My monsters and others are back for a second story in honor of World Folktales and Fables Week. If you missed the first one, go read it first.
Once there were three little pigs whose mother could not afford their keep, so she sent them out into the world.
We are nearing the end of World Folktales and Fables Week (March 17-23), and in honor of that, I’ve coerced my spokesmonsters and some other local residents to star in retellings of two stories. Credits are at the end, so without any ado, today’s story!
The sorcerer’s apprentice was left alone with instructions to have the floor clean before the sorcerer’s return.
Sometimes the planets align.
Before Christmas I had an Open Hours at the Sew-op about last minute gifts. No one showed, so I used one of the ideas provided by my Upper Valley Fiber Crafts co-blogger Jenn to make this guy:
He’s from Mix and Match Monsters from It’s Always Autumn. I left him at the Sew-op to be a sample for Jenn’s last minute gifts Open Hours a few days later, and in the hustle and bustle of Christmas forgot about him entirely until I was back at the Sew-op today (and didn’t realize how much he has in common with the monster of the same shape on the website until looking it up tonight).
Incidentally, that pink button was just lying around in the Sew-op, and I was amazed what it did for the character. Just see side by side:
He plays the rare 8-string bass. I asked my husband if he wanted him, and he said yes, “but I didn’t want to just ask if I could have him.”
One more shot with better light and camera. I only had my flip phone with me for the above.
