Suki in Washington and Seattle!

While i was away on my trip, Suki's journey around the world proceeded too. She was having fun over at Jonah's place in Washington. There are loads of pictures on her blog and her flickr pages too. She took Suki to a lot of fun places in Washington and there was even a trip to Seattle! Suki visited the tulip and daffodil festival in Mt. Vernon, she went to a casino resort and to dinner at Applebee's and she played with a couple of cats. Or did the cats play with her?

Thank you so much Jonah for showing her such a great time!

I just found out that Suki will be travelling to Roxy in South Africa next! Whoohoo, how exiting!

If you want to give Suki a place to stay next, send Roxy an email: princessroxy1508 AT hotmail DOT com.

Suki in Orlando

Suki has officially started her trip around the world!
She has arrived at the home of Shibooya who made great pictures of Suki in the sun! Looks like they are having great fun.

She is still looking for someone to take in Suki as a short term house guest next, so if you want to play, hop over to her blog and leave her a message with your email and blog info etc and be Suki's next destination!
Looks like she found a new place to stay!

Travelling (times two)

My little friend Suki is currently still chilling on our purple couch, but is all ready to go on her big travel adventure around the world! I fixed her up with a small suitcase and a backpack which holds her passport and a letter to the ones who will give her a place to stay during her travels.
She is very excited to start her trip in Orlando staying with Shibooya!


The 'times two' in the post title means another person is going on a trip. Today the final projects for my book have been picked up by the courier to go to my publisher in London, and early April i will fly out there for a couple of days! Whoohoo! And what makes it even better is that i could manage to add a trip over to Amsterdam, so i can visit my friends and family! I'm soo excited about this. But before than i still have a lot of work to do to finish the book, but my heart is already in the plane and on its way over!

Wilbur the world traveller

Meet Wilbur the pink piggy. He is staying with us for a little while. He belongs to a 7th grade student from Des Moines, Iowa. His travels are part of a school project. So far he went from Iowa to a couple of places in The Netherlands, then to Iceland and now arrived in New York, the Big Apple.

He even has a cute backpack! There's a passport inside with stories about his adventures everywhere.
I think he is very happy sleeping over at our place. All our little friends love him very much.

He is already deep in conversation with Kuri and Suki, the two sock monkeys. Now Suki wants to travel the world too. But Kuri is scared of flying, so if she goes they will have a long distance relationship for a while. Kuri is a bit sad about this, but knows that if his girlfriend wants to go he will have to wish her well and bless her adventures.

With this post there are two questions.
1. I'm looking for somebody in the USA to take Wilbur in as a guest. After showing him a good time, send him back to his owner in Iowa. He is expected to be back from his journey before April 30th this year. Wilbur has found a place for his upcoming adventure! Thank you Roxanne!
2. Second question, is there anyone sweet out there who would want to give Suki, the pink sockmonkey, a place to stay if she would want to go on a trip around the world too? I don't want to send her off just like that, it would be nice to know that she has a place where she can stay for awhile and be taken care of. All you have to do is write in her little passport and send her on to someone else in the world with her passport and adventures. Thank you Mari! She would love to stay with you for awhile!

So i'm looking for two people, one in the USA to send Wilbur to, and one anywhere in the world as a first adventure spot for Suki. Please leave a comment (with email addy) if you want to play! I'll contact you for details.

Checkered couple

Oops. Bought socks in the wrong size...
Trashcan or reconstruct? What do you think?!
Turned them into this couple who have now created a home for themselves on top of my bookcase.

I just cut and sewn as it seemed logic to me. There are many tutorials of how to make sock monkeys and puppets to be found online. Webgoddess has a clear step by step tutorial which is a good starting point if you don't want to just wing it.

Oh yeah, stuffing a long looong and narrow tail is not a fun activity.
