Obsolete World Creatures!

2012-02-24T07:00:00.000-08:00

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!

2012-02-23T07:00:00.000-08:00

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!

2012-02-22T07:00:00.000-08:00

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!

2012-02-21T07:00:00.000-08:00

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!

2012-02-20T07:00:00.000-08:00

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!

2012-02-17T07:00:00.000-08:00

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!

Love, Love, Love!

2012-02-16T07:00:00.000-08:00

Yes, we are still celebrating love in all it's forms, and Fishcakes- Nifty Stuff Made By Voz is here to help! 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! (and if you are like me, and your hormones have suddenly decided to run your life at age 43, you will know what I mean by at any moment!)

Love Monsters!

2012-02-15T07:00:00.000-08:00

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!

2012-02-14T07:00:00.000-08:00

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!

Robot Love?

2012-02-13T07:00:00.000-08:00

Speaking of love, I love this print from King Space Laser! In fact, I love it so much I have it hanging over my bed! I think I forgot to share it's awesomeness with you though, so I thought now would be the perfect time to remedy that! The print is from a whole series of prints about our robot future. I'm only posting the one about love today, since I don't want to give it away, but let's just say it doesn't end well for us!

Puppy (and Kitty!) Love

2012-02-10T07:00:00.000-08:00

While we are celebrating love, I thought it would be fitting to include some gifts for your dogmonsters and catmonsters! Sew Strange Creations has several different monsters who would love to come and play with your dogmonster, catnip octopals and monsters to hold the bags for your walks! Yay! Everybody wins!

Nuff Nuff Love!

2012-02-09T07:00:00.000-08:00

Nothing says love like bunnymonsters, monster monsters, Cthulhu, and bacon and eggs! Buy them all at once from Nuff Nuff Toys, and watch your loved-one swoon with delight!

Felt Love!

2012-02-08T07:00:00.000-08:00

There is no way we could celebrate love without including the wonderful beasties from FeltLlang! What ever you've got, they've got it covered (ha!) with cases for your I-phone, cell phone, Kindle, i-pod classic, business cards, and check book, as well as key chains and charms! Just looking through the shop is a love fest! In fact, I think I'm going to have to order a case right now so that my i-pod classic will truly know how much I appreciate it!

Together Forever!

2012-02-07T07:00:00.000-08:00

These Peanut Butter and Jelly guys from Fia (pdx) - Plushes for your Raditude, are the perfect way to express your love for your best friend or your significant other! After all, they are the universal symbol for things that "go togeather," like beer and string cheese, right!? No? Oh, maybe that's just me...

Valentine's Yeti!

2012-02-06T07:00:00.000-08:00

If you celebrate Valentines Day, you could get your sweetheart any one of the creatures at Careful It Bites to express your love, and it would be a huge hit! BUT, if you want to really, really impress the object of your affection, I'd recommend this limited edition Valentine's Day Yeti! Now, for those of you who don't celebrate Valentines Day, that simply allows you to get the Yeti immediately and give it to your honey today! I hope you are reading this, person I am married to...

The Most Romantic Card Ever!

2012-02-03T07:00:00.000-08:00

As you know, Squirrel Momma is one of my very favorite shops on the interwebs. So every holiday, I check in to see what new magic she has created, but this time, this time, she has outdone herself!! Zombie hearts and cards in two sizes! Go pick the size that fits for you!

AdoraWools Creatures!

2012-02-02T07:00:00.000-08:00

I can't say that I like Valentine's Day, but I can say that I am thrilled about the amount of cute that shows up every year in it's honor! So from now until the fourteenth, we will celebrate all the love monsters! These terrifying love bunny monsters from the perfectly named AdoraWools are the first up for your heartfelt (ha!) enjoyment!

Hannakin Creatures!

2012-01-31T07:00:00.000-08:00

Hannakin is a one stop kick-ass monster shop, with plush, prints, cards, and jewelry! I am a fan of all the art there, but I have to say I was stopped in my tracks when I saw "the Music" print! Delightful monsters AND my favorite Leonard Cohen quote, be still my heart! Honestly, I don't think I've ever busted out the wallet faster!

MadKnits Monsters!

2012-01-30T07:00:00.000-08:00

You know what I like about monsters? Everything! BUT, today while I was going through the list, I re-realized that one thing I particularly like about them is their many sizes, forms, personalities, and colors. You really can find a monster for any household! AND, as we all know, every household needs one! Today's excellent examples come to us from Mad Knits, where they specialize in big toothed protector monsters bred in a variety of amazing colors!

Egg Shew the Yoga Ball Monster!

2012-01-27T07:00:00.000-08:00

Once again I have come across such an extraordinary beast, with such an unusual description, that nothing I could write would ever do it justice! On occasions such as this, all I can do is quote the shop's description and sit back and let you enjoy it for yourself! This creature was found at Plaider Pillar who states, and I quote:

"So anyway, this guy is a yoga ball monster. What does that mean? It means he's inflatable by means of a yoga ball inserted into his face, of course. You can sit on him, unless your butt is made of knives. But even then, you can sit on him . . . once.

All you have to do is put the yoga ball in the monster through his face hole, face hole, inflate it with a pump, and plug the ball, ball. Then, tuck the face flap, face flap in around the edges. You should inflate the ball so that it completely fills the monster, monster, and the pressure will keep the face flap, face flap in place while you bounce on him, bounce on him.

You might be like, "Why is these instructions so fun to read, read?" To find out the answer, you'll have to purchase this righteous beast."

Zombear!

2012-01-26T07:00:00.000-08:00

Beware the dreaded Zombear from Bijou Kitty! This deadly creature will attack your heart and turn your brain to mush! All you will be left able to do is push "add to cart," oh noooo!

Cephalopod Love!

2012-01-25T07:00:00.000-08:00

These friendly cephalopods were found at Green Dogs and Things where you can get one (or ten!) in the color of your choice!
