long gangly legs. It makes me giggle a little.

Month of Monkeys: Day 24

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:04:00 +0000

Back to our regularly scheduled programming of monkeys that I've actually made!

Month of Monkeys: Day 23

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 18:13:00 +0000

Okay, today I am cheating a little bit. It is 95 billionty degrees outside and I spent my monkey sewing time unearthing the airco and getting it set up. Instead I am going to show you something else rather special! This is a sock monkey that my mom's grandmother made in the late 1950s for the grandkids to play with when they visited her. He was in really rough shape when he resurfaced from storage. He was filthy and full of holes. My mom said she thought he probably had kittens born on him at some point in his life and it looked to me like a mouse decided to eat part of his shirt. She gave him a bath and repaired him and I think he looks brilliant. I decided he needed to be called Grandpa Monkey. I love his sculpted face! And it's proof positive that monkey making is in my blood!

Month of Monkeys: Day 22

I think maybe this one needs some big floppy red shoes to match his red nose.

Month of Monkeys: Day 21

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Sun, 21 Jul 2013 19:13:00 +0000

This little guys name is Dumbo. You probably don't need to use too much imagination to figure out why.

Month of Monkeys: Day 20

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Sat, 20 Jul 2013 21:47:00 +0000

This poor little monkey has had a hard life. Something happened in the process of being made and shoved in the cupboard for a few months that resulted in random holes and cuts in places. I don't remember if I knew about it and that's why it got shoved in the cupboard or if Mr Jummy started snacking on it in his spare time but I had to get really good at monkey suturing to keep this one's guts from falling out.

Month of Monkeys: Day 19

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 21:30:00 +0000

I have come to realize that I really have a LOT of argyles in my stash! This little fellow is also showing off our cute "new to us" deco clock!

Month of Monkeys: Day 18

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:30:00 +0000

This poor little monkey was very plain aside from the pink head and nose... so I decided to make it some clothes. After that experience I don't know how many more of my monkeys will be dressed. They are a bit oddly shaped and devious to make clothes for!

Month of Monkeys: Day 17

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:25:00 +0000

I present to you Mr Gangly. He has silly long arms and legs! Moreso than many of my other knee-sock monkeys.

Month of Monkeys: Day 16

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:31:00 +0000

I decided to name this guy Fuzz... because I'm amazingly creative with names, ya know?

Month of Monkeys: Day 15

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:25:00 +0000

I had so much fun with the silly monkey yesterday that I made another one.

Month of Monkeys: Day 14

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 18:34:00 +0000

Everyone can use a little silliness in their lives!

Month of Monkeys: Day 13

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Sat, 13 Jul 2013 19:55:00 +0000

I made this for a friend who loves yellow. It makes ME smile, so hopefully it will make them smile too.

Month of Monkeys: Day 12

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Fri, 12 Jul 2013 20:38:00 +0000

Another argyle to add to the collection!

Month of Monkeys: Day 11

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:26:00 +0000

This is a teeny little monkey... a teeny little monkey with slightly evil looking eyebrows.

Month of Monkeys: Day 10

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 20:15:00 +0000

This is Mr Monochrome. He's actually more greyscale but Mr Greyscale didn't roll off the tongue quite so well.

Month of Monkeys: Day 9

noreply@blogger.com (mub) — Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:35:00 +0000

Another pair of little girl socks turned into an amazingly cute (if I do say so myself) little monkey.

Month of Monkeys: Day 8

This guy is just hanging about.
